Writing software is cheap. Owning it isn’t.
Archipela is the managed foundation under your product. Agents, automations, access rules, audit trail: built, secured and kept current for you. Your team ships what makes you different.
The bottleneck moved to the foundation.
The foundation is the slow part now
Coding agents ship a differentiated feature in days. A foundation that is secure, scales and keeps up with AI still takes months of senior work.
Everyone builds the same one
Agent runtime, model routing, automations, access rules, notifications, audit logs. The same patterns sit under almost every product.
And it is getting harder to own
AI-driven attacks, stricter EU procurement and a frontier that moves every week. Each one is a full-time job for a team that should be building product.
What you need, not the system behind it.
Agents
not an agent harness
Model routing
not a model gateway
Automations
not an orchestration system
Knowledge
not knowledge base management
Access rules
not an RBAC system
Notifications
not a notification system
Approvals
not a human-in-the-loop system
An audit trail
not an audit log system
Delivered once. Looked after for good.
Kept current after launch
A template is frozen the day you adopt it. We keep every module stable, fast at scale and upgraded, so you never merge upgrades by hand.
A hardened core
Extend modules through defined extension points, by hand or with coding agents. The core stays intact and tested across every deployment.
Your applied research team
New models and patterns are evaluated once, centrally, and offered opt-in with a recommendation for your product. The frontier, without the breakage.
You own your product and its logic. We are responsible for what it is built on.
Start the security review half answered.
Adversarial testing, shared
Attackers need one gap; you have to close all of them. Continuous testing that no single team could afford, shared across every team on Archipela.
Controls built in
Audit trail, access rules and traceability are part of the foundation, not a project before your first enterprise deal.
Evidence you inherit
Much of what NIS2, DORA and the AI Act ask you to show comes with the foundation, instead of being produced by your team.
An EU-only supply chain
Archipela can run entirely on European infrastructure, including EU-hosted models, so you stay eligible where procurement rules out US suppliers.
Three steps, then back to your product.
- 1
Tell us what you are building
Describe your product and where it is heading. We recommend the modules that fit, and leave out the ones that don’t.
- 2
Pick modules and hook them in
Select a module, connect it to your app, choose the standard components you want. You or your coding agent are running in an afternoon.
- 3
Build what makes you different
We secure, upgrade and extend the foundation. New AI patterns reach you opt-in, with a recommendation.
Not a template. Not a consultancy.
A foundation with the service built in.
| Option | Gets you | Leaves you with |
|---|---|---|
| Starter kits | A head start on auth, billing and roles. | A codebase frozen the day you buy it. Upgrades and security patches are yours. |
| A tool per pattern | Best-of-breed for one job: auth, notifications, observability. | A vendor, contract and security review per module, mostly US-hosted, and the glue between them. |
| Prompt-to-app builders | A working app in hours. | Strong at building, weak at upkeep. Made for apps built in their tool, not your codebase. |
| AI lab and cloud agent platforms | A managed agent runtime. | No access rules, notifications or audit trail. Tied to one vendor. |
| IT consultancies | A team to build it for you. | A bill that scales with hours, and a bespoke build only you depend on. |
| Building it in-house | Full control, and agents to write the code. | Months of senior time. Agents write the code, but nobody owns upkeep or security. |
| Archipela | The common foundation as modules, built to be extended. | Your product. We keep what is underneath secure and current. |
From the first commit to the first security review.
The founder who wants to build it right
You are prototyping fast, but you don’t want to throw it all away when the first real customers arrive. Start on foundations that scale.
The founding engineer or CTO
You can build it properly, or you can build it fast. You want to spend your time on the product, not on queues and permission models.
The team feeling the gaps
Customers want features that need platform underneath, and their security reviews want evidence. Add the module you need and keep shipping.
What CTOs ask first.
Why not just Claude Code and a good template?
Coding agents make a foundation cheap to write, not to own. A template is frozen the day you adopt it, and someone still has to patch, upgrade and defend it. Archipela does that, and your coding agents build on top.
Is Archipela hosting?
No. It is the application layer: the modules your product is built from. You own your product and its domain logic; we are responsible for what it is built on.
Where does my data live?
In Europe. When your customers require it, Archipela can run entirely on European infrastructure, including EU-hosted models.
Do we have to take every new model and pattern?
No. New patterns are opt-in, with a recommendation for your product. What works stays stable until you choose to move.
Will my first senior engineer want to replace it?
The interfaces are stable, the core does the boring parts well, and the extension points are documented. Senior engineers get to work on the product instead of rebuilding the same foundations again.
Do I have to adopt everything at once?
No. Start with the one module that is most urgent and add more as you grow.
