You already build with AI agents.
It works in demo, but fails in production.
Are you ready to build production‑grade software?
FAANG-grade Performance
200,000 durable actions per second.
Under 5 ms each.
Built to be the fastest workflow engine you can run.
How we measured it
Requests: each starts a whole process — in Fractal, 2 connected processes of 5 nodes each; in Restate, 1 workflow of 9 actions; in n8n, 2 nodes; in Conductor, 13 tasks.
Actions: each unit of work an engine runs and records — a node in Fractal, measured on 13 connected processes of 88 nodes in total; an action in Temporal and Restate; an execution in Inngest, as its own figure counts them, at its burst capacity; a task in Conductor; a node in n8n, counted in its benchmark’s workflow of 2 nodes, 2,500 per second on 7 servers.
Latency, 1 action: p99 — Fractal: a node; Temporal: an activity’s start; Conductor: a task’s update. Restate: a median. Inngest: p95 between executions, as its own blog expects it served over HTTP — under 5 ms with checkpointing and Connect. N/A: not published.

Enterprise-grade Scalability
Every component scales on its own.
Each component runs as an independent service, so a rush on one never slows the rest. The engine is never the slow part of your product, at peak or at scale.

Resilience
Multi-AZ and multi-DC. If a zone or a whole data center goes down, another takes over, with your data.
×N is how many copies of that service are running — shown here under a simulated load. Each scales out on its own as its load grows.
Banking-grade Security
The platform even banks run on.
Security isn’t added on top of Fractal. It’s what Fractal is made of.
Access
- Inherited RolesGrants 5 roles, from run-only to owner, inherited down the hierarchy.
- Call AuthorizationChecks the token and permissions on every call.
- Single Sign-OnSigns your team in through Okta, Azure AD or any OIDC or SAML provider — from the Enterprise plan up.
- Two-Factor Sign-InAdds a second factor to every sign-in.Soon
Execution
- Isolated ExecutionRuns your JavaScript in isolated containers, within limits.
- Run-Only AccessLets a person or a system run a process without seeing its logic.
- Company QuotasKeeps every company within its own limits.
Data
- Your Own HostingDeploys in your cloud or your own data center.
- Encrypted SecretsEncrypts every credential with its own AES-256-GCM key.
- mTLS & QSEALSecures API calls with client certificates and PSD2 signing.
- Data RetentionHolds data for your retention period, and not a day longer.
Control
- Audit TrailRecords every change with its author and time.
- RollbackRestores any previous version.
- Security ReviewProvides security documentation on request.

$8.90 per 1M actions on Startup.
$0 self-hosted, up to 50 requests per second.
How we measured it
Cost: each one’s lowest monthly list price per 1M actions on its own cloud, at the volume it falls lowest — Fractal: Startup, 10M per month; Restate: Premium, 200M actions per month; n8n: Pro, $144 for 50,000 workflow runs per month, each run billed whole and counted as 100 nodes — Fractal costs less for any run of up to 323 nodes; Temporal: Business, 200M actions per month, 10% over them; Inngest: Business, 10M per month — its rates past it are not published. Self-hosted, each is free — Fractal up to 50 requests per second.

Your agent builds. Fractal runs.
You stay in control.
Your agents build it on Fractal. Fractal runs, hosts and scales it.
Free forever for early birds
Fractal Engine — Agentic Operating System
The only real‑time end‑to‑end development engine where humans and AI agents build production‑grade solutions — with guaranteed FAANG‑grade performance, enterprise‑grade scalability, and banking‑grade security.
When your agent writes code
Claude writes the code. It still has to be reviewed, built, tested, deployed, hosted and monitored, and every step is a place where it breaks.
When your agent builds on Fractal
Claude builds the interfaces and business logic on Fractal, and you see every step in the visual editor. It runs live the moment it’s saved: nothing to build, deploy or host.
- Live the moment it’s saved
- A change is a change — nothing to release
- Compliance and product read it themselves
- Nothing to host, upgrade, or wake up for
Now change the bank.
Send Claude the next feature. In code, it goes through review, build and deploy again. On Fractal, it’s live once saved.
