Runtime engineering case study
Building Nikxius Runtime: Execution Control and Recovery
How I built Nikxius Runtime: exact-action authorization, Kubernetes rollback, recovery after lost replies, portable evidence, and design-partner onboarding.

Nikhil Sood
Forward Deployed Engineer and founder of Nikxius. I build AI systems with explicit authority, testable behavior, and recovery when operations fail.
Built and internally tested Nikxius Runtime: exact-action authorization, native precondition checks, durable dispatch, and recovery after lost replies. The first design-partner workflow is a permitted Kubernetes image rollback in one nonproduction environment. Independent customer validation remains ahead.
