# Palantir Apollo **Entity class:** Continuous delivery and mission-software operations platform **Architecture:** [[wiki/Signals, Silos, and Sovereign Software|Signals, Silos, and Sovereign Software]] ## Definition **Palantir Apollo** is the continuous-delivery and day-two operations platform that deploys, monitors, updates, and governs software across public clouds, private infrastructure, on-premises systems, and disconnected or air-gapped environments. ## Modern Defense and Cybersecurity Role Apollo is the operational bridge between software development and accredited mission systems. It permits one software base to be continuously maintained across environments with different connectivity, classification, hardware, and release constraints. ## Chronological Proximity Apollo matured as Palantir moved from bespoke deployments toward continuously managed platforms and now forms the deployment layer beneath Foundry, Gotham, and AIP. ## Relational Proximity [[wiki/Palantir Zero-Trust Service Mesh|The zero-trust service mesh]] supplies runtime enforcement; [[wiki/Palantir FedStart|FedStart]] and [[wiki/Palantir Mission Manager|Mission Manager]] use Apollo's deployment and accreditation capabilities. ## Collection Routes [[collections/The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace|The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace]] · [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]] ## Sources / Provenance - [Primary documentation](https://www.palantir.com/docs/apollo/core/introduction)
