Overview
Cloud Solution Workbench transforms architectural intent into machine-readable specifications that power AI-assisted delivery.
From \idea to {code}
The journey from concept to working software has fundamentally changed. With AI coding agents now capable of generating implementation at scale, the bottleneck has shifted from writing code to specifying what to build with precision and clarity.
Cloud Solution Workbench addresses this shift by creating a structured bridge between design intent and implementation. It captures architectural decisions, domain models, and system boundaries as versioned, machine-readable specifications—not static documents, but living design assets that evolve with your system.
This structured design context becomes the foundation for both human collaboration and AI-assisted development. When design intent is explicit and accessible, teams align faster, AI agents generate more accurate code, and the gap between "what we decided" and "what we built" disappears.
The result: Teams move from idea to code with less friction, fewer misalignments, and greater confidence that implementation reflects architectural intent.
How design powers delivery
Structured specifications replace scattered documentation
Instead of architecture living in slides, wikis, and tribal knowledge, Cloud Solution Workbench creates a single, versioned design graph. Domain concepts, architectural boundaries, and technical standards are captured in a format that both humans and AI can query, navigate, and rely on.
AI agents work from shared context, not guesswork
When coding agents have access to explicit design specifications, they generate implementations that align with architectural decisions from the start. The first prompt reflects the agreed design. Developers review and refine rather than translate and re-explain.
Cross-functional teams align without constant meetings
Business stakeholders, architects, and engineers collaborate within the same design workspace. Changes propagate automatically. Intent doesn't need to be rediscovered every sprint. Alignment becomes embedded in the workflow, not negotiated in recurring meetings.
Example use cases
Launch new services with design-first clarity
Start projects with explicit architectural boundaries and domain models. AI coding agents generate initial implementations that already reflect design decisions, reducing rework and accelerating time to first deployment.
Modernize systems with architectural continuity
Map legacy capabilities into structured domain models. As requirements evolve, regenerate implementations while maintaining architectural consistency. Design becomes the stable layer that guides incremental modernization.
Scale delivery across distributed teams
Provide every team with the same up-to-date design context. Reduce coordination overhead. Enable autonomous delivery while maintaining architectural coherence across services and domains.
Product components
Solution Designer
Organize your project. Model your architecture. Design your solution.
The Solution Builder comprises a set of dedicated tools that allow solution creators — domain experts, architects, and developers — to work together seamlessly via a shared repository to iteratively design and improve your software architecture. Design decisions can be documented, shared, and visualized via diagrams to create one single source of truth for implementation.
Solution Builder features standardized design tools, which for example can be used to model business domains following the principles of Domain Driven Design. Developers can use these projects to implement software based on the domain specification.
Furthermore, Solution Builder provides shared assets to capture internal expertise, reuse domain specifications, or import prebuilt specifications to jump-start new implementation projects.
Solution CLI
Create your implementation.
Cloud Solution Workbench brings its own CLI tool to push and pull code from and to the Git repository, test and debug from a local machine into the OpenShift or Kubernetes cluster and to keep the SDKs up to date.

The CLI is oprating with the deprecated managed stacks only.
