AmiCore

The Governed Container

AmiCore is the runtime container in which 3forge components are configured, executed, monitored and governed, so every use case inherits a common operating model instead of implementing its own.

Why a container

Governance as a first-class citizen

Operating systems and infrastructure platforms are unable to address governance inside a complex application:

  • Which data an application may expose to a particular user
  • How an AI agent may invoke a business procedure
  • Which component is consuming a stream
  • How an action is recorded for audit
  • How files, ports, plugins and resources are managed across every component within the application

Implemented application by application, those decisions leave two systems on the same infrastructure following different security, monitoring and operational models.

AmiCore adds a layer of control inside the process itself: a shared runtime where the cross-cutting concerns are addressed once and applied consistently across every component, interface and application within it.

AmiCore

AmiCore provides a common runtime that lets you architect components for each use case, from simple ones to highly scaled deployments. It is a software container managing:

Platform & interfaces

  • Deployment
  • Data access
  • Plugins
  • REST
  • MCP
  • JDBC

InfoSec

  • Role-based access
  • Login & authentication
  • File-system & port access
  • Model activity monitoring
  • Auditing

Development

  • 100% unit test code coverage
  • IDE integration
  • Inline debugger
  • Unified scripting language

Inside the AmiCore container, architects can shape their deployment using the following components:

Relays

  • Reliable connectivity to real-time feeds
  • Message transformation and routing
  • Horizontal scaling of data ingest

Explore Relays

Centers

  • Data virtualization, persistence, replication and publication
  • In-memory and historical SQL DB
  • CEP Engine

Explore Centers

Gateways

  • Governed distribution of real-time subscriptions
  • MapReduce for querying distributed data

Explore Gateways

Web Servers

  • Live UI, workflow and reporting runtime
  • Integrated Workbench

Explore Web Servers

Web Managers

  • Horizontal scaling
  • Centralized management of user profiles and dashboards

Explore Web Managers

Web Balancers

  • Horizontal scaling of live user sessions

Explore Web Balancers

Plug-in model

  • AmiCore uses a plugin paradigm for I/O which delivers a common implementation of each interface governed by the same policy
  • Agents enter through a defined interface, receive only the context they are entitled to, and leave an attributable record
  • Governance is inherited from the runtime, not added to each application afterwards

Governance

AmiCore is designed to meet the application runtime requirements of financial institutions by offering a flexible corporate security model that contains, audits and governs applications, including AI-generated ones, with the following capabilities:

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Authentication is extensible via industry-standard SSO protocols.

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)

Full support for SAML 2.0.

Open Authorization (OAuth)

OAuth 2.0, for integration with identity providers such as Okta, Azure AD and Ping Identity.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

A highly granular framework supporting nested roles, group hierarchies and data-level entitlements, applied down to the field or cell level, so data visibility stays segregated across users and teams.

End-to-end encryption covering data transmission and storage

TLS for transmission, AES for storage, with secure replication protocols preserving consistency and integrity across distributed deployments.

SOC 2 Type II, independently audited under AICPA standards

Audit-ready for regulated industries such as finance, insurance and government.
