Theseus and Cells: separation of concerns
Theseus and Cells: separation of concerns
A new strategy page, Separation of Concerns Between Theseus and Cells, draws the line between the two efforts explicitly:
- Theseus owns how a modular feature is built, packaged, instrumented, and shipped — ending at a self-describing Helm chart.
- Cells owns where that chart runs and the values it runs with — the tenant model, ring rollouts, routing, and per-cell configuration delivery.
- The platform bindings model is the contract between them, with two rules keeping it honest: application code never knows which cell it is in, and services are designed for absence.
The page also lists the anti-responsibilities on both sides and the open ownership questions still being settled. If you have ever asked “is this a Theseus problem or a Cells problem?”, this is the page to bookmark.
