A polyglot rules engine (Ruby, Python, Node.js) for real-time, scalable coordination of events using a Rete-based forward-chaining inference engine implemented in C. It supports rulesets, flowcharts, statecharts, and time-driven flows, with optional state offloading to external data stores like Redis.

Use cases

• evaluate business rules in real time
• build event-driven inference with forward chaining
• define statecharts and flowcharts for control flow
• correlate events from multiple sources
• build real-time analytics rules
• run complex event processing in Python, Ruby, or Node.js

When to choose

• you need forward-chaining rule evaluation with fast C-based performance
• you want a polyglot rules engine usable from Ruby, Python, or JavaScript
• you need statecharts, flowcharts, or time-driven rule flows
• you want scalable rule state offloaded to Redis or another store

When to avoid

• you need a full production-grade BRMS with a UI and decision tables
• you only need simple if/then logic without an inference engine
• you need a JVM-based rules engine like Drools with deep Java ecosystem integration
