Frequently Asked Questions

Sailhouse is the control plane for modern event-driven systems, purpose-built for AI agents and asynchronous backends. We give your application precise control over how events are delivered, retried, filtered, and processed without the overhead of queues, brokers, or orchestration engines.

Developer Experience

How hard is it to integrate Sailhouse into my existing backend?

Integration is simple.

You can start publishing and subscribing to events with just a few lines of code. No rewrites, no ops-heavy setup. We provide SDKs for popular languages like Go, TypeScript, and more.

Do I need to rewrite my systems to use Sailhouse?

Not at all.

Sailhouse plugs into your existing architecture — giving you event-driven behavior and execution control from inside your application, not outside it.

Reliability and Performance

What guarantees does Sailhouse provide around event delivery?

Sailhouse acts as a smart event control layer. It automatically handles at-least-once delivery, retries, deduplication, and error handling. Your logic stays clean, your events stay safe.

What happens if Sailhouse goes down?

Sailhouse is designed to self-heal.

In the rare case of an outage, your events are durably stored and retried automatically. No custom failover logic or manual intervention required.

Can Sailhouse handle traffic spikes and bursts?

Yes. Sailhouse dynamically scales with your workload. Whether it's agents fanning out or user actions triggering spikes, you don't have to pre-provision infra or throttle critical flows.

Security and Trust

How does Sailhouse keep my event data secure?

All event data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

We enforce strict access controls, follow security best practices, and maintain alignment with modern compliance standards.

Is Sailhouse production-ready today?

Yes.

Sailhouse is built by engineers experienced in running high-scale, high-reliability systems. We deploy continuously, monitor obsessively, and treat uptime as a first-class concern.

Who is behind Sailhouse?

We're engineers from GitHub, Netlify, and incident.io.

We've lived through brittle queues, failing retries, and unmanageable async glue. Sailhouse is the developer-native control plane we always wanted — and now we're building it for you.

Flexibility and Costs

Am I locked into Sailhouse if I start using it?

No.

Sailhouse uses open standards and integrates cleanly with your stack. No lock-in, no proprietary formats, no surprises. Adopt what you need, evolve as you grow.

How is Sailhouse priced?

Sailhouse is affordable and usage-based — no surprise bills, no per-seat pricing.

Whether you're building a side project or scaling a production agent system, our pricing model grows with you.

Future and Evolution

Will Sailhouse evolve beyond just AI agents?

Definitely.

Sailhouse is built to support any system where async execution, resilience, and developer control are critical. Whether that's AI agents, microservices, or modern backends.

We're starting with what's hardest now, so your infrastructure doesn't have to be.
