Enterprise AI orchestration without a custom glue stack
The components teams keep rebuilding by hand, and what it costs to own them across more than one team.
The components teams keep rebuilding
Ask three platform teams how they productionized their first AI workflow and you will hear the same list: a trigger normalizer, a secrets bridge, a policy check, an approval hook, a runner pool, a tool allowlist, and a log correlator that ties it together well enough to answer questions later.
Each piece is individually reasonable. Together they form a custom orchestration and governance layer that nobody set out to build and nobody wants to own.
Why it is expensive to keep
The build cost is visible and finite. The maintenance cost is neither. The stack is usually coupled to the first use case, so the second team forks it. It depends on two or three engineers who understand why the retry logic is shaped the way it is. It is difficult to audit end to end because no single component owns the whole record.
And it becomes risky to extend precisely when it matters most — when someone proposes giving it production credentials.
What belongs in a platform
The parts worth centralizing are the ones every workflow needs identically: reviewed configuration, caller-scoped authorization, approved model and tool profiles, runner placement, approval state, and the evidence model.
The parts worth keeping per team are the workflow definitions themselves. Those should be Git-owned so teams keep authorship while inheriting the controls.
Deciding build versus buy honestly
The question is not whether your team could build it. It is whether owning it is the best use of the next two quarters, and whether the third team to adopt it will get the same controls as the first.
If the answer to either is no, the orchestration layer is a buy and the workflows are a build.
