OfficeFloor
OfficeFloor is an open-source framework that brings explicit function orchestration (Function Injection) to Spring Boot REST applications. It makes endpoint steps, sequencing, branching, and dependencies legible in YAML while retaining Spring's dependency injection, security, persistence, and actuator configuration.

Products & Services
Open-source middleware/framework based on Inversion of Coupling Control. The current presentation is an AI-augmented Spring Boot REST add-on using one YAML file per endpoint and composed functions for validation, business logic, auditing, branching, and error flows.
Maven Central starter that adds YAML REST endpoint composition to an existing Spring Boot application. Separate starters are provided for Spring Boot 3.x and 4.x, enabling progressive adoption alongside existing controllers and Spring configuration.
A merge gate and CLI that measures the structural impact of changes piling complexity onto already-complex code. It can warn or block, identify files to refactor, and run as a standalone CLI, pre-commit hook, GitHub/GitLab/Jenkins check, Python package, Docker image, or GitHub Action.
Market Position
OfficeFloor positions itself as an open-source Spring Boot add-on rather than a replacement for Spring: it preserves Spring's dependency injection and infrastructure while making endpoint orchestration explicit in YAML. Its architectural alternative to conventional Spring MVC @RestController flow is Function/Continuation Injection, and ImpactGate differentiates by measuring change impact and structural decay rather than claiming to predict defects.

Creator and public evangelist of Inversion of Coupling Control; author of the OfficeFloor design paper and speaker at DDD Perth. His public profile also lists Engineering Manager at Bankwest (2018–2023).
Founding Story
OfficeFloor was started to model real-world organizational patterns in software rather than forcing invented framework patterns onto the real world. Its underlying idea evolved into Inversion of Coupling Control, combining Dependency Injection, Continuation Injection, and Thread Injection.
Business Model
Revenue Model
OfficeFloor and ImpactGate are presented as open-source developer tools. OfficeFloor is distributed through GitHub and Maven Central under Apache 2.0; ImpactGate is distributed through GitHub, PyPI, GHCR, Docker, and CI integrations. No paid subscription or license pricing was identified in the reviewed sources.
