Agent-assisted delivery

Move bounded changes through development, UAT and production with a smaller team.

Product-aware delivery agents inspect Maintra’s contracts, update existing configuration or code paths, run the established checks and prepare release evidence. People define the scope, review risk and authorize production.

Reference topology

Automation prepares the release. An authorized person approves it.

The delivery path starts with a bounded requirement, continues through implementation and executable checks, and reaches production only after an accountable person reviews the evidence.

Current implementation

Trace the existing contract and workflow before making a change.

A delivery agent follows the related API, service, configuration and user flow before editing it. The change stays close to supported extension points and existing product behaviour.

  • Current contract and dependency inspection
  • Reuse of existing domain services and configuration controls
  • Explicit record ownership and security boundary

Change scope

Use configuration before changing shared code.

Rules, workflow definitions, configuration packages, expression guards, action catalogues and webhook adapters cover many customer variations. A code change is appropriate when the requirement belongs in the shared product.

  • Portable configuration packages and validation
  • Bounded expressions and typed actions
  • Reusable product change when configuration is not enough

Executable checks

Run the established checks with every change.

Agents can run API and database scenarios, migration rehearsals, type checks, builds and browser journeys with representative roles and records. The release evidence includes the command output and any unresolved failures.

  • Focused regression and contract checks
  • Upgrade, downgrade and restore rehearsal when data changes
  • Browser acceptance across the real client/API boundary

Release control

Require an authorized production decision.

The agent prepares the change, evidence and rollback path. An authorized person reviews scope, data impact and acceptance results before UAT or production promotion. The release ends with checks against the live migration, traffic and maintenance workflow.

  • Explicit approval before production mutation
  • Environment-specific credentials remain controlled
  • Post-release migration, traffic and workflow acceptance

Implementation constraint

Keep production authority with accountable people.

A delivery plan can target days for a well-bounded configuration or integration. Scope, data impact and operational risk determine the schedule. Agents prepare work and evidence; accountable people control credentials, approvals and production access.

Architecture overview
API as the product

One EAM API for every client.

 Deploy anywhere

Run one container on a VPS, then add capacity without changing application code.

 Data & scale

Keep transactions in the database. Add caches for measured bottlenecks.

 Custom apps & connections

Use Maintra apps or build a custom client against the same APIs.

Evaluate Maintra against a real maintenance process.

Use a representative asset, work order, access model and operational handoff to assess product fit.
