Standard v4 Plan Specifications
A reference for Standard v4 plan specifications
Purpose: This page lists resource and feature specifications for Webscale Standard v4 plans (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large).
Architecture overview
- Standard v4 is built on a Decoupled Plane Architecture — a three-plane model that separates administrative overhead and security processing from the core storefront.
- The Control Plane handles management tasks (backups, logging, analytics), freeing the Data Plane to dedicate 100% of its resources to serving customers.
- Container orchestration uses Podman, so every service runs as an isolated, rootless process — providing self-healing stability without cross-service impact.
- Unlike Essentials, Standard v4 uses a split Data Server / App Cluster model — the data server and application cluster are separate, dedicated instances that scale independently.
