The problem
- Monoliths slow down change; rewrites are expensive and risky.
- Teams either build everything from scratch or accept rigid platforms with lock-in.
- Modern app teams need modularity, governance, observability, and clean extension points.
What it is
- A composable platform with a stable core and an extension-first philosophy.
- A foundation for building business apps as modules, not as tangled subsystems.
- An approach that favors incremental modernization over big-bang rewrites.
Open source
- Core platform fundamentals
- Extension framework and reference patterns
- Community-led adaptability and transparency
Commercial
- Enterprise deployment patterns and governance
- Advanced observability and compliance layers
- Support, hardening, and production-grade add-ons
Principles
Composition over monolithStable core, evolvable edgesEnterprise-grade governance without suffocating buildersOperational clarity: observe, control, scale
Platform Evolution (Indicative)
CBAP is a platform: the long-term edge is composability and governance. Public roadmap stays high-level by design.
