Scalytics

What Scalytics does

Scalytics is a privately held Malta-headquartered company that provides a Kafka-native sovereign AI agent operating system for organizations in defense, energy, finance, and critical infrastructure. Founded by the original inventors of Apache Wayang, the company positions its platform as a way to deploy autonomous AI agents inside the customer's own infrastructure — on-premise, air-gapped, or in sovereign clouds — so that reasoning and operational data never leave the operator's network. The company is led by CEO Dr. Mirko Kämpf (ex-Cloudera, Confluent, ecolytiq) and CTO Alexander Alten, and operates a transatlantic footprint with a US office in Miami, Florida.

The core product portfolio is an Apache-2.0 open-core stack: KafScale (S3-native, Kafka-protocol-compatible streaming platform with stateless brokers), KafGraph (distributed transactional knowledge graph backed by BadgerDB exposing brain_search/brain_recall/brain_capture tool calls), KafClaw (event-driven agent runtime and policy mesh using typed JSON envelopes), KafSIEM (security and link-analysis layer producing auditable graphs with full provenance), KafShield (point-in-time resilience for event streams), and Apache Wayang (federated execution framework that pushes computation to where data lives). These are packaged as Scalytics Lascaris, a supported enterprise distribution. Additional modules include GitClaw (Gitea extension for machine identities), Scalytics Copilot (proprietary AI governance gateway routing across self-hosted and external models), and Scalytics Helios (compute-follows-megawatt placement). The architecture is wire-compatible with existing Confluent, Redpanda, and Apache Kafka clusters, avoiding rip-and-replace.

Scalytics monetizes through a freemium open-core model: free Apache-2.0 Community Edition for adoption, quote-based annual subscriptions for the Lascaris supported distribution, multi-week professional-services AI Strategy Audits, and paid Kafka enablement training. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting regulated industries, supported by an ISV/MSP partner program, content marketing, and a self-service AI Readiness Check tool that funnels prospects into a 90-day implementation roadmap. Named enterprise customers include a large European travel agency (GDPR/AI Act deployment across multiple countries), a FinTech Asia customer that moved from demo to proof of concept in two days, and Gartner Digital Markets (research evaluation). The platform is positioned for compliance with GDPR, the EU AI Act, DORA, and NIS2 through immutable event-sourced audit trails.

Core offering

Scalytics builds a sovereign, Kafka-native AI agent operating system (the "Decision Fabric") that lets enterprises run autonomous agents on top of their existing Confluent, Redpanda, or Apache Kafka infrastructure without sending operational data off-network. Its core components are KafScale (S3-native Kafka-compatible streaming), KafClaw (agent runtime), KafGraph (shared memory knowledge graph), KafSIEM (security/link-analysis), and KafShield (resilience), bundled into the supported Scalytics Lascaris distribution and supplemented by Apache Wayang federated execution, GitClaw, Scalytics Copilot, and Scalytics Helios.

Product overview

Scalytics is a sovereign AI agent platform built on a Kafka-native, open-core architecture. The core product portfolio consists of KafScale (S3-native Kafka-compatible streaming spine), KafGraph (transactional shared-memory knowledge graph), KafClaw (agent runtime and orchestration), kafSIEM (security and link-analysis layer), and kafSHIELD (point-in-time resilience). These are delivered alongside the Apache Top-Level Project Apache Wayang (federated execution optimizer) which enables computation to run where data lives, minimizing data movement. Scalytics Lascaris is the integrated, supported distribution that packages the full stack (KafScale, KafGraph, KafClaw, KafSIEM, Wayang) into a production-grade platform for sovereign, air-gapped, and regulated deployments. Additional modules include GitClaw (MIT-licensed machine-first Git), Scalytics Copilot (proprietary AI governance gateway), and Scalytics Helios (compute-follows-power optimization). The architecture is Apache-2.0 open core, extending Confluent, Redpanda, and Apache Kafka without replacement.

Products and services

• KafScale S3-native, Kafka-protocol compatible streaming platform with stateless brokers that write immutable log segments directly to object storage. Decouples compute from storage, removes practical retention limits, and remains wire-compatible with existing Kafka clients and Confluent tools. Targeted at enterprises that need long-term retention of agent reasoning and event history without broker complexity.
• KafClaw Lightweight Go-based agent runtime and orchestration layer built on Apache Kafka. Coordinates heterogeneous agents written in any language capable of producing and consuming Kafka messages, using typed JSON envelopes with correlation IDs, trace context, and dedicated channels for memory, requests, responses, and audit records. Designed for enterprises running autonomous AI agents across policy, reasoning, and operational tasks.
• KafGraph Distributed, transactional knowledge graph backed by embedded or clustered BadgerDB that provides shared memory for multi-agent systems. Exposes seven JSON-schema tool calls (brain_search, brain_recall, brain_capture, brain_update, and others) accessible over HTTP or via KafClaw, and supports OpenCypher queries and Bolt v4 protocol. Positioned as infinite memory for AI agents.
• KafSIEM Security intelligence and link-analysis layer that ingests detector alerts, agent decisions, and operational events from the Kafka stream to construct auditable entity graphs with full provenance for every relationship. Operates with embedded SQLite or scales to larger deployments and outputs RFC 7946 GeoJSON for spatial analysis. Targeted at defense and critical infrastructure incident response.
• KafShield Immutable point-in-time resilience component that provides recovery of full event history from S3-backed storage. Replaces traditional backup mechanisms with durable log segments stored as the authoritative source in object storage. Designed for regulated industries that require NIS2-aligned resilience and operational continuity.
• Apache Wayang Federated execution framework (Apache Top-Level Project) that allows computation to run where data lives, dramatically reducing unnecessary data movement. Its cost-based optimizer maps platform-agnostic plans onto heterogeneous engines including Kafka, PostgreSQL, Spark, Flink, and Iceberg. Positioned by Scalytics as the compute layer that reduces cloud egress costs by more than 90%.
• Scalytics Lascaris Integrated, tested, supported enterprise distribution that packages the Scalytics stack (KafScale, KafGraph, KafClaw, KafSIEM, Apache Wayang) into one version-locked, hardened release for high-stakes environments. Designed for defense, energy, critical infrastructure, and regulated industries requiring autonomous operations within their own infrastructure boundary, with on-premise, air-gapped, and sovereign cloud deployment options. Sold under annual subscription with quote-based pricing.
• GitClaw Agent-first Git service extending Gitea with machine identity support for autonomous agents. Provides automatic token rotation, programmatic enrollment via POST /api/v1/agents/enroll, CIDR allowlists for network access control, and repository access based on declared agent capabilities. Eliminates manual credential lifecycle management for large fleets of AI agents.
