Introduction
What is PlatformXe and what can it do for your application.
PlatformXe is an infrastructure-as-a-service platform that provides the shared services every application needs — messaging, storage, authorization, identity resolution, and more — so you can focus on your domain logic instead of rebuilding infrastructure.
Powered by Caldera. Nigeria-first, with global ambition.
What you get
PlatformXe exposes 10 production-ready services through a single API key:
| Service | What it does |
|---|---|
| Transactional Email | Multi-provider fallback with circuit breakers and persistent retry queue |
| SMS & WhatsApp | Multi-provider delivery chain with automatic failover |
| File Storage | Upload, moderate, and serve files with access control |
| PDF Generation | Server-side rendering from HTML templates |
| Webhook Dispatch | Outbound delivery with retry and dead-letter queue |
| Workflow Engine | Event-driven automation with trigger matching and action execution |
| OCR | Text extraction from images and documents |
| ID Verification | Identity document verification with automated checks (BVN, NIN, liveness, face-match, account-name) |
| Identity Resolution | Country-pluggable resolver (NG / KE / GH / ZA) with per-(country, provider) circuit breakers, latency tracking, and a dead-letter queue |
| Authorization Engine | RBAC + ABAC + ReBAC + Federation — full authorization-as-a-service |
How it works
PlatformXe is a dumb pipe for messaging and storage. Your application owns its templates, business logic, and domain decisions. PlatformXe receives ready-to-send payloads and dispatches them reliably.
The Authorization Engine is the exception — it is a domain service that tenants configure directly through the API and Portal UI.
Key principles
- Multi-tenant by default. Every organization gets isolated resources, scoped API keys, and per-tenant billing.
- Multi-provider fallback. Messaging services automatically fail over between providers with circuit breakers — you never manage provider credentials.
- Event-driven. Every mutation emits a typed event you can subscribe to via webhooks or event subscriptions.
- Nigeria-first pricing. All plans are priced in Naira (NGN) with 7.5% VAT included.
