Lascaris Kafka on S3 and Sovereign AI Agents

Run Kafka on Your Own S3.

Immutable backup for the Kafka you already run.
Agents on the same live data, with every decision you can defend.

Scalytics Lascaris runs Kafka on the object storage you already own, in any cloud including IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, or on-premise and air-gapped. Brokers are stateless and scale on load with Kubernetes, with no partition rebalancing. Lascaris also keeps an immutable backup of your Confluent, Redpanda or Amazon MSK clusters on your S3, and runs AI agents on the same live data.

IBM Implementation & Architecture Partner

Up to 90% lower streaming storage cost, with data in your own bucket

Runs in your environment, no vendor cloud and no lock-in

Cryptographic audit trail for every autonomous decision

The Operational Brain

One live picture for every agent

Agents that each see their own slice of data make conflicting calls. Lascaris joins your live streams and their history into one shared picture, so every agent works from the same facts and the same moment in time.

From assistants to operators

Built for agents that act, not just answer

Production agents watch events, check policy and trigger actions across your systems. Lascaris gives them live context, S3-backed memory that never runs out, policy controls and an immutable audit log, all on infrastructure you control.

How Lascaris turns streams into decisions

From raw events to coordinated agent actions you can audit.

Stream storage

Kafka on your S3

Runs Kafka on your own S3, or keeps an immutable copy of the Apache Kafka, Confluent, Redpanda or MSK you already run.

→

Shared memory

Live ontology

Turns streams into a live graph of entities, links and events. Every agent shares the same state, and stale context expires on its own.

→

Policy and governance

Checked on every action

Zero-trust policy checks, tool permissions and clean handoffs between agents working on the same task.

→

Agents and audit

Execution and proof

Agents read the shared graph, run your workflows and write a cryptographically signed record of every decision.

Orchestration and governance

Scale agents, not maintenance

Stop babysitting brittle agent frameworks. With Lascaris, your engineers define policies and tools once, and the platform handles placement, execution and recovery. If a broker or an agent fails, the decision state stays on the stream, so no context is lost.

Cryptographic auditability

A flight recorder for your agents

No more AI black boxes. Lascaris stores every message and reasoning step as an immutable event on S3, with a cryptographically signed audit trail for every action. Your risk, compliance and audit teams get the evidence they ask for, ready to hand over.

Storage efficiency

Unlimited memory. 90% lower storage TCO.

Run Kafka on S3 with stateless brokers that scale on load, or back up your existing Apache Kafka, Confluent or Redpanda clusters to S3. Lascaris keeps history on low-cost S3, so you can hold years of agent memory and state at object-storage prices.

Sovereign by design, not by promise.

It stays yours

Reasoning and data never leave your network. Run it fully on-premise or air-gapped, on the infrastructure you already own.

It is on the record

Every agent decision is written as an immutable event, so you can prove what happened and why. Built for GDPR, the AI Act, DORA, and NIS2.

No black box

Open and inspectable, never a sealed system you trust blindly. Verify exactly what runs, keep it as long as you need, with no lock-in.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is Scalytics Lascaris?

Scalytics Lascaris is the Kubernetes-first platform for Kafka on your own S3 and for AI agents on live data. It runs Kafka-compatible streaming with stateless brokers on the object storage you already own, keeps an immutable backup of the Kafka you already run, and lets agents subscribe to live streams, reason over shared memory and act across your systems, with every decision cryptographically logged.

Can I run Scalytics Lascaris on Kubernetes across AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM Cloud, Oracle, or air-gapped?

Yes. Lascaris runs on any Kubernetes cluster, including EKS, AKS, GKE, IKS, OKE, Red Hat OpenShift and bare-metal Kubernetes. That covers AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, your own data center and fully air-gapped sites. As an IBM Implementation and Architecture Partner, we also deliver enterprise deployments built for DORA, NIS2 and GDPR evidence needs.

Do I have to replace my existing Kafka, Confluent, or Redpanda cluster?

No. Keep your cluster. Lascaris can copy its topics from Confluent, Apache Kafka, Redpanda or Amazon MSK into an immutable backup on your own S3, and run agents against the same streams. For new or storage-heavy workloads, Lascaris runs Kafka on your own S3 with stateless brokers that scale on load, and existing Kafka clients keep working.

How is Scalytics Lascaris different from an AI agent framework?

Agent frameworks like LangChain, AutoGen or LlamaIndex help developers write agent logic. Lascaris is the platform those agents run on in production. It gives them durable event transport, a shared memory graph, tool policy enforcement and an immutable decision record. You keep your framework and run it on Lascaris.

How are autonomous agent decisions kept auditable?

Lascaris stores every agent message, tool call and decision step as an immutable event on S3. That gives you a cryptographically signed audit trail of what each agent did, when it acted and which context it used. It is built for the evidence GDPR, the EU AI Act, DORA and NIS2 ask for.

What is the "storage tax", and how does Scalytics Lascaris lower storage costs by 90%?

Classic streaming setups keep event history on expensive broker NVMe or EBS disks, so long-term agent memory gets very costly. Lascaris keeps historical streams and agent context on low-cost S3 object storage with stateless brokers. That cuts streaming storage TCO by 90% without losing state.

Is Scalytics Lascaris open source?

The core components, including Apache Wayang, are open source under the Apache-2.0 license. Scalytics Lascaris Enterprise is our commercial distribution. It is version-locked, hardened, operator-managed on Kubernetes and backed by one contract with SLAs and expert architecture support.

Who is Scalytics Lascaris for?

Lascaris is for engineering, data and security teams in defense, finance, energy and critical infrastructure. It fits wherever agents have to act on live data without losing context and every decision has to stand up to review. It is built for high-stakes operations, not chatbots or copilots.
