Built for Agentic Engineering
Your team is building plumbing instead of product
Microcelium is the platform layer underneath your product. Auth, messaging, observability, integrations, compliance — defined once as Organisation as Code, run by agents, audited continuously. Plus Glass UI for your web and mobile front-ends — so your engineers ship product from the first commit, the rest is already there.
You hired engineers to build the product. They're building the platform that runs it.
Your engineers spend more time wiring together integration plumbing, compliance infrastructure and monitoring tooling than they do building the thing that actually makes you money.
The 3am alert for an outage nobody owned. The payment integration that broke when the provider deprecated the endpoint. The demo that crashed at the pitch.
Every business needs solid foundations. But foundations don't create competitive advantage. Your best engineers should be focused on building what makes you different.
What makes you different
Compute & storage — owned first, rented when it suits
What it does
A developer platform with agents, a UI toolkit and ready-made components baked in. Seven capabilities, each tied to the component that delivers it.
Organisation as Code
Define your org in YAML. Changes propagate to Office 365, Active Directory, GitHub, Slack, AWS, HR systems, facilities and monitoring. Onboarding in minutes, not days.
Glass UI & Prism API
The Prism layer: a React and React Native UI toolkit paired with a modular Laravel backend. Build web and mobile apps on top of the platform — or run Prism API headless behind your own frontend. Auth, multi-tenancy, payments, CRM and more, ready on day one.
Agentic Automation
Software agents in the Loom layer that handle the work humans shouldn't have to: routing invoices, monitoring SLAs, detecting compliance drift, scaling infrastructure. Rule-based and adaptive. Human escalation built in. Full audit trail.
Event-Driven Core
Send anything to anything. RabbitMQ message bus with the MDXF envelope (JSON over AMQP, optional HMAC-signed). Multi-protocol providers: AMQP, MQTT, REST, MCP, SSH, SAMBA, Syncthing, Email.
Observability (Medusa)
See every service, agent and message in one pane. Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo — part of the substrate from day one, not bolted on.
Edge to Cloud (Air/Sylph)
Sensors speak the same language as services. IoT devices, LoRaWAN, Raspberry Pi Pico, ESP32 — all through the same ingestion pipeline and message bus.
Continuous Compliance
Audits are a query, not a sprint. ISO 27001-aligned controls, audit-ready logging, access control automation. Compliance Agents monitor continuously and remediate or escalate.
The Pyraburg Principle
A pyramid for stability, an iceberg for visibility. Your team builds the 20% above the waterline — the part that makes you different; the other 80% runs invisibly beneath — and every layer is built to be run by agents. Three layers carry the story; eight levels carry the detail.
Three layers, three ways in
One platform, three different reasons to arrive. Each layer stands alone; together they stack.
Prism. What's visible.
For product teams. Web and mobile surfaces on Glass UI, a modular API behind them — auth, tenancy, payments and CRM ready on day one. Most of your application ships from the first commit — you build the 20% that makes it different.
Loom. The workforce that never sleeps.
For teams automating operations. Agents and graph workflows with identity, retries, audit and cost attribution already in place — an agentic workforce with human gates.
Substrate. The floor you own.
For infrastructure owners. Bare metal, hypervisors, networks and container stacks as declarations in Git — one audited control plane, no landlord at any layer.
