Building HelixWorks: Production Microservices for AI Workflows

Build a governed supplier-onboarding product from intent to production evidence

CURRICULUM

Build HelixWorks, a multi-tenant AI workflow product, across ten practical days. Turn requirements into immutable blueprints, run bounded agents, integrate supplier systems through governed connectors, publish domain events, promote immutable releases, and operate the system across local, dev, staging, and production environments.

  1. 01Create a Project and Approve an App BlueprintTurn an application idea into a bounded, reviewable build contract before an agent can change source.Published 26 Jul 202620 sections
  2. 02Generate and Revise Through a Visible Agent RunWatch a bounded coding agent turn the approved App Blueprint into a reviewable, preview-ready revision.Published 26 Jul 202622 sections
  3. 03Interact with a Stateful Preview and Managed App DataUse the generated application, preserve state across revisions, and prove its data and validation boundaries before connecting enterprise systems.Published 26 Jul 202622 sections
  4. 04Connect Governed Enterprise DataProvision Salesforce and Snowflake access for a revenue-dashboard preview without exposing credentials, arbitrary queries, or private networks.Published 26 Jul 202623 sections
  5. 05Secure Delivery, Promotion, and RollbackClick Publish to release the exact tested artifact, then use production feedback to build v2, apply a compatible migration, canary it, roll back, correct it, and redeploy.Published 26 Jul 202624 sections
  6. 06Observability, Incidents, and GovernanceOperate, restore, govern, and retire a generated-application fleet, ending with Workboard export and deletion, a separate revenue-app connector-revocation reference, retention expiry, and residual-access proof.Published 26 Jul 202623 sections
  7. 07Publish Events Without Losing Business StateMake HelixWorks workflows reliable when a database commit succeeds but a network call, event delivery, or consumer fails.Published 11 Aug 20268 sections
  8. 08Govern Connectors With Exact Capability DecisionsLet an onboarding run perform one supplier action without giving an agent a reusable credential or a broad integration role.Published 11 Aug 20268 sections
  9. 09Promote One Artifact Across Four EnvironmentsMake local, dev, staging, and production differ by configuration and scale—not by manually reconstructed architecture.Published 11 Aug 20268 sections
  10. 10Prove the Product Through Failure and RecoveryFinish HelixWorks by demonstrating that a supplier-onboarding workflow remains bounded, explainable, and recoverable when dependencies fail.Published 11 Aug 20268 sections
