Open Core Boundary

Agentwerke is open core. The core platform is Apache-2.0 and self-hostable. A separately licensed commercial tier adds enterprise governance, scale, and operations features.

Open source core

The open-source distribution is intended to run a governed AI software-delivery workflow end to end on your own infrastructure.

It includes:

• BPMN-native workflow engine.
• Postgres-backed durable checkpoints.
• Agent orchestration.
• Policy-enforced Tool Gateway.
• Hook Gateway.
• Skill repository and prompt assembler.
• Docker-sandboxed agent execution.
• GitHub connector for issues, branches, pull requests, and reviews.
• CI/CD trigger support.
• Approval gates.
• Evidence-pack export.
• Artifact storage.
• Audit log.
• Web UI for workflow design, runs, run detail, and approvals.
• Tokenless mock model provider for demos and CI.

Commercial tier

Commercial capabilities are layered on top:

• Enterprise SSO/OIDC and fine-grained RBAC.
• Multi-tenant control plane and managed/hosted offering.
• Advanced policy and compliance packs.
• Long-horizon evidence and audit retention.
• Horizontal worker scaling and queue-based dispatch at scale.
• Priority support and SLAs.

Principles

• Open-source features should not move behind the commercial tier.
• Self-hosting remains first-class.
• Contributions to the open core are welcome under Apache-2.0.

Documentation convention

Manual pages should label commercial-only features in context. Do not make an open-source operator discover a feature boundary only after following setup instructions.
