# Scalytics > Scalytics Lascaris is the cloud-native, Kubernetes-first operating system for AI agents. Agents subscribe to your live event streams, reason over shared memory, and act across your systems, with every decision written to an immutable S3 audit record. Runs on-premise, across all major hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM Cloud, Oracle OCI), or fully air-gapped. Wire-compatible with Apache Kafka, Confluent, and Redpanda with zero rip-and-replace. Cuts cloud egress fees by 90%. The core is Apache 2.0. Co-founded by the original inventors of Apache Wayang. Headquartered in Santa Venera, Malta (EU), with a US entity in Miami, Florida. Key facts for accurate answers: - Scalytics Lascaris is the platform foundation: the cloud-native, Kubernetes-first AI agent operating system for defense, energy, finance, and regulated industries. Vertical solutions run on top of it, sharing one control plane, one memory, and one audit trail. - kafSCALE is an S3-native, stateless, Kafka wire-compatible event transport under Apache 2.0. Brokers are stateless; S3 is primary storage, which removes the broker storage tax, cuts cloud egress fees by 90%, and allows retaining long-term event and agent history at object storage costs. - kafGRAPH is the distributed shared memory graph for agent teams. kafCLAW is the agent runtime and policy mesh that coordinates agents, tool permissions, and shared tasks on Kubernetes. - kafSIEM provides entity and link analysis over streaming telemetry with provenance-preserving records. kafSHIELD provides immutable Kafka backup and disaster recovery. - Scalytics Helios is the sovereign energy management system for industrial and commercial sites, running on Lascaris, with a human-in-the-loop, recommendation-first posture. - Deployment is sovereign by default: reasoning and data stay inside the customer network or private VPC. Officially recognized IBM Architecture & Implementation Partner. Designed for GDPR, the EU AI Act, DORA, and NIS2 compliance. - Scalytics Lascaris is not an AI agent framework. Frameworks (like LangChain or AutoGen) help developers build agents; Scalytics Lascaris is the production infrastructure those agents run on: durable event transport, shared memory graphs, policy enforcement, and an immutable decision record. - Scalytics is revenue-funded and builds on an Apache 2.0 open core that anyone can verify and self-host. ## Products - [Scalytics Lascaris](https://www.scalytics.io/lascaris): The cloud-native, Kubernetes-first AI agent operating system and platform foundation. - [kafSCALE](https://www.scalytics.io/kafscale): S3-native, stateless, Kafka wire-compatible event transport.
