# The Enterprise Drools Engine. Modern, Hardened, AI-Ready. Source: https://aletyx.ai/enterprise-drools/ Built by original team members of Drools. Trusted in mission-critical systems worldwide. Modernize Drools, RHDM, and BRMS workloads with restored backward compatibility, active CVE patching, and native AI via MCP. Your rules stay. The risk doesn’t. [Assess My Migration Path](https://aletyx.ai/contact/) [Talk to an Aletyx Architect](https://aletyx.ai/contact/) If it runs on Drools, RHDM, or BRMS, it runs on Aletyx. Based on Apache Drools 10.x with full backward compatibility restored. No rewrite required Backward compatibility Flat-fee pricing ## Your Drools Runtime Is Aging. The Risks Are Not. Community releases are years out of date. IBM BAMOE v8 is approaching end of life. Red Hat exited entirely. And community Drools 10.x introduces breaking changes — a direct upgrade from v7 or v8 will break your existing logic. You cannot afford to stay. You also cannot afford a rewrite. Aletyx gives you a third path. [See how Aletyx preserves your existing workloads](https://aletyx.ai/modernization/) ## The Drools Engine You Trust Hardened for What Comes Next Everything in Apache Drools 10.x, plus what should have been there all along: restored backward compatibility, enterprise hardening, predictable support, and native AI capabilities. Built and maintained by original team members that led Drools at Red Hat and IBM. You replace your runtime. Your rules, orchestration, and behavior stay the same. [Start a guided evaluation](https://aletyx.ai/contact/) ## What the Enterprise Build Delivers [Assess My Migration Path](https://aletyx.ai/contact/) ### Zero-Rewrite Compatibility Full support for existing DRL, DMN, Excel decision tables, and BPMN-based rule orchestration, including restored startProcess(). Your regression tests pass. Your logic stays identical. ### Enterprise Hardening Active CVE monitoring and patching. Signed builds. Controlled dependency baselines. Predictable release cycles, no forced upgrades, no breaking changes. ### Up to 30× Faster Orchestration BPMN-based rules orchestration runs up to 30× faster than community Drools 10.x, without touching your code. ### Native AI via MCP First Drools engine with native Model Context Protocol support. LLMs discover, query, and execute your decisions within governed boundaries. Every interaction is validated and logged. ### Modern Runtime Java 17+ (path to 21). Spring Boot 3 and Quarkus. Kubernetes-ready. Standard CI/CD no proprietary lock-in. ## The Aletyx Platform Scenario Why Aletyx You run Drools, RHDM, or BRMS in production Runtime swap with validation. No rewrite project. You use BPMN-based rules orchestration Community Drools 10 broke it. Aletyx restored and optimized it. You face audit or compliance requirements Versioned, deterministic, reproducible decisions you can prove. You are evaluating AI for core decisions Native MCP lets AI assist while your rules enforce boundaries. Scenario You run Drools, RHDM, or BRMS in production Why Aletyx Runtime swap with validation.

No code changes. ### Swap Replace your Drools runtime with the Enterprise Build. Your rule assets stay untouched. ### Validate Run your existing tests. Confirm identical logic with improved performance and security.

[Get my assessment report](https://aletyx.ai/contact/) 01 Is Aletyx compatible with my existing Drools, RHDM, or BRMS projects? Yes. Backward compatibility with v7 and v8 is restored. Your DRL, DMN, Excel decision tables, and BPMN-based rule orchestration carry forward to the Enterprise Build with no rewrite. Your regression tests pass. Your behavior stays identical. 02 What about startProcess and BPMN rules orchestration? Fully restored. Community Drools 10.x removed startProcess and BPMN-based rule flows. The Enterprise Build brings them back, validated end to end, with performance improvements on top. 03 Does it include everything in Apache Drools 10.x? Yes, and more. The Enterprise Build is a superset. Everything in Apache Drools 10.x, plus restored v7/v8 compatibility, enterprise hardening, native AI via MCP, and predictable release management. 04 What support do I get? Engineer-led support with direct access to the team behind the product. No tiered L1 to L3 bouncing. SLA and coverage scale with your subscription tier — see the pricing page for details. 05 How long does migration typically take? It varies with application size, but an average application can be migrated in about a week. Because backward compatibility is restored, most of the effort goes into validation rather than rewriting your rules. Start with a free 60-day evaluation and we’ll help scope yours in the first call.
