What Mission Control is

Mission Control is the operations dashboard for the 9dot Studios agency. It manages the full lifecycle of client websites: creating clients, provisioning their databases and subdomains, deploying their sites, and maintaining a reusable catalog of plugins and themes.

The platform is split across a few services, each doing one job:

• Mission Control (this app) — the dashboard and its API server, running on Replit.
• Payload CMS — the multi-tenant content system on an Oracle Cloud VM. Creating a client here is what actually provisions databases and DNS.
• Cloudflare — hosts every client site (Pages), manages the *.9dotstudios.com subdomains (DNS), and stores optimized media (R2).
• Supabase — Postgres database that stores Mission Control's own records (clients, projects, catalog, deployments, activity log).
• Turso — one isolated database per client for that client's own data (form submissions etc.).

There is no login on Mission Control itself — it is a single-operator internal tool. The systems it controls are all secured with their own credentials, stored as Replit secrets.
