🎯 Vapora Features

Vapora Logo

🌟 Development flows
when teams and AI agents orchestrate

Vapora is an intelligent development orchestration platform where teams and AI agents work together in continuous flow. It automates and coordinates software development lifecycle—from design and implementation through testing, documentation, and deployment—while maintaining full context and enabling intelligent decision-making at every step.

Unlike fragmented tool ecosystems, Vapora is a single, self-contained system where developers and AI agents collaborate seamlessly, complexity evaporates, and development flows naturally.

Core Value Proposition

  • ✅ Unifies task management with intelligent code context (all in one place)
  • ✅ Reduces context switching for developers (no tool jumping)
  • ✅ Makes team knowledge discoverable and actionable (searchable, organized)
  • ✅ Enables AI agents as first-class team members (12 specialized roles)
  • ✅ Self-hosted with cloud-agnostic deployment (own your data)
  • ✅ Multi-tenant by design with fine-grained access control (shared platforms)

Target Users

  • Development teams needing better coordination and visibility
  • Organizations wanting AI assistance embedded in workflow
  • Platform engineers managing shared development infrastructure
  • Enterprise teams requiring on-premise deployment and data control
  • Teams at scale needing fine-grained permissions and multi-tenancy

Agent Orchestration & Workflows

Solves: Dev-Ops Handoff Manual, Task Management Sin Inteligencia

Agents work together seamlessly without manual coordination:

  • Parallel execution: Multiple agents work on different aspects simultaneously

    • Developer writes code while Tester writes tests
    • Documenter updates docs while DevOps prepares deployment

  • Smart task assignment:

    • Based on agent expertise and availability
    • Consider agent workload and queue depth
    • Respect skill requirements of the task

  • Dependency management:

    • Automatic task ordering based on dependencies
    • Deadlock detection and resolution
    • Critical path highlighting

  • Approval gates:

    • Security agent approval for sensitive changes
    • Lead review approval before deployment
    • Multi-stage review workflows

  • Intelligent fallback:

    • If agent fails, escalate or reassign
    • Use backup LLM model if primary fails
    • Retry with exponential backoff

  • Cost optimization:

    • Track token usage per agent role
    • Route tasks to appropriate model (fast/cheap vs slow/accurate)
    • Budget alerts and optimization suggestions

Workflow Definition & Execution

Define complex workflows as YAML, Vapora executes automatically:

workflow:
  name: "Feature Implementation"
  stages:
    - architect:
        task: "Design feature architecture"
        requires: [issue_description]

    - parallel:
        - develop:
            task: "Implement feature"
            requires: [architecture]
        - test_planning:
            task: "Plan test strategy"
            requires: [architecture]

    - test:
        task: "Write and run tests"
        requires: [develop, test_planning]

    - review:
        task: "Code review"
        requires: [develop]
        approval_required: true

    - document:
        task: "Update docs"
        requires: [develop]

    - deploy:

🔌 Optional Integrations

Vapora is a complete, standalone platform. These integrations are optional—use them only if you want to connect with external systems:

External Repository Sync

Optionally sync with external repositories:

  • Periodic sync (pull data from external sources)
  • One-way or two-way sync (depending on use case)
  • Conflict resolution (when both systems have changes)
  • Mapping configuration (field mappings for different schemas)

Examples:

  • Sync tasks from external issue tracker
  • Sync pull requests to see deployment readiness
  • Sync documentation from wiki

Note: Vapora's native task management, repository browser, and documentation system eliminate the need for external tools for most teams.

External LLM Providers

Use Vapora's multi-LLM router with external providers:

  • Claude (Anthropic)
  • GPT-4 / GPT-4o (OpenAI)
  • Gemini (Google)
  • Ollama (local models)

Vapora intelligently routes tasks to the optimal provider based on:

  • Task complexity
  • Required latency
  • Cost considerations
  • Model capabilities

Note: All LLM access is configured via API keys in Vapora's secrets management. Your data stays within your deployment.

MCP Plugin System

Extend Vapora capabilities via Model Context Protocol (MCP):

  • Standard plugin interface for tools and resources
  • Community plugins for common integrations
  • Custom plugins for domain-specific needs
  • Secure execution (sandboxed)

Examples of possible plugins:

  • External repository browser
  • Issue tracker sync
  • Documentation aggregator
  • Custom notification system

Custom Webhooks & APIs

Integrate with external systems via APIs:

  • Outgoing webhooks (send events when tasks change)
  • Incoming webhooks (receive updates from external systems)
  • REST API (build custom integrations)
  • GraphQL API (if using advanced queries)
