annexio

Annexio refers to a modular software platform designed to extend a core application with independently deployable annex modules. In technical literature and demonstrations, Annexio is used as an archetype for plugin-based extensibility, data integration, and workflow orchestration. While not a single commercial product, the term describes an architectural pattern.

Core components include a runtime engine, a core data model, and a security layer. Annex modules provide connectors to external systems, analytics components, user-interface widgets, and domain-specific logic. The platform supports event-driven interactions, and communication through standard APIs such as REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. Annex modules are versioned, isolated, and can be deployed independently, enabling teams to evolve capabilities without touching the core.

Architecture and governance: Annexio relies on a plugin-based architecture with clear boundaries between the core and each annex module. Modules declare dependencies, expose extension points, and run in isolated runtimes or sandboxes. A module catalog and dependency resolver manage packaging, versions, and compatibility. Security policies, auditing, and rollback mechanisms are integral to the lifecycle.

Applications: In educational contexts, Annexio demonstrates how modular extensions enable scalable integration across enterprise systems, data pipelines, and automation workflows. Common use cases include data ingestion from heterogeneous sources, enrichment and transformation, compliance reporting, and automated task orchestration.
