If it runs on Drools or KIE Server, it runs on Aletyx

Modernize Drools & jBPM without a rewrite

Aletyx is the only zero-rewrite path to modernize your logic and enable AI. Upgrade to a cloud-native stack that preserves your business logic and delivers the security and scale required for compliance-heavy sectors and mission-critical operations.

The risk of legacy automation

Your decisions and workflows are trapped on legacy infrastructure

Your core business automation runs on borrowed time. Legacy Drools and jBPM power your pricing, eligibility and risk. But the ecosystem has stalled. You rely on unpatched ‘abandonware’ that exposes you to audit failure. Your only official solution is an expensive rewrite.

Exposure to outdated community releases

Community releases for Drools and jBPM are years behind. You run core business logic on volunteer snapshots with no security patches or roadmap.

Costly forced rewrites for KIE Server & BAMOE

The IBM upgrade path forces you to abandon KIE Server. You face a full rewrite to Kogito that will cost millions in migration fees and regression testing.

Compliance failure from unpatched CVEs

Legacy stacks trap you on Java 8 and WildFly. This exposes your workflows to dozens of ‘High’ and ‘Critical’ vulnerabilities that will trigger audit failures.

Operational risk from declining patch velocity

Vendor support has evaporated. With IBM’s focus shifting and Red Hat’s maintenance ending, your production systems face declining patch velocity

One single incident could cost more than an annual support fee

Log4j proved the danger of hidden dependencies. Modernization is not just about new features. It’s about preventing the next crisis before it strikes.

The Aletyx solution

Modernize your decisions and workflows with the original architects

We are the original team behind Drools and jBPM.

Aletyx is the natural continuation of the platform. We offer the only path to modern 10.x capabilities and AI-native automation without the cost of a rewrite.

Simply replace your existing runtimes with:

Aletyx Enterprise build of Drools
Aletyx Enterprise build of KIE Server

Zero-rewrite migration

Retain your decision logic when you migrate. No breaking changes or 12-month refactoring projects.

Predictable pricing

Scale your processors and containers without being penalized for your success thanks to our ‘flat fee’ model.

Long-term security

Protect your critical systems with active security monitoring, patches and vulnerability tracking (CVEs).

Zero-rewrite migration in three steps

Non-intrusive diagnostics

Our tools analyze your current KIE/Drools repositories to map dependencies and versions.

Runtime swap

We replace outdated runtimes with the Aletyx Enterprise Runtime. Your code remains untouched.

Regression testing

We test your workloads to guarantee they execute with the exact same deterministic behavior.

The v10.x upgrade trap

The standard upgrade path to 10.x will force a total rewrite

Any move to the modern stack via Community or IBM will require you to rebuild your application logic and your runtime infrastructure.

Drools 10.x breaks BPMN orchestration

Community Drools broke BPMN-based rule flows. If you use startProcess or .rf files to sequence your rules, a direct upgrade will break your code and force an architectural redesign.

KIE Server has been abandoned

The community replaced KIE Server with Kogito, which uses different APIs and execution semantics. There is no upgrade path — only a requirement to rewrite your integration code and replace your runtimes.

The zero-rewrite solution

Aletyx fixes your technical debt, without creating migration debt.

Swap your runtime, not your code. Aletyx offers the only modernized runtime that's fully compatible with your v7 assets and clears these critical CVEs, the moment you deploy.

Drop-in replacement for Drools v7 and v8

Orchestrate rules 30x faster, without a rewrite

Any move from Drools v7 or v8 to Community Drools 10.x will break your rules and orchestration.

Aletyx restores full compatibility and optimizes the engine to execute your existing flows up to 30x faster than the community alternative—no rewrite required.

Drop-in KIE Server modernization

Modernize your KIE Server to Java 21

The community abandoned KIE Server for Kogito and left you stuck on old tech.

Aletyx re-platformed the KIE server so you can run your existing jBPM workloads on a cloud-native Java 21 and Spring Boot 3 architecture—this instantly secures your stack without changing your integrations.

Predictable agentic AI

Turn your legacy logic into predictable AI workflows

Trust is the biggest challenge for enterprise AI. Aletyx combines the flexibility of GenAI with reliable execution, based on native decisions and workflows that govern your AI and keep it predictable.

Flexible GenAI

Use LLMs to parse documents, summarize messy data and handle complex customer interactions.

Predictable decisions

Use your Drools logic to validate every AI proposal and ensure that business policies are always obeyed.

Reliable workflows

Use KIE Server to coordinate the safe handoff between AI agents, automated rules and human experts.
