Your rules run unchanged
Full support for existing DRL, DMN, Excel decision tables, and BPMN-based rule orchestration, including restored startProcess(). Your regression tests pass. Your logic stays identical.
From the team that led Drools at Red Hat and IBM
Your rules, preserved. Modernize without a rewrite.
A drop-in upgrade for Drools, RHDM and BRMS: v7 and v8 compatibility restored, CVEs patched, and AI agents that follow your rules over MCP. No rewrite required.
If it runs on Drools, RHDM, or BRMS, it runs on Aletyx. Based on Apache Drools 10.x with full backward compatibility restored.
No rewrite required
Backward compatibility
From $25,000 a year
Our critical decisioning now runs on Aletyx within Plaisse, enabling us to continue modernizing our legacy Drools/BRMS infrastructure in weeks, without business disruption, and providing a scalable, AI-enabled foundation for our future decisioning capabilities.
Your Drools runtime is aging. The risks are not.
Community v7 stopped. IBM BAMOE v8 is end of life. Red Hat exited. A direct upgrade to Drools 10.x breaks your logic. You can’t stay, and you can’t rewrite. Aletyx helps you modernize while preserving your existing workloads.
The Drools you trust, ready for AI agents.
Everything in Apache Drools 10.x, plus what should have been there all along: restored backward compatibility, enterprise hardening, predictable support, and AI agents that follow your rules. Built and maintained by the team that led Drools at Red Hat and IBM. You replace the runtime. Your rules, orchestration, and behavior stay the same.
What changes, and what doesn’t.
CVE patches and remediation guidance
Active CVE monitoring and patching. Signed builds. Controlled dependency baselines. Predictable release cycles, no forced upgrades, no breaking changes.
BPMN rules orchestration
Run existing BPMN-based rules orchestration with restored compatibility.
AI agents follow your rules over MCP
First Drools engine with native MCP support. AI agents discover and execute your rules within the limits you set. Every call leaves an audit record.
Java 21, Spring Boot 4, Quarkus
Java 21 runtime. Spring Boot 4 and Quarkus. Kubernetes-ready. Standard CI/CD, no proprietary lock-in.

Scenario
Why Aletyx
You run Drools, RHDM, or BRMS in production
Runtime swap with validation. No rewrite project.
You use BPMN-based rules orchestration
Community Drools 10 broke it. Aletyx restored and optimized it.
You face audit or compliance requirements
Versioned, reproducible answers with an audit record.
You need AI agents in core business
Over MCP, agents act within the rules you approved.

Migration in three steps. No rewrite.
Most teams see their first successful execution in under 15 minutes.
Diagnose
Our tools analyze your repositories to map dependencies and versions. No code changes.
Swap
Replace your Drools runtime with the Enterprise Build. Your rule assets stay untouched.
Validate
Run your existing tests. Confirm identical logic with improved performance and security.
Before you migrate
What architects ask before they migrate.
01Is Aletyx compatible with my existing Drools, RHDM, or BRMS projects?
Yes. Backward compatibility with v7 and v8 is restored. Your DRL, DMN, Excel decision tables, and BPMN-based rule orchestration carry forward to the Enterprise Build with no rewrite. Your regression tests pass. Your behavior stays identical.
02What about startProcess and BPMN rules orchestration?
Fully restored. Community Drools 10.x removed startProcess and BPMN-based rule flows. The Enterprise Build brings them back, validated end to end, with performance improvements on top.
03Does it include everything in Apache Drools 10.x?
Yes, and more. The Enterprise Build is a superset. Everything in Apache Drools 10.x, plus restored v7/v8 compatibility, enterprise hardening, native AI via MCP, and predictable release management.
04What support do I get?
Engineer-led support with direct access to the team behind the product. No tiered L1 to L3 bouncing. SLA and coverage scale with your edition. See the pricing page for details.
05How long does migration typically take?
It varies with application size, but an average application can be migrated in about a week. Because backward compatibility is restored, most of the effort goes into validation rather than rewriting your rules. Start with a free 60-day trial and we’ll help scope yours in the first call.
