The Open Source Foundation for
Modern Business Software

A protocol-first architecture that virtualizes data across Postgres, Redis, Excel, and beyond. Define your business logic once as metadata. Deploy anywhere. No vendor lock-in. No framework fatigue. Built for technical teams who demand asset longevity and data sovereignty.

The Trinity Architecture

Open Source Core: Three protocol layers that virtualize data, unify business logic, and future-proof your interfaces. Think of it as the LAMP stack for the post-SaaS era.

The Engine

ObjectQL

The Metadata-Driven Data Engine. The Universal Protocol for data access. Abstracts storage across Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, Excel—even legacy proprietary systems. Write your business logic once, run it anywhere. No lock-in. No migration scripts. Just universal data drivers. If HTTP is the protocol for web pages, ObjectQL is the protocol for business data.

The Platform

ObjectOS

The Low-Code Application Platform. The Business Kernel that orchestrates everything. Enterprise-grade RBAC, workflow engines, and audit trails built-in. Like Linux manages hardware resources, ObjectOS manages business resources: identity, permissions, data sync, and workflows. Deploy locally or as SaaS—same codebase, different scale.

The Components

ObjectUI

The Enterprise Interface Kit. The Projection Engine for protocol-driven interfaces. JSON schemas render to React + Tailwind components across platforms. UI frameworks die every 3 years. Protocols last decades. Your interface definitions are your asset, not your framework choice. HTTP is 33 years old. React is 10. Bet on protocols.

Strategic Advantages for Engineering Leaders

Translate technical features into business value: eliminate technical debt, reduce vendor lock-in, achieve data sovereignty. These are not just features—they're strategic outcomes.

Data Sovereignty & Shadow IT Governance

Deploy on-premise, at the edge, or in your cloud. Local-first architecture means zero SaaS dependencies for core operations. Achieve compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2) and zero-latency operations. Mount your marketing team's Excel sheets alongside production databases with unified permissions. Govern shadow IT without disrupting business.

Infinite Extensibility & Zero Lock-in

The Universal Driver System acts as a universal adapter. Write business logic once in ObjectQL, run it on Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, Excel—or your legacy Oracle system. When your DBA vendor raises prices 40% at renewal, migrate freely. If you have a proprietary legacy system, write a Driver (not a migration script). Keep negotiating leverage with your infrastructure vendors.

Asset Longevity Through Open Protocols

UI frameworks die every 3 years. Protocols last decades. Your schema is your IP asset, not your implementation. HTTP is 33 years old. React is 10. Angular lasted 5 years before Angular 2 broke everything. Invest in protocols, not framework churn. Decouple your business value from implementation details.

Reduced Production Incidents & Maintenance Costs

Type-safe schemas catch integration errors at build time, not 3 AM production outages. Reduce engineering hours spent on runtime failures and firefighting. Auto-generated TypeScript types with full IDE support mean junior engineers can't accidentally break schema contracts. Lower operational costs, higher team velocity.

Enterprise Governance from Day One

RBAC, audit trails, and compliance aren't afterthoughts—they're architectural foundations. Scale from prototype to regulated production without rewrites. Field-level permissions protect PII. Complete audit history satisfies SOX/HIPAA audits. Start small, scale confident. No architectural rewrites when you hit enterprise requirements.

AI-Ready Architecture for LLM-Assisted Development

Unambiguous protocols enable AI-assisted development at scale. LLMs generate valid, executable code because standards are explicit and machine-readable. Accelerate development velocity 3-5x with AI tooling that understands your protocols. Junior developers become productive faster when the rules are declarative, not tribal knowledge.

Protocols Last Decades. Frameworks Die Every 3 Years.

Your business logic should outlive your framework choices. Invest in protocols, not implementation churn.

💡 ObjectStack is built on protocols. Your schemas, business logic, and interface definitions are protocol-based assets—not locked into today's hot framework. When React is replaced by the next thing, your ObjectStack applications keep running.

Protocol-Driven Architecture in Action

From universal data protocols to unified governance to interface longevity—the complete composable stack.

From Protocol to Production

Protocol Definition

Control Processing

ObjectOS Execution

Rendered Application

Define: Universal Data Protocol

ObjectQL protocols translate to any SQL database, Redis, MongoDB, or Excel. One definition deploys everywhere. Your core IP is preserved independent of infrastructure choices. Write a Driver, not a migration script.

Next Layer

# users.objectql.yml
entity:
  name: User
  fields:
    - name: email
      type: text
      required: true
    - name: role
      type: enum
      options: [admin, user]
  
# Deploys to: Postgres, Redis,
# MongoDB, Excel, or any Driver

Execute: The Business Kernel

ObjectOS provides unified governance runtime. Single control plane for identity, permissions, and audit logs. Deploy locally or as multi-tenant SaaS—same codebase, different scale.

Next Layer

// Auto-generated secure APIs
POST /api/users
GET  /api/users/:id
PUT  /api/users/:id
DELETE /api/users/:id

// Enterprise features included:
// ✓ Role-based access control
// ✓ Tenant isolation
// ✓ Audit trails for compliance

Render: Protocol-Driven Interfaces

JSON-driven UI definitions outlive framework lifecycles. When today's frontend framework is deprecated, your interface protocols remain. Decouple your UX investment from framework churn. Protocols last decades.

// Protocol-defined interface
{
  "type": "form",
  "schema": "users",
  "fields": ["email", "role"]
}

// Renders with current framework
// ✓ Validated inputs
// ✓ Responsive layout
// ✓ Accessible by default

From Prototype to Mission-Critical Systems

Architecture that scales with your organization—from rapid prototyping to regulated production environments. Real enterprise use cases, not toy demo apps.

Rapid Internal Tools & Local-First Applications

Build inventory management systems, analytics dashboards, or admin panels with zero infrastructure setup. SQLite-backed local applications with full enterprise RBAC features. Prototype ERP modules or CRM extensions without cloud costs or vendor commitments. Perfect for internal tools that don't need internet connectivity.

Zero infrastructure overhead

Heterogeneous Data Unification & Shadow IT Governance

The killer use case for large enterprises: Don't force migration. Mount your marketing team's Excel budget sheets alongside your Oracle ERP, SQL Server CRM, and PostgreSQL analytics warehouse. Query them all via a single unified API with enterprise RBAC. Govern shadow IT without disrupting business operations. Eliminate data silos without ETL pipelines.

Connect existing systems, don't migrate

SaaS Platform Foundation with Multi-Tenancy

Multi-tenant architecture, RBAC, and audit logs from day one. Scale from 10 to 10,000 customers without architectural rewrites. Launch vertical SaaS for healthcare, legal, or fintech without building identity infrastructure. Focus on domain differentiation, not infrastructure plumbing. Compliance-ready for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR from launch.

Built-in multi-tenancy & enterprise governance

Platform Engineering & Open-Core SaaS Products

Build vendor-neutral platforms on open protocols for your customers. ObjectStack provides the foundation (data virtualization, identity, workflows)—you provide differentiated vertical experiences. Avoid proprietary lock-in for your customers while maintaining control. Offer on-premise deployments alongside your SaaS. The Retool/Appsmith alternative with protocol longevity.

Questions from Decision Makers

Strategic and technical considerations for CTOs and engineering leaders.

Three cost reductions: (1) Eliminate framework rewrite cycles—protocols last decades, frameworks last 3-5 years. (2) Reduce database vendor lock-in leverage—migrate freely when contract renewals arrive. (3) Lower maintenance overhead with type-safe protocols that catch errors at build time, not production.

Incremental adoption. ObjectStack sits as an abstraction layer over your current databases. Start with new features or admin interfaces, leaving legacy code untouched. As you gain confidence, migrate modules progressively. No big-bang rewrites required.

ObjectOS includes audit logging out of the box—every data access, modification, and deletion is tracked with user identity and timestamp. Field-level permissions ensure PII and sensitive data are protected at the schema level. Deploy on-premise for jurisdictions requiring data residency.

Yes. Local-first architecture means your applications work without internet connectivity. Deploy on field devices, manufacturing floors, or secure facilities. Sync data when connectivity is available—full offline capability.

ObjectQL generates native SQL for each database vendor—it's a translation layer, not an ORM. Performance is comparable to hand-written SQL. For complex queries requiring vendor-specific optimizations, you can drop down to raw SQL when needed while maintaining protocol-driven architecture for standard operations.

ObjectOS is built on NestJS (Node.js), and Object UI renders React components. If your team uses these stacks, integration is seamless. For other languages, ObjectQL protocols can be implemented in any backend language—the schema definitions are database-agnostic JSON/YAML.

Launch (March 2026) includes RBAC and audit logs. Post-launch roadmap includes SSO/SAML integrations, advanced workflow orchestration, and SOC 2 compliance certification. Enterprise customers get input on prioritization. Join the waitlist to discuss your specific requirements.

Protocols are human-readable JSON/YAML—no proprietary DSLs. TypeScript types are auto-generated, providing full IDE support. We're planning open-source core components so you're never dependent on a single vendor. Your team owns the protocols, which are technology-agnostic.
