The aPaaS for logistics. Multi-tenant FSMs, schema-driven entities, extensible admin surfaces.

FastYoke Documentation

FastYoke is a single-binary, multi-tenant application platform that runs operational workloads across health systems, dealerships, field ops, sales pipelines, and back-office finance. The breadth below shows where it lands today; the four primitives further down show how every one of those workloads is built from the same parts.

What you can build

FastYoke runs across these industries today — each sector below points at a real seeded app you can install and inspect.

Healthcare & Patient Operations

Patient throughput, bed flow, and care-coordination workloads where the FSM tracks where a patient is in their journey.

  • Bed allocation and discharge planning across units
  • Triage queues that page on-call clinicians via FSM-driven actions
  • Anonymous patient intake forms feeding straight into the admission workflow
  • Compliance-grade audit log for every state change

→ See Patient Flow Yoke in the marketplace.

Automotive & Service Bays

Dealer floors, service write-ups, and repair-order lifecycles where a vehicle moves through bays, sign-offs, and parts holds.

  • Auto-dealer lead-to-customer pipeline with delivery checklists
  • Service bay scheduling and repair-order status boards
  • Tech-side labor and parts ledger that closes the loop on dealer payments
  • Multi-tenant per-dealership isolation out of the box

→ See Auto Dealer Yoke and Auto Tech Yoke in the marketplace.

Sales, CRM & Field Service

Lead-to-cash pipelines and field dispatch where the FSM is the contract between sales, ops, and the technicians on the road.

  • Lead → Opportunity → Quote → Order → Customer conversion chain with line items and payments
  • Dispatcher boards for assigning field jobs to technicians by skill or zone
  • Job lifecycles that track on-site arrival, completion, invoicing, and payment
  • Customer-facing forms for service requests that drop into the dispatch queue

→ See CRM Suite and Yoke for Field Service in the marketplace.

Operations, Inventory & Finance

Cross-cutting workloads where the FSM enforces approval, stock movement, or ledger posting rules across the rest of the platform.

  • Inventory transfers and stock-take workflows with approval gates
  • General-ledger posting rules layered on every FSM transition that touches money
  • Compliance reviews and document-collection workflows with structured audit trails
  • ETL connectors that pull external data into entities for downstream FSMs

→ See Inventory Yoke, Yoke Ledger, and Compliance Yoke in the marketplace.

The four primitives

  • Finite-state machines drive every job through operator-authored transitions. Guards are sandboxed JSONLogic; actions are declarative.
  • Schemaless entities hold your domain data as JSON payloads, with optional field-level annotations for labels, options, and constraints.
  • Forms collect data from anyone (authenticated or anonymous via public invites), validate against zod-mirrored schemas, and feed submissions back into your FSM.
  • Extensions let you ship your own React UI bundled against the platform SDK and mounted inside the admin shell.

Getting Started

Sign in, provision a tenant, build your first form, wire it to an FSM.

Accounting

Two audiences, opposite vocabulary, same product. Per-question pages for business owners and accountants — outcomes first, mechanism second.

Bulk operations

Run the same edit, delete, or FSM transition against many entity records at once. Admin-only. Always two-step — preview the change, review what would happen, then commit (or cancel).

Billing

How the platform charges you — tier subscription, metered usage, prepaid wallet, top-ups, low-balance alerts, and the Stripe portal. Numbers live on /pricing.

Compliance Yoke

Framework readiness, evidence collectors, an Auditor Room with deterministic sampling and OSCAL export, and a public Trust Center — wired into the platform you already run.

Developers

Day-1 platform invariants every API consumer needs to know, plus links to every developer surface FastYoke ships.

E-signatures

Legally-meaningful e-signatures on forms or uploaded PDFs — three modes share one sealing engine, audit chain, and public verify endpoint.

Marketplace

The catalogue of installable Yokes — what a Yoke is, free vs paid, what install seeds into your tenant, and the retention contract that says uninstall does not delete your data.

Messaging

In-platform 1:1 and group DMs scoped to a tenant, with @mentions that fire notifications, edit/delete on your own messages, and real-time updates.

Notifications

A per-user inbox of events that need your attention. Today the platform fires notifications on @mentions only; the bell is real-time and per-user.

Permissions

Roles, the permission catalog, the audit log, and the frontend builder-gating primitive.

Reports & Dashboards

Aggregate entity records into single numbers or grouped rollups, lay them out on tenant-shared dashboards, and email digests on a schedule.

Reseller billing

Channel-partner billing — rate cards, white-label invoices, statements with margin reporting, and Vendara-Connect-driven settlement. For Channel Partners reselling FastYoke to their own end customers.

Training

A self-paced 8-week intensive curriculum that condenses a full college-semester sweep of the FastYoke platform into ~160 hours. Sixteen modules, one capstone, every platform pillar.

Tutorials

End-to-end developer build flows. Mint a token, ship something live, with verifiable checkpoints at every step. Three tiers — 101 first contact, 201 production patterns, 301 extending the platform.

VS Code Extension (Beta)

Author fy-app.json with FSM validation and a live state-machine preview, right in VS Code. Download the beta build.

Yoke Ledger

A free double-entry General Ledger Yoke — Chart of Accounts, journal entries, declarative posting rules, and three financial statements your other Yokes can post into.

Yoker (AI assistant)

A RAG-powered chat assistant in the right-toolbar dock. Ask natural-language questions grounded in your entity records and text attachments. On-VM embeddings, no external API calls.

Accessibility

WCAG 2.1 AA enforced in CI, theme contrast validated on save, focus-trap modal primitive — the architectural pieces that clear institutional procurement.

Forms

Build public or authenticated forms that route submissions into entities, jobs, or both.

Workflows

Finite-state machines with sandboxed guards, declarative actions, and multi-version publishing.

Entities

Schemaless JSON records that serve as FSM guard-evaluation context.

Jobs

The runtime side of workflows — live FSM instances you fire transitions against.

Pages

Block-based workspace pages that embed FastYoke data into your operator UI.

SDK

@fastyoke/sdk — build extensions, page designer blocks, and host integrations.

Apps

Group pages under a shared slug + theme; the user-facing face of your tenant.

CLI

fy — the extension-authoring CLI.

LCAP

Low-Code Application Platform — annotation-driven entity rendering. One annotation row drives Forms v2, Page Designer, CRUD scaffolds, and `@fastyoke/next` SSR pages.

Authentication & Scopes

JWT shapes, platform vs tenant context, extension tokens, SSO.

Extensions (Install & Manage)

Upload third-party extension bundles, review scopes, activate, roll back.

Recipes

Focused walkthroughs for the common FastYoke integration patterns.

Integrations

Encrypted credential storage for outbound webhooks, Twilio, SendGrid, and custom REST endpoints.

Deprecation Policy

What a deprecated surface means, when it goes away, and how to migrate.

Engine Primitives

Where to start

See Compliance Yoke for framework readiness, evidence collectors, the Auditor Room, and the public Trust Center.

Versioning

Docs follow the deployed platform — there is no multi-version sidebar. Surfaces that are on the way out carry a visible deprecation callout with a pointer to the replacement; see the Deprecation policy for the contract.
