What is Sailhouse?
Building reliable, production-ready AI agents often requires wrestling with complex orchestration frameworks. Sailhouse simplifies this entire process. It’s an event-driven control plane that gives you the power to deploy, monitor, and scale your agents and asynchronous workloads without the overhead, letting you ship faster and with more confidence.
Key Features
Sailhouse provides the essential primitives you need to build sophisticated, event-driven systems with ease.
⚙️ Execute Complex Workflows with Wait Groups Run multiple, parallel agent tasks and receive a single, consolidated event upon completion. This fan-out, fan-in capability is perfect for multi-step processes like code reviews or data analysis, eliminating the need for complex state management in your own code.
⏱️ Master Time with Scheduled Events & Cron Jobs Precisely control when actions occur. Schedule a one-time event for a specific future date—like sending a follow-up email in 14 days—or use cron jobs to trigger recurring tasks, such as generating a daily report or syncing data every hour.
🌐 Deploy Anywhere with Push/Pull Flexibility Sailhouse integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, whether you're on AWS, Vercel, or a bare-metal server. Send events to your services via HTTP webhooks (push) or have your workers securely fetch them from a subscription (pull), giving you complete control over your architecture.
🛡️ Ensure Stability with Advanced Controls Protect your services from being overwhelmed. Implement fine-grained rate limiting to manage traffic spikes and use event filtering to ensure your subscriptions only process relevant events, reducing unnecessary compute and noise.
How Sailhouse Solves Your Problems:
Sailhouse is designed for practical, real-world scenarios where reliability and control are paramount.
Building a Multi-Agent System: Imagine you're building an agent to review software pull requests. You need separate agents for security, style, and test coverage analysis. With a Sailhouse Wait Group, you can trigger all three agents to run in parallel. Sailhouse then sends a single
review-completedevent only after all three have finished, allowing you to reliably post the final, consolidated review.Scheduling User-Centric Actions: A user signs up for a free trial and you want to send them a reminder three days before it expires. Instead of managing a database of timers, you can simply publish a
send-reminderevent scheduled to execute at the precise time. Sailhouse handles the waiting and delivery, keeping your application logic clean and focused.Running Regular System Tasks: Your application needs to calculate user usage and update billing dashboards every night at 2:00 AM. A simple Sailhouse cron job can trigger an
update-billingevent on a reliable, recurring schedule, ensuring your critical business logic runs on time, every time.
Unique Advantages of Sailhouse
Sailhouse isn't just another message queue; it's a fundamentally different approach to managing asynchronous work.
Unlike complex orchestration frameworks that demand you build within them, Sailhouse acts as a lightweight control plane that integrates with your existing code. This means you can add powerful event-driven capabilities without rewriting your applications.
While traditional message brokers require you to manage queues, failover logic, and retries, Sailhouse handles at-least-once delivery, automatic retries, and durable event storage out of the box. You get resilience without the operational overhead.
Where manual solutions for parallel tasks lead to race conditions and brittle code, Sailhouse provides Wait Groups as a native primitive. This makes fanning out and fanning in work a declarative, reliable process, not an engineering challenge.
Conclusion:
Sailhouse is the essential control plane for developers building modern, event-driven applications. By replacing brittle orchestration with precise, code-native control, you can focus on creating powerful agentic functionality, not on managing infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How difficult is it to integrate Sailhouse into my existing application? Integration is straightforward by design. With SDKs for Go and TypeScript/JavaScript, you can start publishing and subscribing to events with just a few lines of code. Sailhouse plugs into your current architecture without requiring you to rewrite your systems.
2. What happens if Sailhouse experiences an outage? Sailhouse is engineered for high availability and self-healing. In the rare event of an issue, your events are durably stored and will be automatically retried once services are restored. This ensures your critical workflows are not lost and require no manual intervention from your team.
3. Am I locked into the Sailhouse platform if I start using it? No. Sailhouse is built on open concepts and integrates cleanly with your stack. We are focused on providing a control layer, not a restrictive ecosystem. This gives you the flexibility to adopt the features you need and evolve your architecture as your product grows.
