For engineering leaders

# The commercially supported platform for stateful, auditable systems in regulated production

One consistency model for state, workflow, transactions, and history, with business logic in your code. Commercially supported for teams running production systems in regulated environments.

WHY TEAMS CHOOSE CYODA

## Fewer moving parts, built-in auditability

### Smaller platform team burden

One integrated stack replaces Kafka, Temporal or Camunda, an audit pipeline, and the glue code between them. Fewer systems to operate, fewer people to own them.

### Less architecture sprawl

One consistency contract instead of reconciling three. Outbox patterns, duplicate-event guards, and reconciliation pipelines are symptoms of a fragmented stack, not requirements.

### Audit and compliance by construction

Immutable event history is how data is stored, not a layer added on top. Temporal queries and audit trails are first-class, not bolted on before an exam.

ARCHITECTURE

## What Cyoda replaces

### The standard assembly

*   PostgreSQL : storage
*   Kafka : event streaming
*   Temporal / Camunda : workflow orchestration
*   Audit pipeline : separate service
*   Glue code : outbox patterns, reconciliation, duplicate-event guards

Three separate consistency contracts to reconcile, plus failure modes at each seam.

### The Cyoda model

*   One entity model : state, workflow, transactions, and history
*   One consistency contract : no reconciliation between systems
*   One audit mechanism : immutable history, built in
*   One storage model : PostgreSQL or Cassandra, same API
*   Your business logic : via gRPC processor, no platform lock-in

One consistency model for everything. Audit trails and temporal history are how data is stored, not added on top.

ENTERPRISE CYODA

## What commercial engagement includes

### Start with one service

Adopt Cyoda for a bounded backend service first. Prove the entity model, workflow, transactions, and history before expanding.

### Build with the core team

Work with Cyoda engineers on entity modelling, workflow design, processors, integrations, and audit requirements.

### Choose the right runtime

Develop and test with in-memory, SQLite, or PostgreSQL. Run smaller deployments on PostgreSQL. Use the licensed Cassandra engine when the workload needs distributed resilience, throughput, and fault tolerance.

### Support for regulated systems

Get practical help with architecture review, security questions, due diligence, and regulated-customer conversations from engineers who have built core systems in investment banks.

TRACK RECORD

## Built for production

Cyoda is designed for stateful, auditable systems that have to survive contact with real production constraints.

### Proven in production

In production since 2017 in regulated financial workflows.

### One model, multiple operating modes

Run the same Cyoda model in-memory, on SQLite, on PostgreSQL, or at enterprise scale with Cassandra.

### No re-platforming wall

Move from local iteration to durable and distributed deployment with a simple config change.

### Built by practitioners

Designed and built by engineers who spent decades building the core systems for global financial institutions.

If you're running stateful, auditable production workloads and you're evaluating whether to build or buy the platform layer, we'd like to talk.
