From the team that led Drools and jBPM at Red Hat and IBM

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

Swap your runtime, not your code. A drop-in upgrade for Drools, jBPM, RHPAM, RHDM and BAMOE v8, with CVEs patched and no rewrite required.

No rewrite required
Drop-in upgrade
From $25,000 a year
The risk of standing still

Your rules and processes run on borrowed time.

Community v7 stopped. IBM BAMOE v8 and Red Hat PAM are end of life. A direct upgrade to 10.x breaks your logic. You can’t stay, and you can’t rewrite. Aletyx helps you modernize while preserving your existing workloads.

Community v7 has stopped

The last community v7 release is more than three years old. Your rules run with no security patches and no roadmap.

IBM’s path forces a rewrite

BAMOE v9 drops KIE Server. Moving to it means rewriting for Kogito, with months of migration and regression testing.

Unpatched CVEs fail audits

Legacy stacks keep you on Java 8 and WildFly, with dozens of known High and Critical vulnerabilities your auditors will flag.

Your vendor has moved on

IBM now invests in BAMOE v9 and Kogito. The stack your business runs on gets less attention every year.

One incident can cost more than a year of support.

Log4j showed how far one hidden dependency can reach. Modernizing is how you stop the next one before it strikes.

The drop-in upgrade

Your code stays. The risk goes.

Fix your technical debt without taking on migration debt.

You get 10.x capabilities, current security patches and AI agents, without the cost of a rewrite. Replace your existing runtimes with:

Aletyx Enterprise Build of Drools
Aletyx Enterprise Build of KIE Server

Same APIs, same results

Your rules, processes and integrations run unchanged, and your regression tests still pass.

Patched builds

Active CVE tracking, with fixes that land in a hardened build on a predictable cadence.

The team that led the code

Direct access to the engineers who led Drools and jBPM, with no tiered L1 to L3.

Map it. Swap it. Prove it.

Non-intrusive diagnostics

Our tools map the dependencies and versions in your Drools and KIE repositories.

Runtime swap

We replace outdated runtimes with the Aletyx Enterprise Builds of Drools and KIE Server. Your code remains untouched.

Regression testing

We test your workloads to confirm they return the same results as before.

Drools v7 and v8

Run existing rules orchestration without a rewrite.

Community Drools 10.x dropped BPMN rule flows, so rules sequenced with startProcess or .rf files break on upgrade.

Aletyx restores compatibility so you can run your existing flows without a rewrite.

KIE Server

Your KIE Server, on Java 21 and Spring Boot 4.

The community replaced KIE Server with Kogito, which uses different APIs and execution semantics.

Aletyx rebuilt KIE Server so your existing jBPM workloads run on Java 21 and Spring Boot 4, with the same APIs and integrations.

Ready for AI agents

Your rules, ready for AI agents.

AI agents don’t lack capability. The gap is accountability and explainability. Aletyx Platform lets agents run the rules you already use, with an audit record for each execution.

Flexible AI

Use language models to read documents, summarize messy data and handle customer conversations.

Your rules decide

Agents can call your Drools rules through Aletyx, and your rules return the answer.

Reliable workflows

Aletyx Platform coordinates the handoff between AI agents, your rules, and the people who approve them.

The open source behind it

Drools, jBPM and Kogito: 8M+ downloads every month.

The open-source projects run critical operations in finance, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing and retail. The team that led them now supports yours.

Global finance Fortune 500 institutions.
Manufacturing Major medical device manufacturers.
Retail Global giants across Europe.

Financial services

Mortgage decisions and real-time fraud detection, across millions of transactions at millisecond latency.

Insurance

Complex claims journeys, with an audit record for every approval or rejection.

Healthcare/logistics

Patient journeys and global supply chains, in operations where failure is not an option.

How the paths compare

Only one path preserves your investment without a rewrite.

Start with one workload.

Our engineers help you install, migrate and validate it. Be the team that kept its systems running, dropped the risk, and got ready for AI agents, without a rewrite.

Before you migrate

What architects ask before they modernize.

01What happens with KIE Server, since IBM and Apache do not include it?
Aletyx Enterprise Build of KIE Server is a drop-in replacement that runs on Java 21, Jakarta EE 10, Spring Boot 4, and a modern application server. Your existing architecture, integrations, and behavior remain unchanged.
02How does Aletyx reduce our security and vulnerability exposure?
Aletyx actively tracks and patches vulnerabilities across its builds, unlike community or end-of-life platforms that may have hundreds of unresolved CVEs.
03If I want the latest Apache 10.x capabilities from Drools or Kogito, does Aletyx include them?
Yes. Aletyx Enterprise Build of Drools delivers all the capabilities offered in Drools 10.x while restoring compatibility for v7 and v8 workloads, including restored rules orchestration.
04Do you offer enterprise SLAs and 24 by 7 support?
Yes. You get direct access to core engineers, with enterprise SLAs and around-the-clock availability.
05What happens during the free trial?
Our engineers help you install the Enterprise Builds, migrate a first use case and confirm it returns the same results. The trial is free for 60 days.
