InRule for software developer engineers
Software developer engineers are responsible for embedding decision logic, processes, and integrations into applications that must be reliable and scalable. They need tools that reduce coding overhead, support testing and debugging, and integrate easily with enterprise systems.
Software developer engineer challenges
Software developer engineers face the burden of embedding, testing, and debugging complex decision logic without slowing delivery or increasing technical debt.
Embedding logic in applications
Developers often end up hardcoding decision logic, creating duplication across services and making it harder to update or test.
Debugging and testing
When decision logic is opaque, troubleshooting errors and regression issues can consume valuable time and introduce risk.
Integration overhead
Building and maintaining integrations with enterprise systems like Salesforce, Dynamics, or Snowflake can be complex, especially when rules need to run close to the data.
Developing smarter applications with InRule
InRule gives developers the ability to extend, embed, and test decision logic with the same tools used by analysts and architects. The irSDK supports deep customization and automation of rule lifecycle tasks. The JavaScript runtime lets teams run the same rules in browsers, mobile apps, or Snowflake procedures, bringing rules to the data instead of moving data around. With features like Visual Trace and regression testing, developers can trust their rules, test effectively, and deploy with confidence.
Runtime options
Rules can run natively in .NET or JavaScript. The JavaScript runtime supports ECMAScript-compatible environments, making it easy to execute rules client-side, in mobile apps, or inside big data platforms.
Testing and tracing tools
irVerify, Visual Trace, and regression testing provide visibility into rule behavior. Developers can debug quickly, reduce errors, and ensure quality before production.
SDK extensibility
The irSDK allows developers to programmatically generate RuleApps, automate changes across environments, and embed the rule engine directly into applications. Teams can extend irAuthor with custom panels, role-specific UIs, or lifecycle automation, tailoring InRule to enterprise workflows.
Modeling enhancements
Vocabulary templates and decision tables give developers and analysts a shared way to define rules. Developers can configure Vocabulary to match domain-specific language, while decision tables simplify the management of complex, branching logic.
Integration options
Dynamic Swagger documentation simplifies connecting InRule decision services to external apps. Prebuilt connectors exist for Salesforce and Dynamics, while REST APIs, SDKs, and JavaScript allow developers to embed rules flexibly across modern stacks.
High-volume execution
InRule’s runtime execution engine is tuned for performance, delivering decisions in the low tens of milliseconds. In scale-out environments, it has been proven to process millions of transactions per hour without degradation, supporting mission-critical systems.
Observability and reporting
Rule Application Reports, Points of Interest, and execution logs provide transparency into how rules run. Developers can capture system behavior, troubleshoot effectively, and maintain an auditable trail of every decision.
How developers use InRule
Embed decision logic
Developers use the irSDK and APIs to embed rules directly into applications, reducing the need to hardcode complex logic across services.
Configure and extend
Vocabulary templates, decision tables, and irAuthor extensions allow developers to tailor rules and align them with domain-specific language and workflows.
Run rules anywhere
Rules execute natively in .NET or in the JavaScript runtime, which supports browsers, mobile apps, and Snowflake procedures — bringing rules to the data instead of moving the data.
Test and debug
irVerify, Visual Trace, and regression testing provide full visibility into how rules execute, making it easier to debug issues and prevent errors from reaching production.
Deploy and observe
Hot-swap versioning, rollback safeguards, and audit-ready reporting ensure developers can release updates safely while maintaining transparency into every decision.

Bart Daams: Regulatory Affairs & Compliance ManagerDevelopers can use the irSDK to automate rule updates, customize irAuthor, or embed the rule engine in .NET projects. They can also create extensions to fit team-specific workflows.
Yes. The JavaScript runtime allows rules to run in browsers, mobile apps, and Snowflake procedures. Developers can write rules once in irAuthor and execute them consistently in both .NET and JavaScript engines.
Tools like irVerify, Visual Trace, and regression testing provide step-by-step insight into rule execution, helping developers find and fix issues quickly.
No. InRule combines business rules, process automation, and explainable machine learning. Developers can embed all three in applications to deliver governed, scalable, and transparent decisioning.
InRule supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments. Rules can run natively in .NET or JavaScript, making them portable across modern architectures without lock-in.
