Minyu – Flexible Information Management Platform
"Minyu is a back-office information management and resource allocation platform for managing, sharing, and processing information."
Who is it for
Minyu is for organizations that need a flexible information system without the cost and risk of building a fully bespoke solution. It’s well suited for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets, struggle with poorly integrated off-the-shelf tools, or want a reliable foundation for structured data and operational processes.
It assumes at least one person who is comfortable reasoning about structure, rules, and relationships—and who values correctness and long-term stability over quick setup.
Design philosophy
Minyu is built around the five components every business information system inevitably consists of: a structured data model, rules and logic, views for interaction, integration surfaces, and domain-specific processing.
Minyu standardizes and stabilizes the first four by making them declarative, centralized, and derived from a single schema. Structure defines behavior, rules are enforced uniformly across all entry points, views are generated from data patterns rather than hardcoded screens, and integrations are always consistent with the internal model.
Domain-specific processing is intentionally kept outside the platform and connected through clean interfaces, keeping the system predictable, maintainable, and resilient as complexity grows.

What do you get
Reliability you can rely on
Minyu is delivered as a fully managed platform where reliability and security are built in. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is controlled through integrated authentication, and the system is designed to tolerate restarts and infrastructure events. Regular backups are performed as part of normal operation.

A data model that represents your organization
Minyu is built on a proven, configurable relational data model. This makes it possible to represent complex real-world domains using structures that are well understood and stable over time.

Classifications as first-class system logic
Classifications provide a uniform way to assign meaning to data based on values, relationships, and logical combinations. They are continuously re-evaluated as data or time changes and form a shared foundation for access control, validation, filtering, search, and automation.
By expressing state and conditions declaratively, Minyu keeps business logic consistent, inspectable, and reusable across the entire system.
→ Read more: Classifications
Declarative, real-world business rules
Minyu supports declarative business rules that can traverse relationships and evaluate real operational conditions—who may perform an action, under what conditions, and based on which related data. The same rules are enforced consistently across the user interface and API.
→ Read more: Business Rules
Fine-grained access control
Read access in Minyu is defined using declarative rule-based conditions attached to the data model. The same logic is applied consistently across lists, search, APIs, charts, and exports.
A global optimistic or pessimistic read policy determines whether data is visible by default or must be explicitly allowed.
→ Read more: Business Rules
Constraint-based scheduling
Scheduling in Minyu is based on the same rule and relation model as the rest of the system—not a separate calendar subsystem. Availability, constraints, and multi-resource dependencies are evaluated together so that only valid time slots are presented.
→ Read more: Booking and Scheduling
Reusable schedules applied across resources
Schedules are defined once and can be assigned to multiple resources such as people, rooms, or equipment. This allows complex availability patterns—shifts, opening hours, operational windows—to be reused consistently while still being evaluated per resource.
→ Read more: Booking and Scheduling
Model-driven system behavior
System behavior and interfaces in Minyu are derived directly from the data model and rules. Forms, views, validation, and access control are generated automatically instead of being implemented and maintained separately.
This reduces time to market as models and rules evolve.
→ Read more: Model-driven System
Universal, context-aware search
Minyu provides a single, context-aware search across the entire system. Users do not choose where to search—results are evaluated globally, with relevance and relationships influencing how results are ranked and presented.
→ Read more: Operational Interface
A workspace designed for professional use
Minyu is designed for continuous back-office work with complex, related information. It supports parallel, side-by-side work with multiple views, inline editing, and preserved working context across sessions.
→ Read more: Operational Interface
Schema-based multi-dimensional charts
Charts in Minyu are defined directly against the data model and its relationships and evaluated under the same read rules as the rest of the system. Analytical views stay aligned with operational structure instead of being copied into reporting silos.
→ Read more: Operational Interface
Structured data exchange without breaking relationships
Imports and exports operate on full, structured models, allowing bulk updates, corrections, and migrations while preserving referential integrity—even when relationships change.
Imports are validated and reviewed before execution. Exports represent point-in-time snapshots evaluated under the requesting user’s access rights.
→ Read more: Structured Data Exchange
A rule-aware GraphQL API
Minyu exposes an automatically generated GraphQL API that mirrors the data model and relationships without custom resolvers or duplicated logic.
API access always executes in the context of an authenticated user or integration account, enforcing the same rules and constraints as interactive use.
→ Read more: API
Event notifications based on meaning
Notifications can be triggered by semantic state changes—such as a classification changing outcome—or by specific mutations across related data. External systems receive signals about what changed and why, not just that something was updated.
→ Read more: Event Notifications
Built-in compliance and traceability
Compliance and traceability are embedded directly into the data model and execution pipeline. Minyu provides structured GDPR exports, controlled anonymization or deletion, and immutable audit trails spanning full relational context.
All changes are recorded with transaction-level precision, enabling reliable audits and post-incident analysis without parallel logging systems.
→ Read more: Compliance and Traceability
What makes Minyu different
At the center of Minyu’s design is a pragmatic principle:
Generalize where possible. Specialize where needed.
Minyu standardizes the hard, recurring parts of business systems—structured data, rules, access control, scheduling, interfaces, and integrations—so organizations can move faster without sacrificing correctness or maintainability.
At the same time, domain-specific behavior is expected to vary and is supported through explicit integration points rather than hidden abstractions.
Who Minyu is not for
Minyu is not a lightweight, plug-and-play tool or a simple spreadsheet replacement. It is not designed for zero-configuration use or very basic needs.
It is intended for teams that value structure, clarity, and long-term reliability over instant setup.
