What it does

6 capabilities you’ll actually use.

No marketing checklist. Every capability below ships in the preview build.

// custody attestation · asset 9f1c-2e7a { "asset": "9f1c-2e7a", "chain": [ { "event": "ingest", "actor": "svc-ingest", "sha256": "3b…" }, { "event": "tagged", "actor": "alice@bank.com" }, { "event": "retained", "actor": "policy:LR-7y", "approved_by": "compliance@bank.com" } ], "signature": "-----BEGIN SIG-----" }

WORM-grade storage

Once written, immutable. Retention rules enforced by the runtime, not by convention.

Operator-reviewable retention

Retention rules go through human review before they take effect. Auditors see who approved what.

Provable custody

Cryptographic chain of custody from ingest through every transformation to delivery.

Indexed search

Full-text and metadata search across the archive. Per-tenant, per-tag, per-role visibility.

Versioned tagging

Tag changes are revisions. Old tag sets are recoverable; an audit shows who changed what when.

In-VPC by default

Archive runs inside your perimeter. Pluggable object backend — your storage, your encryption keys.

How it works

5 steps. End-to-end, in one product.

Ingest

Upload assets via API or watch a bucket. Hashes and chain-of-custody recorded.

Tag

Classify with metadata and free-text tags. Retention policy attached at ingest.

Retain

Policy enforces retention dates. WORM until expiry. Operator approval to extend.

Search

Full-text and metadata. Per-role visibility — assets you cannot read, you cannot list.

Prove

Custody attestation on demand: signed chain from ingest to current state.

What’s in the box

4 containers. Scale them independently.

The control plane and the data plane ship as separate images so you can size them for your traffic, not ours.

`archive-api`	Ingest, search, retention CRUD, custody endpoints.
`archive-ui`	Browser console. Tagging, search, retention review.
`archive-worker`	Indexing, transcoding, retention enforcement, custody attestations.
`archive-store`	Pluggable object backend. S3, GCS, Azure Blob, MinIO.

Who buys this

4 kinds of organization.

Banks and insurers with statutory retention requirements running into the decades.
Public-sector archives where chain of custody is the deliverable.
Media and broadcast operations with high-bitrate, long-tail assets.
Regulated industries replacing tape libraries with object storage but still answerable to auditors.

License tiers

Preview free. Lift the cap when it matters.

Community and Trial licenses are auto-issued the first time the runtime boots. Enterprise licenses are reviewed by a human, usually within two business days.
