Federation

Federation is the path from single-runtime execution to coordinated multi-node and multi-organization execution.

What this means

Federation is a platform architecture path for controlled distributed execution across boundaries.

Why it matters

Large organizations and partner ecosystems often need:

  • execution across multiple nodes
  • collaboration across multiple organizations
  • policy continuity over trust boundaries
  • federated evidence for review

How Subbasis handles it

Federation is described as a controlled execution model where durable workflows can coordinate across distributed contexts while preserving governance semantics.

Core themes:

  • remote trust negotiation
  • policy enforcement across boundaries
  • federated evidence handling
  • workflow continuity in distributed execution

Example scenario

Agency + client shared operation:

  • agency handles campaign execution step
  • client system validates compliance gate
  • runtime preserves workflow continuity and evidence linkage across boundaries

What to configure

  • trust and identity boundaries
  • cross-node policy expectations
  • approval authority mapping
  • evidence synchronization approach

Limits and deployment notes

  • Federation should be described as an architecture path.
  • Do not assume universal full availability unless implementation in your environment confirms it.
  • Advanced distributed behavior can be plan/deployment dependent.
