Backed by Apache KIE veterans, Aletyx launches with cutting-edge builds of Drools and Kogito—bringing seamless GenAI integration, unmatched scalability, and enterprise-grade support for open-source automation solutions.
[April 22, 2025] – Today, Aletyx, a new company founded by leading contributors of the Apache KIE ecosystem, officially launches with a mission to deliver enterprise-grade automation intelligence grounded in open-source technologies. Aletyx debuts with two flagship offerings: the Aletyx Enterprise build of Drools and the Aletyx Enterprise build of Kogito, designed to empower organizations with safer AI integration, cloud-native scalability, and expert-driven support.
Since the transition of Drools and Kogito from Red Hat, the community has lacked a dedicated, open-source-savvy organization that not only understands the technology but also excels at delivering real-world value and knowledge to its users. Aletyx steps into this role—filling the gap with a mission to support both the open-source community and enterprise users with world-class tools and expertise.At the heart of the launch is Aletyx’s exclusive support for the MCP protocol, a groundbreaking feature available in its enterprise build of Drools. This integration enables users to instantly expose DMN (Decision Model and Notation) models to GenAI applications—transforming them into intelligent agents with built-in guardrails, no fine-tuning, no hallucinations, and no risk.
“With our enterprise builds, we’re giving organizations what they’ve been asking for: cloud-native performance and scalability with real AI innovative integration—backed by the same values that made open source thrive,” said Alex Porcelli, co-founder and long-time Apache KIE contributor.
The Aletyx Enterprise build of Kogito further sets itself apart by solving one of the biggest limitations in cloud-native workflow engines: scaling stateful services. While the community edition of Kogito is optimized for the cloud, its scalability has been limited. Aletyx’s build unlocks true horizontal scaling, enabling stateful applications to seamlessly run across multiple pods without idle resource waste.In addition to its products, Aletyx offers specialized training and consulting services for Drools, jBPM, and Kogito—rooted in decades of hands-on implementation experience across enterprise environments.
