How it is delivered
One product, three ways to run it.
The same Webrack application, deployed to match your data-control and operations requirements: on your own servers, on a dedicated instance we manage, or on our shared cloud. This is the technical overview for the people who have to sign off on it.
The shape of it
How a request flows, at every tier.
Audio is synthesised in the browser on the student’s device. The server stores accounts, classes, and saved patches, and serves the application — it is not in the audio path. What changes between tiers is where that server lives and who runs it.

Self-hosted
Run the Docker bundle on your own infrastructure. Strongest data residency; works air-gapped.
Technical detailsDedicated
A managed single-tenant instance we operate for you alone, in a region you choose.
Technical detailsCloud
Our shared multi-tenant service with per-tenant isolation and the fastest start.

FAQ
Common delivery questions.
Can we move between tiers later?
Yes. The application is the same across all three tiers — only where it runs and who operates it differ. Many schools pilot on cloud for speed and later move to a dedicated or self-hosted deployment as procurement and IT review complete. Patches and class data come with you.
Is there any Cloudflare or vendor lock-in?
No. The application is designed to be self-hostable on ordinary infrastructure via a Docker bundle, so it is portable across hosts. (This marketing site happens to use Cloudflare Pages, but the app itself does not depend on it.)
Which tier is right for us?
If you must keep data on premises or run air-gapped, choose self-hosted. If you want isolation and a specific data region without running infrastructure, choose dedicated. If you want the fastest start with isolation and minimisation built in, choose cloud. If you are unsure, request a pilot and we will scope it with you.
