Architecture gets harder to see
As repositories grow and teams change code quickly, architecture intent becomes less visible than feature delivery pressure.
Product
Keep software architecture visible, enforceable, and measurable across repositories and teams.
ArchPilot is a local-first architecture governance platform. Validation runs locally in VS Code and the CLI, while ArchPilot Cloud stores only architecture metadata for governance, visibility, and history.
Operating model
Local validation
VS Code and CLI run deterministic validation in the developer workflow.
Cloud governance
Cloud organizes findings, scores, policies, exceptions, ownership, and history.
Metadata-only sync
No source code is synced. Only architecture metadata is stored in ArchPilot Cloud.
The architecture visibility problem
Architecture becomes harder to see as repositories multiply and teams ship faster.
Architecture drift rarely arrives as one dramatic break. It builds gradually when reviews do not scale, team context fragments, and fast delivery outpaces architectural visibility.
Reviews do not scale
Manual reviews and tribal knowledge cannot keep up with repository sprawl, AI-assisted changes, and continuous delivery.
Drift needs measurement
Teams need architecture visibility, governance signals, and durable measurement instead of one-off conversations about standards.
Local-first architecture validation
Validation runs locally in VS Code and the CLI, not in a hosted scanner.
ArchPilot keeps validation close to the code so developers can work offline, get deterministic results, and use the same validation flow locally and in CI.
Runs where developers work
The VS Code extension and CLI validate architecture locally so developers get feedback before they push or open a pull request.
Deterministic and offline
Validation does not depend on a hosted scanning service. Teams can work offline and still get the same deterministic results.
Consistent from laptop to CI
The same local validation flow can run in CI, which keeps architecture enforcement consistent across developer workflows and automated pipelines.
Cloud governance workspace
Cloud is where architecture metadata becomes a shared governance record.
Local tools validate. ArchPilot Cloud organizes the resulting findings, scores, trends, policies, exceptions, ownership context, and multi-repository visibility.
Repository architecture visibility
Track governed repositories, synced findings, and architecture posture in a shared workspace instead of relying on local results alone.
Scores, trends, and history
Review repository scores and snapshot history over time so architecture changes stay measurable and visible beyond a single run.
Policies, exceptions, and ownership
Coordinate architecture governance with policy results, exception workflows, and ownership context across teams and repositories.
Security and privacy
Your source code never leaves your environment.
ArchPilot Cloud does not store source code. Only architecture metadata is synced, which makes the product a better fit for security-conscious engineering organizations.
Use the cloud workspace for visibility and governance while maintaining clear source code handling boundaries for security, IP, and compliance.
Architecture metadata examples
- Findings and issues
- Repository architecture summaries
- Scores and trend snapshots
- Policy results and exceptions
- Governance and ownership context
AI-assisted development
Move fast with AI and vibe coding without losing architecture control.
AI-assisted development increases delivery speed, but it also increases the risk of architecture drift and broken boundaries. ArchPilot helps teams keep governance signals visible even when code is changing quickly.
Faster code changes increase drift risk
AI-assisted development and vibe coding help teams move quickly, but they also make it easier for architecture boundaries and rules to erode silently.
Catch architectural issues early
ArchPilot keeps architecture checks in the local developer workflow so fast-moving teams see problems before changes spread across the codebase.
Keep governance signals visible
Findings, scores, trends, and ownership context remain visible in the cloud workspace even when repositories are changing rapidly.
Key capabilities
Current product capabilities in ArchPilot Cloud.
These are the current capabilities reflected in the workspace and governance APIs today.
Architecture validation
Run architecture checks through local tooling without moving validation into the cloud.
Findings and issues
Review synced findings and issue detail in a shared governance workspace.
Repository scores
Track architecture scores and posture as durable governance signals.
History and trends
Keep snapshot history over time so architectural drift and improvement stay measurable.
Policies and exceptions
Manage policy outcomes and approved exceptions as part of the operational governance record.
Ownership and multi-repository visibility
Connect repositories to teams and systems and view architecture posture across the organization.
Governance workspace
Use a shared cloud workspace to organize architecture metadata across repositories, teams, and time.
How it works
A short view of the ArchPilot workflow.
Run validation locally, generate architecture metadata, sync that metadata to the cloud workspace, and govern from a shared history of architecture signals.
01
Run validation locally
Developers use the ArchPilot VS Code extension or CLI to validate architecture directly in their own environment.
02
Generate findings and metadata
The local validation run produces findings, scores, rule outcomes, and repository architecture metadata.
03
Sync metadata to Cloud
Only the governance metadata is synced to ArchPilot Cloud. The cloud does not need source code to store and organize the results.
04
Govern from shared history
Teams use the cloud workspace for visibility, policies, exceptions, ownership, and architecture history across repositories.
Get started
Give fast-moving engineering teams architecture visibility and governance.
Start with local validation, keep source code in your own environment, and use ArchPilot Cloud as the shared governance layer.
