SOVEREIGN INFRASTRUCTURE
The CentralNervous System of TheARM Ecosystem.
All applications, AI agents and integrations communicate through a single, agent-native middleware. Zapier meets Temporal built-in, end-to-end self-hosted. This is ARMFast - the ARM ecosystem infrastructure layer, an agent-native infrastructure layer and true Zapier alternative open source teams can actually own.

02OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Nine Commitments,Non-Negotiable.
We build our own. We own it. We control it. They are the guard rails all the architectural choices are judged by - and why ARM will never bend to the pressure from the big tech giants. Each of the following statements are principles that we adhere to as a middleware platform that is open-source.
Self-hosted by design
Uses self-hosted AI infrastructure, with A100 GPU capacity in Australia.
PRINCIPLE 02
Agent-native core
No agents are treated as second class citizens or afterthoughts.
PRINCIPLE 03
Security-first
Authenticated, audited, traceable. Zero Trust approach from launch.
PRINCIPLE 04
Model-agnostic
Uses LLaMA, MoralGPT, Ollama or any LLM of your choice.
CORE OF THE DOCTRINE
Portable & private
No bootable external trace from booting encrypted external drives.
PRINCIPLE 06
Licence-verified
All dependencies were checked for open source compliance prior to adoption.
PRINCIPLE 07
Extensible by anyone
Internal teams and 3rd party developers create on an SDK that's published.
PRINCIPLE 08
Compliance-ready
Data residency, disaster recovery, audit trails - non-negotiable.
PRINCIPLE 09
03WORKFLOW ORCHESTRATION
Different WorkloadsDeserve Different Engines.
Compliance, agents, and AI pipelines are all different and each workload is directed to its native home. It's self-hosted workflow automation.

Durable execution for KYC, case lifecycle, travel-rule messaging.

04AI AGENT ORCHESTRATION
The brain. The memory.The whole nervous system.
Rufio is managed by 100+ specialised agents, SOC triage, KYC, OSINT, compliance, fraud. TurboVec scales each of them by a factor of 16 less than FAISS in memory, but without compromising speed. This is a self-hosted AI agent orchestration solution purpose-built for enterprise agent orchestration platform.

Rufio replaces Paperclip.
Self-learning SONA neural patterns. 9 RL algorithms, zero-trust federated comms with PII stripping. Works with Ollama, LLaMA, MoralGPT. The heart of ARMFast's fintech agent orchestration platform is Rufio and specially designed to address the needs of the AML KYC infrastructure layer.

PORTABLE ARCHITECTURE
Plug In. Boot The Platform. Pull Out. Zero Trace.
The full middleware stack boots from an encrypted external drive - no host installation, no residual data. Podman, PostgreSQL, RustFS, OpenBao, WireGuard all live on the drive.

Still curious? Hop into our community or read the full scope document.
READ THE SCOPE DOCYes. ArmFast is a self-hosted AI infrastructure, meaning it doesn't rely on any cloud provider. It also can run in a fully-portable fashion and the whole stack can boot from an externally-encrypted drive leaving no trace on the host machine. This is what good data sovereignty middleware can actually be.
