What Foliage.dev does

Foliage.dev is an open-source infrastructure control platform that uses a distributed graph database combined with a functional graph paradigm to unify, model, and orchestrate diverse IT systems. Vertices in the graph act as data storage while edges define connectivity and signal paths; functions can be invoked on objects in response to asynchronous events traversing the graph. Core technical components include a persistent distributed event bus with exactly-once processing, a serverless stateful function runtime, persistent function context storage, an XPath-like Graph Query Language, edge runtime support on controllers such as BMC, PLC, and RPi, a no-code Web UI toolkit, and weighted signal propagation for scalar, vector, and tensor payloads used in ML workloads. Reported performance is up to 400,000 function calls per second on a mid-powered server with near-linear scalability via clusterization.

The platform is distributed as an Apache 2.0 licensed SDK on GitHub under self-serve, community-led go-to-market, with the company participating in events such as CfgMgmtCamp Ghent and FOSDEM for developer outreach. Foliage's stated target segments are IT infrastructure teams (CMDB, control planes), AIOps and automation teams (digital twins, distributed ML inference), and edge computing / IoT deployments (edge fleet control). Co-founder Pavel Lavrenko is the publicly visible principal, and the company holds memberships in NVIDIA Inception, Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, and AWS Startup Programs.

The revenue model is not publicly disclosed; the SDK is open source, and pricing details are not published on the company website. No select customers, no enterprise logos, no funding rounds, and no revenue figures are reported in available sources. The business appears to be in a pre-commercial or early traction phase, with growth being driven through developer community and open-source distribution rather than a disclosed sales-led or subscription onboarding motion.

Core offering

Foliage provides a distributed infrastructure control platform that combines a graph database with a functional graph model. Vertices store data and edges define connectivity, while asynchronous stateful functions fire on signals traversing the graph. The platform delivers a unified, extensible model for orchestrating and observing diverse IT systems across centralized and edge environments.

Product overview

Foliage is a unified infrastructure control platform built as the foundational layer for AI-powered automation. The core platform combines a distributed graph database with a functional graph model, where graph vertices serve as data storage and edges define connectivity. The architecture includes a distributed event bus for asynchronous signal processing, a distributed async runtime for serverless stateful functions, persistent storage for function contexts, and an XPath-like Graph Query Language for graph traversal and signal distribution. The platform supports edge runtime deployment on controllers (BMC, PLC, RPi), Web UI templating for no-code graph observation, and weighted signal propagation for ML workloads.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Neo4j: Market-leading property graph database that competes head-on with Foliage's graph database foundation for CMDB, knowledge graph, and IT infrastructure modeling use cases.
• TigerGraph: Enterprise graph database platform focused on real-time analytics and large-scale topology workloads, directly comparable to Foliage's high-performance graph + function execution positioning.
• ArangoDB: Multi-model database supporting graph, document, and key-value models; competes with Foliage in the unified-data-model infrastructure control-plane category.
• Memgraph: In-memory graph database with streaming and trigger capabilities, comparable to Foliage's emphasis on real-time signal propagation over graph edges.
• Stardog: Enterprise knowledge graph platform unifying data and metadata, directly aligned with Foliage's "information & metainfo in one" graph model for infrastructure observability.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Neptune: Managed graph database service from AWS targeting IT infrastructure, identity, and knowledge-graph workloads; a broader hyperscaler offering that overlaps with Foliage's control-plane use cases.
• Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB: Globally distributed multi-model database with Gremlin API for graph workloads; competes broadly in the enterprise infrastructure data layer where Foliage also plays.

Emerging players

• SurrealDB: Emerging multi-model database combining document, graph, and relational features; shares Foliage's goal of a unified, extensible data model for modern applications.
• Fauna: Distributed serverless database with document and graph capabilities; comparable to Foliage in combining distributed runtime, serverless functions, and graph-like data access.

Others

• Apache TinkerPop: Apache graph compute framework widely used as a graph abstraction layer; an adjacent/open-source enabling technology in the same graph-processing ecosystem as Foliage's graph query runtime.
