The Problem

CI/CD is broken

YAML hell. Thousands of lines of untyped, untestable configuration. One indent error breaks the pipeline.
Vendor lock-in. Switching CI providers means rewriting everything. Pipeline definitions are not portable.
Security gaps. Shared runners, mutable action tags, unsandboxed plugins. Supply chain attacks exploit CI/CD daily.
No local execution. Push, wait, fail, fix, push again. Developers can't test pipelines on their own machine.
The Solution

Separate the engine from the extensions

LabHit is a small Rust core — scheduling, execution isolation, event routing, policy enforcement — surrounded by an open ecosystem of WASM extensions. Each extension runs in a capability-restricted sandbox. Users install only what they need. The same binary runs locally and in production.

Why Now

Four tailwinds

1 Rust async ecosystem is stable and battle-tested
2 WASI brings cross-language plugin portability
3 Supply chain security becoming regulatory mandate
4 Platform teams need embeddable CI/CD primitives
The Ask

Seeking Seed Investment + Co-Founder

LabHit is pre-revenue with a fully operational engine, public specification, live demo, and production API. Capital will fund the founding team and first design partner engagements.

Platform Architecture

Three layers, fully modular

Extensions run in sandboxed WASM. The core engine is pure Rust. Infrastructure adapts to the deployment target. No single vendor dependency.

Built Today

This is not a pitch deck — the engine works

All five core engine subsystems operational and tested
Pipeline orchestrator with parallel execution and failure propagation
Container execution backend with full Docker lifecycle
Event publishing at five pipeline lifecycle points
Policy engine with deny-by-default gate evaluation
WASM extension runtime (JSON-over-stdio protocol)
CLI: run, serve, extension init/build/test/list
GraphQL API server (production-deployed, HTTPS)
Public specification repo and live demo at demo.labhit.dev

Revenue Model

Open core with three revenue streams

Subscriptions

Free community edition. Paid tiers add SSO, RBAC, compliance packages, and SLA guarantees. Five tiers from free to enterprise.

White-Label OEM

Brandable CI/CD engine for MSPs, cloud providers, and platform companies. Per-partner annual contracts.

Marketplace

85/15 revenue share on paid extensions. Developer ecosystem creates supply; user demand drives installs.

Pricing Tiers

Five tiers — free to enterprise

Free

Community edition. Core engine, CLI, public extensions. Unlimited local runs.

Developer Pro — $9/mo

Priority support, advanced analytics, premium extensions, cloud execution.

Team — $12/user/mo

Shared dashboards, role-based access, team pipelines, audit log.

Business — $25/user/mo

SSO/SAML, compliance reporting, SLA guarantees, dedicated support.

Enterprise — Custom

Private registries, air-gapped deployment, custom integrations, volume licensing.

Market Opportunity

$14.4B CI/CD market by 2030

The CI/CD market is growing at 15.3% CAGR. No incumbent offers WASM-sandboxed plugin isolation. LabHit targets the gap between locked-in SaaS platforms and DIY script-based pipelines.
