Boltcliq product / The private data and cloud platform
/ Runtime PlaneWhere your agents run and where their data lives, inside your boundary. Argus is a private data and cloud platform for building and deploying agentic systems, on Postgres and AWS first and portable by design.
Run the agents where your data is, not the other way round.
01Runtime plane
Agents need somewhere to run. They execute code, open browsers, call tools and store what they learn. If that happens on a developer laptop or in a shared cloud account with the rest of the company, a single mistake can reach far. And for banks, health systems and governments, where the data lives is a legal question as well as a technical one.
Argus is the runtime and the data platform for the Boltcliq stack. It packages, versions, deploys and scales agents and workflows. It runs their code and tools in isolated sandboxes, and gives computer-use agents managed virtual desktops that are recorded and can be replayed. It hosts the context and memory that Monolith governs, on Postgres as the system of record, with object storage and backups.
Argus is designed to run inside your boundary. The first target is your own AWS account, or a Boltcliq-managed single tenant if you prefer not to operate it. It is built on Kubernetes, Terraform and standard Postgres, so it can also run in local data centers and on premises. AWS is first for speed. It is not a lock. Where a customer needs in-country hosting, the design intent is a tested path there, and AWS's African footprint is checked per customer.

03In five steps
human
An agent or a Zeus workflow is packaged as a versioned release with its resources and environment settings. The release is promoted from development to staging to production. Earlier versions are kept, so you can roll back.
Release v1.3 of the reconciliation agent to staging.
argus
Choose where it runs: your own AWS account, a Boltcliq-managed single tenant, or portable infrastructure such as a local data center. The same packaging works in each.
Run in your Cape Town region account, or in a local data center when required.
argus
Code and tools execute in sandboxes with short lifetimes and no default network access. Agents that must use software with no API get a managed virtual desktop. Credentials are brokered through Odin, never typed or stored by the agent.
The agent fills a supplier portal on a recorded desktop; the password is brokered.
argus
Postgres is the system of record, with pgvector for embeddings, object storage for files, backups and point-in-time recovery. Argus hosts the vector, relational and object storage that Monolith uses for memory. Data stays where the deployment mode puts it.
Restore a database to ten minutes before a bad import.
cyclopes
Quotas, isolation and cost attribution apply per customer, environment, team and agent. Runtime telemetry and session recordings go to Cyclopes. If an evaluation shows a regression, you roll the release back.
Roll back to v1.2 after an evaluation regression.
04What Argus does
Package, version, deploy, scale and roll back agents and workflows. Releases move through environments with review. The same mechanism runs Zeus workflows and the agents that Monolith governs.
Agents change often. Deployment has to make change safe and reversible.
Isolated environments where code and tools run. The design target is microVM-class isolation, no default network egress and a lifetime tied to the task. If a sandboxed agent is tricked or wrong, the damage is limited to a small, short-lived space.
Sandboxes and desktops are the highest-risk surface in the platform, so they get their own threat model.
Managed desktop and browser machines for agents that must work in software with no API, such as a supplier portal or a government site. Sessions are recorded and can be replayed. Credentials come from Odin and are never held by the agent.
Much of African business software has no API, and people already work in it by hand.
Relational, vector and object storage for the context and memory that Monolith governs. Argus hosts it, and Monolith decides who may read it and what may be written. Memory inherits the residency of the deployment.
Memory is customer data. It should live where the rest of that data lives.
Postgres as the system of record, with pgvector, backups and point-in-time recovery. It holds the ontology early on, and anything that needs transactions.
Standard Postgres means standard skills, and no lock-in.
Per-customer and per-environment isolation, with quotas and cost attribution. A development agent cannot touch production data. Cost can be attributed per team and agent, which supports usage-based pricing. The pricing model is not yet fixed.
AI spending can grow quickly, and in dollars. It needs to be visible and capped.
Development, staging and production environments for agents, workflows and data schemas. Promotion is reviewed. The environments share the same packaging, so what you tested is what you run.
It stops experiments from reaching customers by accident.
Your own AWS account (a VPC), a Boltcliq-managed single tenant, or portable infrastructure, using Kubernetes, Terraform and standard Postgres. A path to African data centers and to on-premises is part of the design. Which modes are generally available is stated honestly at each release.
Sovereignty needs a real answer to where the data sits. Our target is for the answer to be testable.
05
Boltcliq wants to run where customers need us to. That includes your own AWS account, and also local data centers and on-premises infrastructure when a regulator or a contract requires it. The technical rule that makes this possible is simple: use the cloud for capacity, but build on standards.
Argus uses Kubernetes for packaging, Terraform for infrastructure and standard Postgres for data. We use AWS to move fast. We avoid services that exist only on AWS, so that the same platform can be installed elsewhere. This is a design rule and a goal. The move to a given local data center is verified with the customer and the partner, not assumed.

06Sectors
Situation
A bank wants to run agents and a data platform, but the central bank requires certain customer data to stay in country. The bank also wants to avoid sharing a cloud account with other firms.
What it does
Argus runs in the bank's own AWS account, or on premises where the rule demands it. Postgres holds the system of record and agent memory in the chosen location. Sandboxes keep agent code inside the boundary.
Human decides
The bank's risk and legal teams decide where data may live. The platform team decides which agents are promoted to production.

09Trust
Agent sandboxes and desktops get their own threat model: egress control, credential brokering through Odin, session recording and strict limits.
AWS first, portable by design. The intent is that "your data never leaves your jurisdiction" is a tested feature, not a slogan.
Per-customer and per-environment isolation, with resource and time limits for every sandbox.
Desktop sessions are recorded and sent to Cyclopes, so what an agent did can be replayed.
