Platform Overview

The Zild Platform is an enterprise-grade AI orchestration infrastructure designed to support high conversation volume, multi-tenant isolation, and mission-critical automation. This document explains the platform architecture from an infrastructure, scalability, and reliability perspective.

​
Architectural Principles

Zild is built on the following foundational principles:
  1. Multi-tenant isolation
  2. Horizontal scalability
  3. Event-driven processing
  4. Channel abstraction
  5. Separation of AI reasoning and deterministic automation
  6. Observability and auditability
These principles ensure the platform can scale safely across multiple organizations and departments.

​
High-Level Architecture

The system is structured into distinct layers: Ingress Layer → Orchestration Layer → AI Processing → Workflow Engine → Integration Layer → Persistence Layer Each layer has a clearly defined responsibility.

​
1. Ingress Layer

The Ingress Layer receives inbound communication from:
  • WhatsApp providers
  • Voice providers (SIP / Twilio)
  • Webchat widgets
  • External APIs
Responsibilities:
  • Webhook validation
  • Signature verification
  • Payload normalization
  • Tenant resolution
  • App resolution
  • Rate limiting
This layer is stateless and horizontally scalable.

​
2. Orchestration Layer

The Orchestration Layer coordinates:
  • Event routing
  • Conversation lookup
  • Agent loading
  • Context retrieval
  • Workflow trigger evaluation
It ensures that every inbound event is processed deterministically within tenant boundaries. All routing decisions are tenant-scoped.

​
3. AI Processing Layer

The AI Processing Layer executes agent reasoning. Responsibilities:
  • System instruction injection
  • Context assembly
  • Tool selection
  • Model execution
  • Structured output handling
Key characteristics:
  • Stateless compute nodes
  • Context stored externally
  • Horizontal scaling support
  • Timeout and fallback handling
AI reasoning is isolated from workflow execution to preserve deterministic automation integrity.

​
4. Workflow Engine

The Workflow Engine executes deterministic automation logic. Workflows are:
  • Event-driven
  • Rule-based
  • Auditable
  • Repeatable
The engine supports:
  • Webhook dispatch
  • CRM synchronization
  • Task creation
  • Escalation routing
  • Notification dispatch
  • Call transfers
Workflows run independently from AI model execution to ensure operational stability.

​
5. Integration Layer

The Integration Layer manages communication with external systems:
  • CRM platforms
  • Telephony providers
  • Messaging providers
  • Enterprise internal systems
  • Payment processors
  • Custom APIs
Security mechanisms include:
  • API authentication
  • Webhook signature verification
  • Access control policies
  • Rate limiting
  • Retry logic for transient failures
Integration execution is asynchronous when possible to reduce blocking operations.

​
6. Persistence Layer

The Persistence Layer stores:
  • Conversations
  • Events
  • Workflow executions
  • Metadata
  • Tenant configuration
  • Audit logs
Design characteristics:
  • Tenant-scoped data partitioning
  • Durable storage
  • Event logging
  • Message history retention
  • Indexing for fast lookup
Conversation state is externalized from compute nodes, enabling stateless service scaling.

​
Multi-Tenant Isolation Model

Zild is designed as a true multi-tenant system. Each tenant has:
  • Logical data isolation
  • Independent configuration
  • Independent agents
  • Independent integrations
  • Independent workflows
Isolation is enforced at:
  • Data access layer
  • API routing layer
  • Workflow execution layer
  • Authentication layer
No tenant can access another tenant’s data or configuration. This model supports:
  • Enterprise deployments
  • Multi-brand organizations
  • White-label environments
  • Department-level separation

​
Scalability Model

Zild scales horizontally.

​
Stateless Application Services

All application nodes are stateless. Conversation context is retrieved from persistent storage when needed. This enables:
  • Horizontal scaling under load
  • Container-based deployment
  • Rapid instance replication

​
Asynchronous Event Processing

Inbound events are processed asynchronously where possible. Benefits:
  • Reduced response latency
  • Improved throughput
  • Better fault isolation
  • Queue-based backpressure handling

​
Parallel AI Execution

Each conversation execution is isolated. The platform supports:
  • Parallel agent processing
  • Independent workflow execution
  • High concurrency per tenant
  • Cross-tenant workload balancing

​
Reliability & Fault Tolerance

Zild is designed for operational continuity.

​
Retry Logic

Transient integration failures are retried using configurable policies.

​
Timeout Handling

AI execution and external API calls include timeout controls to prevent system blocking.

​
Graceful Degradation

If a non-critical integration fails:
  • The conversation continues
  • The error is logged
  • Monitoring alerts can be triggered

​
Idempotent Event Handling

Events are processed in a way that prevents duplicate execution of workflows.

​
Observability & Monitoring

Enterprise systems require visibility. Zild provides:
  • Conversation logs
  • Event tracking
  • Workflow execution history
  • Error logging
  • Integration status tracking
This enables:
  • Debugging
  • Performance monitoring
  • Compliance auditing
  • SLA verification

​
Security Architecture

Security is embedded at every layer.

​
Authentication

  • API key authentication
  • Role-based access control
  • Tenant-scoped permissions

​
Webhook Security

  • Signature verification
  • Endpoint validation
  • Request authentication

​
Data Isolation

  • Tenant-scoped storage
  • Access-layer enforcement
  • Strict routing boundaries

​
Performance Characteristics

The architecture supports:
  • High inbound message throughput
  • Concurrent voice sessions
  • Large-scale conversation storage
  • Multi-channel deployments per tenant
Because application nodes are stateless and context is externalized, capacity can scale based on traffic demand.

​
Enterprise Readiness

Zild was designed for:
  • Mid-market organizations
  • Enterprise deployments
  • High-volume support operations
  • Multi-channel environments
  • Compliance-conscious industries
The separation between:
  • Channel abstraction
  • AI reasoning
  • Deterministic workflows
  • Integration execution
ensures predictable behavior even under high load.

​
Summary

Zild is not a single-channel chatbot system. It is a modular AI infrastructure platform that provides:
  • Multi-tenant isolation
  • Horizontal scalability
  • Event-driven orchestration
  • Deterministic workflow automation
  • Secure integration management
  • Observability and auditability
This architecture enables organizations to deploy AI once and scale safely across channels, departments, and use cases.
