Gumbuya is a semantic computing platform to build and run applications on a semantic graph. A fundamentally different paradigm, it allows for an industrialised software build approach making the long tail of SaaS applications feasible: Like constructing a building, an architect creates a model together with the domain experts. This model is a bill of materials and allows for straight-forward assembled by IT resources—compared to traditional approaches, where a spec has to be interpreted by craftspeople. This approach lowers cost and time to market and increases predictability, consistency, reliability and flexibility. Gumbuya has built the platform from ground-up, created tooling, methodology and service offering to deliver client projects.
