About NexusFabric

NexusFabric is an Enterprise Integration Kernel: an integration platform for HTTP, SOAP and gRPC. Integrations are written as flows, in Markdown files. You install it on infrastructure you control.

For systems that were never built to work together

An organisation’s work crosses systems built in different years, by different vendors. One speaks SOAP and is ten years old, another is a recent HTTP API, a third speaks gRPC. Something has to sit between them, take a message from one, reshape it and deliver it to another: the job the industry gives to an ESB, an enterprise service bus.

NexusFabric does that job. A message can arrive over HTTP (SOAP included), over gRPC, from a queue or on a schedule, and all four ways in go through the same delivery code: deduplication and correlation are decided in one place, not rewritten for each one.

The integration is a file you can read

A flow is a Markdown file: a header, a free description, and one or more steps, each under its own heading. Being plain text, it goes through version control and code review like any other file. Transforms are compiled when the flow is published, and an XSLT outside the supported subset is refused there, not run some other way.

An accepted message survives a crash

The queue has its own write-ahead log: an accepted message survives a crash, and a scheduled retry survives a restart. What the journal counts is the delivery, and its outcome (succeeded, handled by the flow’s fault sequence, or failed) is kept in a column of its own that you can filter on.

It runs on infrastructure you control

You install NexusFabric on your own infrastructure. An installation comes up knowing only the operations manual, and the first flow runs with the gate closed. By default, a caller without a credential is refused before its message is read. Under the licence (art. 8.3), the product sends its licensor no usage data, telemetry or message content.

For the integrator, the operator and support

The integrator writes the flows, the operator keeps the installation running, and support answers when someone asks where a request went. In the management UI each of them works under a role, and the boundary between roles is enforced on every route.
