Substrate
Lancaster Systems Automation's autonomous software-development system.
Substrate is Data 26's autonomous software-development system. It takes a written specification and produces deployed, working software — directed by a human, without manual coding.
What Substrate produces
Real software, designed and deployed live from a specification.
Full-stack web applications
Complete web applications, with their backends — designed, built, and taken live so they serve real users.
Native iOS clients
Native iOS applications, with their backends — designed, built, and deployed so the client runs on device against a live service.
Each is produced from a specification under human direction. No one writes the application code by hand.
The workflow
From a written specification to a running application, then through each iteration after it.
Specification
A written description of the software to build — what it should do, how it should behave, the surface it should present to its users.
Designed and built
Substrate produces the application end-to-end from the specification: the interface the user sees, the application code, and the backend that runs it — under human direction, without anyone writing the application code by hand.
Deployed and running
The finished software goes live and is reachable to its intended users. The backend is up, the interface is open, the application is in use.
Iteration
New specifications evolve the running software. Substrate carries each change through the same arc — designed, built, deployed — and the live application keeps moving.
