Platform Architecture

Vistara is built on a layered architecture that provides the infrastructure needed for AI agent execution, workflow automation, and scalable development.

Vistara OS Layer

AI Agent Runtime

Workflow Engine

Architecture Overview

Vistara's architecture is designed to provide a robust, scalable foundation for AI-powered applications. The platform consists of multiple layers that work together to enable efficient AI agent execution and workflow automation.

Core Platform Components

System Architecture Layers

Application Layer

• AI Agents: Intelligent agents that can understand, reason, and act
• Workflows: Automated business processes and task sequences
• Development Tools: Integrated development environment and APIs
• User Interface: Web-based dashboard and management console

Zara Platform Layer

• Agent Runtime: Execution environment for AI agents
• Workflow Engine: Workflow creation and execution engine
• API Gateway: Unified API interface for external integration
• Service Mesh: Inter-service communication and routing

Vistara OS Layer

• Process Management: Process lifecycle and resource allocation
• Memory Management: Dynamic memory allocation and optimization
• File System: Virtual file system with persistent storage
• Network Stack: Network protocols and security
• Security Layer: Multi-layer security and isolation

Zara Platform Integration

Zara is built on top of Vistara OS and provides high-level abstractions for AI agent development and workflow automation.

Integration Architecture

Key Integration Points

• Resource Management: Zara requests resources from Vistara OS
• Process Isolation: Secure separation between different agents
