Architecture

Mendix on Azure provides a managed service to host Mendix apps in an Azure subscription you own.

Mendix operates all services and components within the scope of the Mendix on Azure service for you. The service leverages several underlying Azure services that are preconfigured to optimally host your Mendix apps.

Components Used in Mendix on Azure

Mendix deploys, operates and is responsible for overall service functionality of the following components as part of Mendix on Azure:

  • Azure Kubernetes Service with Managed NGINX Ingress Controller (app routing add-on)
  • Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server
  • Azure Container Registry
  • Azure Blob Storage
  • Azure Managed Grafana
  • Azure Managed Prometheus
  • Azure Virtual Network with private endpoints and private DNS zones
  • Mendix Runtime
  • Mendix Operator
  • Mendix Agent

You cannot alter these managed components yourself beyond what is offered in the Mendix on Azure and Mendix on Kubernetes self-service portals. Mendix limits customization to ensure a consistent, predictable, and scalable customer experience.
