FAQ
Common questions.
What is Scalytics Lascaris?
Scalytics Lascaris is the cloud-native, Kubernetes-first operating system for AI agents. It integrates kafScale, kafGraph, kafClaw, and Apache Wayang into a single enterprise distribution. Agents subscribe to your live event streams, reason over shared memory, and act across your systems with every decision written to an immutable audit record on S3. The core engine is Apache-2.0, co-created by the team around Apache Wayang.
Can I run Scalytics Lascaris on Kubernetes across AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM Cloud, Oracle, or air-gapped?
Yes. Scalytics Lascaris is containerized and cloud-native, engineered to run on any Kubernetes cluster (EKS, AKS, GKE, IKS, OKE, Red Hat OpenShift, or bare-metal K8s) wherever your data resides: inside AWS, Azure, Google Cloud (GCP), IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), your on-premise data center, or fully air-gapped environments. As an official IBM Architecture & Implementation Partner, we also offer fully managed deployments on IBM Cloud with certified DORA, NIS2, and GDPR compliance.
Do I have to replace my existing Kafka, Confluent, or Redpanda cluster?
No. Scalytics Lascaris is wire-compatible and integrates seamless into your existing Kafka, Confluent, or Redpanda infrastructure with zero rip-and-replace. Our S3-native engine ships included for a single-command Kubernetes deployment.
How is Scalytics Lascaris different from an AI agent framework?
Frameworks (like LangChain or AutoGen) help developers write agents. Scalytics Lascaris is the Kubernetes-native operating system those agents run on in production: durable event transport, shared memory graphs, tool policy enforcement, and an immutable decision record. You keep your framework and run it on Lascaris.
How are autonomous AI decisions kept auditable and compliant?
Scalytics Lascaris persists every agent message, tool call, and decision as an immutable event in S3. This creates a cryptographically secure, verifiable audit trail of what each agent did, when it acted, and the exact state that informed the decision and it's built for regulated environments, DORA, and NIS2 compliance.
What is the "storage tax", and how does Scalytics Lascaris cut egress by 90%?
Traditional Kafka ties storage to expensive broker disks, making long-term AI agent memory cost-prohibitive, while cloud providers charge massive egress fees to move streaming data into central lakes. Scalytics Lascaris leverages kafScale for S3 object storage with stateless brokers running on Kubernetes, giving your agents infinite memory and zero data-movement bloat.
Is Scalytics Lascaris open source?
Yes. The core components (kafScale, kafGraph, kafClaw, Apache Wayang) are Apache-2.0 and free to deploy via our open source space on GitHub. Scalytics Lascaris Enterprise is our supported distribution: version-locked, hardened, operator-managed for Kubernetes, and maintained under one commercial contract.
Who is Scalytics Lascaris for?
Scalytics Lascaris is for enterprise engineering teams in defense, energy, finance, and critical infrastructure where autonomous agents must act on live data with zero context loss, Kubernetes elasticity, and strict auditability. It is not built for lightweight chatbots or basic SaaS copilots.
