Architecture

1Password’s production architecture is centered on a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted vault service, where plaintext is encrypted on the client before reaching 1Password’s servers. Publicly available sources confirm hybrid cloud deployment patterns for components such as the SCIM bridge, but they do not reliably expose the company’s full internal database stack or all backend infrastructure details.

Its production environment is described as immutable infrastructure managed through infrastructure-as-code, with isolated production databases and cloud-native encryption, but the exact underlying database vendors are not publicly disclosed.
