In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are constantly battling operational complexity. Processes are fragmented, logic is trapped in spreadsheets and legacy systems, and manual handoffs create bottlenecks, errors, and delays. We've mastered Infrastructure-as-Code to automate our servers and deployments, but what about the core business operations themselves?
Enter Business-as-Code, a revolutionary approach that applies the principles of software development—versioning, automation, and modularity—to your business workflows. It's about transforming abstract processes into tangible, executable code.
This paradigm shift moves your operations from brittle, hard-to-track manual systems to a world where business logic becomes discoverable, manageable, and consumable Services-as-Software. And at the heart of this transformation is the need for a central nervous system: a unified service registry.
So, you've defined a complex business workflow, like customer KYC (Know Your Customer), as code. That's a huge step forward. But how do other teams and applications actually use it? Do they need to understand the underlying code? How do they discover it even exists?
Without a proper management layer, even the most elegant Business-as-Code becomes another silo. The code is the how, but what developers and business units need is the what—a simple, standardized endpoint to get the job done.
This is precisely where a service registry like services.do comes in. It acts as the central catalog for all your agentic business services, turning your coded workflows into discoverable API products.
services.do is built on a fundamental distinction that unlocks incredible power:
When you deploy a workflow using Business-as-Code on the .do platform, it's automatically registered as a standardized Service. This turns a complex operation into a simple, composable building block.
The services.do approach streamlines your entire operational lifecycle, which can be broken down into three key phases.
Forget hunting through wikis or asking in Slack channels for the "official" way to perform a business task. The service registry is your single source of truth. With our SDKs, you can programmatically list and search for any service you have access to, enabling dynamic integration within your applications.
See how simple it is to discover available services:
import { Do } from '@do-inc/sdk';
// Initialize the .do client
const बिंदु = new Do(process.env.DO_API_KEY);
// List all available services in the registry
const services = await बिंदु.services.list();
console.log(services);
// {
// "data": [
// { "id": "svc_123", "name": "kyc.do", ... },
// { "id": "svc_456", "name": "geocode.do", ... }
// ],
// ...
// }
This code snippet doesn't just return a list; it unlocks the potential for applications that can dynamically adapt by discovering and binding to new business capabilities as they come online.
Once discovered, a service needs to be consumed. services.do exposes every agentic service—no matter how simple or complex—through a unified API. This means your development team uses the exact same integration pattern to geocode an address as they do to execute a multi-step, AI-powered customer onboarding workflow. This consistency drastically reduces development time and integration fragility.
By abstracting business logic into composable Services-as-Software, you create a foundation for unprecedented scale. You can now build sophisticated applications by orchestrating simple API calls to your managed services. Need to update your KYC process? Update the underlying workflow, deploy a new version of the service, and every application consuming it will seamlessly adopt the new logic. This is the power of turning your entire business into a modular, API-driven platform.
Q: What is services.do?
A: services.do is the central registry for the .do platform. It allows you to discover, manage, and interact with all available agentic workflows and business services as standardized software endpoints.
Q: How do I add a new service to the registry?
A: Services are created by defining Agentic Workflows using Business-as-Code. Once a workflow is deployed, it's automatically registered and becomes a discoverable and consumable API via services.do.
Q: What is the difference between a Service and a Workflow?
A: A Workflow is the underlying business logic defined as code. A Service is the discoverable, managed, and versioned API endpoint for that workflow, exposed through the services.do registry. It turns the process (Workflow) into a product (Service).
Q: Can I list all services programmatically?
A: Yes, using our SDKs, you can easily list, search, and get details for any service you have access to. This enables dynamic service discovery and integration within your applications.
Business-as-Code is more than just automation; it's a fundamental rethinking of how we build and scale businesses. By codifying your logic and exposing it through a unified service registry like services.do, you transform your operations from a rigid cost center into a flexible, scalable, and innovative platform.
