Frontstage scenarios
Generated and composed apps consume only governed adapters.
Layered architecture
AEP is the thick middle platform between frontstage app scenarios and backend systems of record. It orchestrates, governs, and assembles; backend systems keep data truth and transaction execution.
Generated and composed apps consume only governed adapters.
The middle platform owns catalog contracts, policy decisions, approvals, app templates, tool governance, release evidence, and audit trails.
Project context, visible capabilities, templates, approvals, and release evidence.
API, MCP tools, business capabilities, data products, workflows, and app templates.
App factory, agent orchestration, policy decisions, observability, and audit.
Preview, approval, GitOps promotion, evidence bundle, rollback, and reconciliation.
Source platforms remain authoritative for data truth and transaction execution.
Backend systems are not exposed as naked APIs; they enter AEP through controlled patterns.
Data products and read-only APIs expose scoped consumption contracts.
Idempotent adapters require approval, SOR owner semantics, rollback, and compensation.
Events enter the data platform; agents do not call source change streams directly.
File flows use checksum, validation, lake landing, and reconciliation evidence.
The frontend must make these limits visible before generated apps are released.
