# Company overview

Union.ai was founded to enable enterprises to build, deploy, and govern reliable AI/ML workflows at scale.
The platform is built on Flyte, a widely-adopted open-source workflow orchestration system originally developed at Lyft and now trusted by organizations including Spotify, LinkedIn, Freenome, Artera, and Lyft.

## Platform capabilities

* **Workflow orchestration:** Strongly-typed, reproducible workflows for ML training, data processing, and model deployment pipelines
* **Enterprise governance:** Role-based access control, audit trails, and compliance-ready deployment models
* **Kubernetes native:** Union.ai's architecture integrates natively with Kubernetes, the industry-standard container orchestration system.
* **Multi-cloud support:** Deploy compute planes on AWS, GCP, or Azure with consistent security guarantees
* **Observability:** Built-in metrics, logging, and cost tracking for full pipeline visibility
* **Agentic workflows:** Support for complex, multistep automated workflows and applications with guardrails

## Deployment models

Union.ai offers multiple deployment models to meet varying enterprise requirements. This document describes the security architecture and controls common to all deployment models, written primarily from the self-managed perspective.
