LittleHorse Enterprises LLC

Enabling the next generation of Workflow-Driven Applications.

Founded in December 2021

After years of working on microservices using various event-driven architecture patterns, our Founder Colt McNealy decided there must be a better way to build modern software.

 Over the holiday break in 2021, he decided to start prototyping a modern workflow engine designed to put engineers back in the saddle of their microservice architecture.

Open-Sourced in 2023

As a company built by engineers, for engineers, we decided to make our platform open-source, since that's what we expect from software we use ourselves.

 That's why you can find our code and roadmap on GitHub—free for production use—, where we welcome contributions from the community.
