Whole-Home Appliance Monitoring
Continuous electrical load tracking and socket-level sensing map power draw across residential circuits, pinpointing anomalies and standby waste without intrusive electrical rewiring.
Unified Control Dashboard
A single operational console integrates real-time appliance states, remote switching commands, load telemetry, and circuit event logs for transparent household energy visibility.
Ampere Aplomb applies continuous test automation and rigorous infrastructure engineering to validate the All Socket Switch architecture across distributed, cloud-native layers during prototype evaluation.
Sub-modules within the All Socket Switch platform are packaged into distinct containers and deployed as independently managed microservices. Kubernetes coordinates inter-service discovery, traffic routing, and runtime lifecycle policies across lab clusters.
This modular topology provides controlled deployment rollouts, automated pod recovery, and deterministic operational visibility while keeping hardware communication services segregated from analytical workloads.
Cluster Operational Controls
Service & Pipeline Verification
Telemetry & Log Observability
Infrastructure & Resiliency
The prototype cluster enforces isolated network namespaces, internal service meshes, and health probes to confirm autonomous recovery before edge commands reach socket switches.
Execution suites blend manual edge validation with automated test harnesses to verify service-to-service communication, deployment integrity, and microservices logic across continuous test runs.
End-to-end telemetry streams feed Apache Kafka pipelines into Elasticsearch test indexes, validating log continuity, high-frequency metric collection, and structured alert thresholds.
Harnesses simulate failover across L4-L7 networking, cloud infrastructure, persistent storage tiers, security integrations, and staged disaster-recovery runs for end-to-end robustness.
Autonomous Fault Recovery
Simulated pod termination tests confirm automatic service reconciliation within seconds, preventing telemetry bottlenecks or dropped command states during switch telemetry processing.
Controlled Staged Deployments
Canary deployment manifests route synthetic test traffic through updated microservices to observe queue latency and CPU constraints prior to widening test traffic scope.
Technology Stack Components
The current prototype architecture integrates edge sensors, message queuing, and distributed data indexing to validate end-to-end data pipelines before moving toward scalable hardware production.
