Foundry

Foundry is a production-grade backend generator designed to eliminate the manual translation tax that forces engineers to spend over 40 hours manually scaffolding boilerplate architecture from database diagrams. By automating the jump from visual entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) to fully typed workspaces, Foundry delivers extreme engineering velocity with zero AI hallucinations. The application leverages a strict, 4-stage deterministic pipeline. First, the IBM watsonx.ai Llama 3.2 90B Vision model (configured at 0.1 temperature) extracts visual schema details using 3 robust engineering fallback parsing strategies to handle LLM output fragility. Next, Foundry converts the JSON output into a strongly-typed ERDAST (Abstract Syntax Tree), applies a 7-step automated validation layer to normalize nomenclature and infer bidirectional inverse relations, and passes it to 5 pure functional code generators. The output is a complete enterprise bundle containing structured Prisma schemas, over 55 functional Next.js 14 App Router CRUD endpoints, automated runtime Zod validations, and a multi-stage production Dockerfile. Built completely in a 48-hour sprint, the entire system was co-architected alongside the IBM Bob IDE, which scaffolded our secure IAM token workflows and optimized our parsing logic.
