Get in the Saddle and Take Control.
The LittleHorse Saddle Command Center, based on the open-source LittleHorse Server, is the only enterprise platform for Business-as-Code. The Saddle Command Center allows you to connect to your existing systems, compose them into processes with Business-as-Code, govern your agents, and process data in real-time to extract business insights.
Rise above the complexity and turn your existing systems from tech debt to composable assets.
Business-as-Code In Action
Just as Infrastructure-as-Code brought governance and agility to DevOps, Business-as-Code does the same for application development. Write version-controlled business processes in Java, Python, C#, or Go, and get a compiled visual workflow graph that product managers understand and coding agents can use as context.
Define your processes and integrations in high-level code, and let LittleHorse process and govern them end-to-end.

Govern Agents with Business-as-Code
Agents are probabilistic: they get the right answer most of the time, but "most of the time" isn't good enough for mission-critical customer-facing workflows. With Business-as-Code, agents gather context and decide while LittleHorse acts.
Business-as-Code enforces security, validates identity, and executes privileged actions with a full audit trail.
