Elastcode Elastcode the platform

Two things made today possible: a long stretch of platform engineering, and the moment LLMs got good enough to drive that platform on autopilot.

The platform: 2010–2024

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.

The pivot: 2025–2026

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.

The brand hierarchy

Three names, three layers, one company. People ask which we are; the answer is "all three, in this order":

  • Elastcode — the company. Elastcode Ltd, Cyprus, founded 2010. The legal entity. The thing that makes payroll, signs contracts, hires AI claudes as workers, and holds the platform IP.
  • Elastbiz — the operating substrate. What we previously called "the Elastic Platform." EPL, the Elastic Database, the HTTP server, the GUI framework, the plugin system. The thing every app runs on. Now with a name that earns the "OS" suffix because partitions, AI workers, plans, audit, and credentials are all first-class primitives — not bolted on.
  • Elastbiz — the product family. Code (shipping Mon 2026-06-01), Tables (Week 6 wedge), Mail (Week 6), Watchcam, Home, Assistant. Each product is a plugin extending Elastbiz. Customers activate the ones they need; each costs $10–$50/mo independently.

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.

What we sell

Two things:

  • Custom apps on demand — describe what you need on elastcode.com, AI builds it, you self-host. $50 for a simple tool, $5,000 for a full platform.
  • The Elastbiz suite — Code (shipping), Tables, Connect, Watch (this year), Mail (next). Self-host free; paid tiers add governance.

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.

Who runs it

Two humans and a roster of AI claudes. See the team page for who and why.
