Platform

Platform Overview

A detailed breakdown of the Pilot operating system — capabilities, data architecture, integrations, and security model.

Tech Stack

Next.js 15 (App Router)

Server components, streaming, edge-ready API routes

Supabase (PostgreSQL)

Row Level Security, real-time subscriptions, auth

Stripe Connect

Rent collection, payouts, subscriptions, webhooks

Upstash Redis

Rate limiting, session caching, analytics aggregation

BunnyCDN

Data Flow

Landlord Signs Up→Creates Property→Invites Tenant→Lease Generated→Rent Collected→Ledger Updated→Analytics & AI

All financial transactions flow through Stripe Connect — Pilot never holds funds. Rent payments are collected from tenants and disbursed directly to landlord bank accounts, with Pilot taking a platform fee. Every transaction is recorded in the payment ledger for full audit history.

Integrations

Stripe Connect

Marketplace payments, ACH/card collection, instant payouts

Resend

Branded transactional email with delivery tracking

Upstash Redis

Sub-millisecond rate limiting and response caching

OpenRouter AI

GPT-4o-mini for lease analysis, triage, and insights

RentCast

Property valuations, rent estimates, market listings

Security Architecture

Row Level Security (RLS) on every Supabase table — users can only access their own data

Stripe webhook signature verification on all payment events

Rate limiting on all API routes via Upstash Redis (per-user sliding window)

Constant-time comparison for cron secrets to prevent timing attacks

GDPR/CCPA compliant data export at /api/user/export and account deletion

FHA/FCRA-safe AI scoring — no protected class data used in risk models

Zod validation on all API inputs — no raw user data reaches the database

HTTPS-only with Vercel edge network and automatic TLS

Compliance

Pilot is designed to be compliant with the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). AI-powered tenant risk scoring uses only payment behavior and lease history — no protected class characteristics (race, religion, national origin, sex, disability, familial status) are used in any scoring model. Users retain full rights to export and delete their data at any time.
