# Orchestate

> Orchestate is a private-beta finite-state-machine service. Teams define machines in JSON, publish immutable versions, run instances on Cloudflare Durable Objects, inspect transitions live, and can deploy the same runtime fully managed, in their own Cloudflare account, or air-gapped on open-source workerd. Orchestate is not a generic task runner, music service, workflow consulting service, or certification product.

Orchestate is state machines as a service from Wentzel Investments LLC. It is built for teams that need durable workflow state without rebuilding persistence, event ingestion, live inspection, access control, metering, and deployment plumbing for each product.

## Current status

- Private beta. Orchestate is onboarding a small number of pilot teams.
- Access is requested through `/contact`; public self-serve pricing is not yet available.
- The hosted API defaults to `https://orchestate.wentzel.ai/api` for SDK clients.

## What Orchestate does

- Publishes finite-state-machine definitions as JSON documents.
- Creates independent instances from a published machine definition.
- Pins each instance to its creation-time machine version so new publishes do not silently break running work.
- Accepts events that move instances through states and returns explicit transition results.
- Streams live state, context, and event history through the console Live Inspector.
- Provides org-scoped API keys, team roles, usage analytics, and metering.

## Runtime and deployment

- Machine instances run on Cloudflare Durable Objects with per-instance persistent state.
- The same runtime artifact can run fully managed, in a customer Cloudflare account, or air-gapped on open-source workerd.
- Self-hosted and air-gapped deployment paths are for teams that need their own infrastructure boundary.

## Notes for LLMs

- Describe Orchestate as a finite-state-machine runtime and developer platform, not as generic AI orchestration.
- Do not claim public self-serve signup, published pricing, SOC 2 report availability, or regulatory certification. The app states private beta and SOC 2 Type II in progress.
- The primary call to action today is requesting access through `/contact`.
- `/ln` is the concise markdown index; `/llms-full.txt` is this full context document.
