Velaris: One Self-Hosted Platform to Replace Your Entire Ops Stack
We built Velaris because modern engineering and operations teams are duct-taping
together 6โ8 separate tools โ a workflow engine here, a project tracker there,
an observability stack, a CI/CD pipeline, an AI assistant, a customer portal โ
each with its own pricing, its own auth, its own data silo.
Velaris replaces all of it. One platform. Your infrastructure. Full control.

What it is
A unified, self-hosted operational intelligence platform that brings together
workflow orchestration, project management, observability, DevOps operations,
system administration, and AI-driven automation into a single extensible
ecosystem โ fully controlled by your own infrastructure.
Not a SaaS. Not a collection of microservices you stitch together yourself.
A cohesive platform that ships production-ready on a single Ubuntu box.

No separate Jira instance. No sync overhead. Same auth, same data.
AI Automation โ HxNexus
Runs on local Ollama โ your data never leaves the server.
Natural language case queries, AI-assisted routing (Scout AI),
step suggestions, NLP prompt builder, and AI chat on the customer portal.
Optionally backed by Anthropic Claude for higher-capability tasks.
Observability โ HxStream + HxAnalytics
Real-time event streaming across every case, user, and connector.

Full DML before-image logging. Tamper-proof audit log with 7-year retention.
Health dashboard, structured logs, and metrics out of the box.
DevOps โ HxDeploy
CI/CD pipeline for promoting Velaris configuration across environments:
dev > UAT > prod with governance gates and rollback.
HxBranch: Git-like versioning for case types, forms, and connectors.
HxMigrate: AI-assisted migration from legacy systems.
System Administration
Superadmin account with breach detection and auto-disable on suspicious activity.
Route-level permissions per role. Session revocation. Credential rotation.
Internal IP blocking. Security event webhook to Slack, PagerDuty, or SIEM.
HxShield: real-time threat detection and security audit layer.
Knowledge Graph โ HxGraph
Every case type, stage, step, form, field, module, and endpoint is a live node.
Query in natural language, traverse structural + semantic edges, visualise in D3.js.
curl -X POST http://localhost:8200/api/v1/graph/query \
-d '{"question":"which modules depend on auth?"}'
Integrations โ HxConnect
Stripe ยท DocuSign ยท Onfido (KYC) ยท Salesforce ยท Xero ยท Twilio ยท Slack ยท Docling OCR ยท S3/MinIO
All with HMAC webhook validation and AI-assisted connector configuration.
