Elastcode is a Cyprus company that's been writing software for 14 years. The thing we kept writing — through video systems, plugins, enterprise tooling, and games — was a platform. Now that platform is the substrate AI workers use to build apps for paying customers.
Two things made today possible: a long stretch of platform engineering, and the moment LLMs got good enough to drive that platform on autopilot.
We've been shipping production software since 2010. The customers were varied — cloud gaming, remote desktop, video plugins, enterprise back-office systems, VR — but the substrate we built each on was the same: EPL (a C-like OOP scripting language we wrote), the Elastic Database (a hierarchical object store with a built-in query DSL), the HTTP server (multi-threaded, native TLS), and a cross-platform GUI widget layer.
That stack — the Elastic Platform — let us build systems faster than teams five times our size. We never sold it as a product. We used it ourselves and shipped the results.
Last year, LLMs got good enough that an AI worker could read EPL, understand the Elastic Database schema model, and write production code on top of both. So we built a layer that lets AI workers do exactly that — with human review at architecture-and-approval level, not line-by-line.
The first product on this layer is Elastbiz Code: a self-hosted git platform with AI memory, governance, and audit log. The platform that ran our prior decade now runs AI workers building software for customers.
Three names, three layers, one company. People ask which we are; the answer is "all three, in this order":
So when you visit elastbiz.com you're looking at the product family. When you visit elastcode.com (here) you're looking at the company. When you read about "Elastbiz" — that's the substrate underneath both, formally introduced at elastcode.com/substrate.
Two things:
Source available under a multi-license model: the web layer (HSRV) is Elastic License 2.0 — use, modify, self-host it. Just don't resell it as a competing hosted service.
