Decision Automation Software for .NET Applications

A high-performance decision management platform that lets business teams define decision logic, while developers deploy it safely at scale.

Code Effects Software

Code Effects is a decision automation and business rules platform for .NET that helps organizations externalize, manage, and evaluate complex decision logic without hard-coding it into applications.

Replace brittle if/else logic with centrally managed and testable decision rules, executed in real time inside your services and APIs.

Code Effects platform consisting of:

  • A web-based Rule Editor for defining decision logic using structured, natural-language-like conditions
  • A high-performance Rule Engine for evaluating decisions inside .NET applications
  • Thread-safe, stateless runtime suitable for high-concurrency services
  • Built-in rule-to-query conversion that turns decision logic into LINQ filters for live data sets
  • Schema-validated Rule XML for predictable rule evaluation and long-term compatibility
  • Support for complex logical grouping and nested conditions (parentheses)
  • Integration with Entity Framework, LINQ to SQL, and in-memory collections
  • Flexible deployment for on-prem, cloud, and hybrid architectures
  • APIs designed for microservices, background workers, and batch jobs
  • Optional source code licensing for organizations that require full control

Decisions are authored once and reused across applications, services, workflows, and data pipelines without duplicating logic or embedding business policy into code.

Decision Automation Without Hard-Coding

With Code Effects, decision logic is:

  • Authored and maintained outside application source code
  • Stored as structured, schema-validated XML, not embedded scripts
  • Centrally managed and shared across multiple applications and services
  • Testable using real business data before production deployment
  • Deployable without recompiling or redeploying application binaries
  • Executed consistently across APIs, background jobs, and batch processes
  • Isolated from UI and workflow code for clean system architecture
  • Updatable by authorized users without developer intervention

This approach reduces deployment risk, shortens change cycles, and ensures that business policy is applied consistently wherever decisions are executed.

This makes it ideal for:

  • Eligibility and qualification decisions
  • Risk and compliance logic
  • Pricing and discount strategies
  • Routing and workflow decisions
  • Dynamic data filtering

Built for Performance. Usable by Business.

Code Effects is designed for systems where decisions must execute at production scale, while still allowing non-developers to manage policy logic safely and independently.

Built for Performance and Reliability

  • Native in-process .NET execution with no remote rule calls or external services
  • Optimized evaluation engine designed for high-throughput and low-latency workloads
  • Deterministic execution with no probabilistic or AI-based decision paths
  • Thread-safe, stateless runtime suitable for multi-tenant and parallel processing
  • Supports batch processing and real-time transaction flows
  • No external infrastructure required to execute decisions

Usable by Business & Analysts

  • Web-based Rule Editor with:

  • No coding required to update policies or thresholds
  • Test and simulate decisions using real or sample business data
  • Immediate rule deployment without application rebuilds

Enterprise-Grade Architecture

Code Effects is built to operate inside production systems where reliability, performance, and deployment flexibility are critical. It integrates directly into your application stack without introducing new runtime services, external rule servers, or vendor-hosted execution layers.

In-Process Execution

Rules execute directly inside your .NET applications with no external services, no network calls, and no additional runtime infrastructure required.

Web and API Integration

Use the same decision logic across web apps, REST APIs, and background services to ensure consistent behavior throughout all application layers.

Microservices Friendly

Deploy rules within each service or shared libraries while maintaining independent scaling, deployment, and versioning strategies across distributed systems.

Cloud and On-Prem Support

Run the same rule engine in cloud platforms, private data centers, or hybrid environments without changing your application architecture.

LINQ-Based Data Filtering

Convert rules into LINQ predicates to filter datasets directly in memory or at the database level using Entity Framework or LINQ to SQL.

Stateless and Scalable

Thread-safe, stateless execution allows horizontal scaling, containerized deployments, and predictable performance under high concurrency.

CI/CD Compatible

Rules and applications can be tested and deployed independently within standard DevOps pipelines and release workflows.

Secure and Deterministic

All decisions execute deterministically with no external dependencies, ensuring predictable results, easier audits, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Flexible Rule Storage

Load rules from databases, APIs, or file systems, and cache them efficiently to support both real-time and batch processing workloads.
