The Vast Majority of Production Workflows Run on KIE Server. The Community Moved On.
KIE Server was never transferred to Apache. There are no more open-source releases. The last community version is nearly three years old — riddled with unpatched vulnerabilities. IBM BAMOE v8 is end of life. v9 removes KIE Server entirely. Red Hat PAM is end of life. The community's answer — Kogito — is a fundamentally different architecture that requires a complete rewrite of every workflow asset. For the vast majority of production KIE workflow workloads running on KIE Server today, there is no upgrade path. Only a rewrite — or Aletyx.
Moving to Kogito Is Not a Migration. It's a Rewrite.
KIE Server and Kogito are architecturally different systems. Different execution models. Different persistence. Different deployment. Different APIs. Every BPMN asset, every integration, every human task configuration must be revisited.
This is not a version upgrade — it's a multi-quarter, multi-team program with high delivery risk. For enterprises running hundreds of process definitions across critical systems, the cost and risk are prohibitive.
Aletyx understands that you cannot rewrite your core business systems because a new version exists. Continuity is not optional — it's the requirement.
KIE Server — Restored, Modernized, AI-Ready
Aletyx brought KIE Server back. We modernized the runtime from the ground up — modern JVM, modern frameworks, modern application server — while preserving complete behavioral compatibility with your existing workloads.
Built and maintained by original team members that led jBPM and KIE Server at Red Hat.
Your processes, your integrations, your behavior — unchanged. Your stack — modern, secure, and AI-ready.
Modern Stack
Java 21. Jakarta EE 10. Spring Boot 3. EAP 8.x. No more legacy application servers, no more outdated dependencies. A production runtime built for today's enterprise infrastructure.
Native AI Capabilities
The same AI capabilities available in Aletyx Enterprise Build of Kogito — now in KIE Server. MCP-based process triggering. AI Agent node. Direct LLM invocation. Modernize with AI without rewriting a single workflow.
Active Security
CVE monitoring and patching on a predictable cadence. The last community release carries years of unpatched vulnerabilities. Aletyx eliminates that exposure.
Enterprise Hardening
Active CVE monitoring and patching. Signed builds. Controlled dependency baselines. Predictable release cycles, no forced upgrades, no breaking changes.
Bring AI to Your KIE Server. No Rewrite Required.
The industry assumption is that AI requires a platform rewrite. Aletyx rejects that premise. We are bringing the full AI capability stack — the same capabilities shipping in Aletyx Enterprise Build of Kogito directly to KIE Server
MCP Process Triggering
AI agents discover and trigger your existing processes via Model Context Protocol.
AI Agent Node
Embed intelligent, ad-hoc AI tasks inside your existing BPMN workflows.
Direct LLM Invocation
Call language models as native workflow steps — no external integration layer.

If It Works, Modernize It. Don't Rewrite It.
If your KIE Server workloads run well today, you do not need to move to Kogito. Aletyx Enterprise Build of KIE Server gives you a modern, secure, AI-ready runtime — and that is a complete, long-term answer. Aletyx Enterprise Build of Kogito is the right choice for greenfield projects — new workflows built cloud-native from the start. Unless you have a specific business demand that requires rearchitecting your current systems, there is no reason to rewrite what already works. Modernize what you have. Build new on Kogito. Never be forced into a rewrite you don't need
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to your questions.
01 Is this a drop-in replacement for my existing RHPAM, BAMOE v8, jBPM v7, or KIE Server deployment?
Yes. Same APIs. Same execution semantics. Same process behavior. Your existing KJARs deploy directly onto the Enterprise Build. Your regression tests pass. Your integrations stay intact.
02 What stack does it run on?
Java 21. Jakarta EE 10. Spring Boot 3. EAP 8.x and WildFly 35+. Kubernetes-ready. No more legacy application servers or outdated dependencies.
03 Why not just migrate to Kogito?
Moving to Kogito is a rewrite, not a migration. Kogito and KIE Server are architecturally different, different execution model, different persistence, different deployment, different APIs. Every BPMN asset and every integration has to be revisited. For workloads that already run well, that is a multi-quarter program with no new business value. Aletyx gives you a modern, AI-ready runtime without the rewrite.
04 What happened to KIE Server in the open-source ecosystem?
KIE Server was never transferred to Apache. The last community release is nearly three years old. The community focused on Kogito instead, which is a different architecture. Aletyx restored KIE Server as a fully supported, modernized product.
05 What AI capabilities are available?
The same AI capabilities shipping in Aletyx Enterprise Build of Kogito. MCP-based process triggering so AI agents can discover and invoke your workflows. AI Agent nodes for intelligent steps inside BPMN. Direct LLM invocation as a native workflow task. All governed by the deterministic engine around them.
06 Can I use Business Central with this?
Yes. We work with existing Business Central deployments for customers who rely on it today, and we collaborate with the customer on moving to an updated authoring and monitoring toolset over time. Decision Control is not a Business Central replacement — it is a different approach that delivers some of the same benefits with a different model.
07 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.
08 How long does migration typically take?
It varies with application size, but an average application can be migrated in about a week. Since the runtime is a drop-in replacement, most of the effort is validation rather than code changes. We can scope yours during a free 60-day evaluation.
