Introduction to Cyoda
Introduction to Cyoda
Section titled âIntroduction to CyodaâWelcome to the Cyoda Platform, a revolutionary approach to building modern, intelligent applications through entity-driven architecture and event-based workflows.
What is Cyoda?
Section titled âWhat is Cyoda?âCyoda is a cloud-native platform that fundamentally reimagines how applications are built and operated. At its core, Cyoda implements an Entity Database Management System (EDBMS) that tightly couples data with the business logic that governs its evolution.
Key Principles
Section titled âKey PrinciplesâEntity-Centric Design Every piece of data in Cyoda is modeled as an entity with a well-defined lifecycle, state transitions, and business rules. This approach mirrors how businesses naturally think about their operations.
Event-Driven Architecture All changes in the system are driven by events, creating a fully traceable and auditable system where every state transition is recorded and can be replayed.
AI-Native Platform Cyodaâs structured, declarative approach makes it uniquely suited for AI-assisted development, where AI systems can understand, generate, and modify business logic effectively.
Why Choose Cyoda?
Section titled âWhy Choose Cyoda?âFor Developers
Section titled âFor Developersâ- Simplified Architecture: Focus on business logic instead of infrastructure plumbing
- Built-in Observability: Every entity change is automatically tracked and auditable
- AI-Assisted Development: Leverage AI to generate services, validate models, and implement logic
- Rapid Prototyping: Declarative models enable fast iteration and experimentation
For Businesses
Section titled âFor Businessesâ- Regulatory Compliance: Built-in audit trails and time-travel capabilities
- Operational Transparency: Real-time visibility into business processes
- Scalable Foundation: Cloud-native architecture that grows with your needs
- Future-Proof: AI-ready platform that evolves with technological advances
Core Concepts
Section titled âCore ConceptsâEntities
Section titled âEntitiesâIndependent units of business information with well-defined lifecycles. Examples include users, orders, applications, or any domain object relevant to your business.
States and Transitions
Section titled âStates and TransitionsâEntities move through defined states via transitions triggered by events. This creates predictable, governable workflows that mirror real-world business processes.
Workflows
Section titled âWorkflowsâFinite state machines that define the allowed transitions for entity types, capturing business rules and lifecycle management in a declarative format.
Events and Processors
Section titled âEvents and ProcessorsâEvents trigger state transitions, while processors execute the business logic associated with those transitions, enabling both synchronous and asynchronous processing patterns.
