Superfast Rules Engine Built for Real-Time Decisions

Experience performance-first rules engine that scales with your needs.

Higson performance

Business Rules Engine Without Limits

Higson is designed for high-performance rule processing, ensuring that even the most complex decision logic executes in real time. Whether handling thousands of transactions per second, processing large-scale datasets, or minimizing infrastructure costs, Higson provides unmatched speed, scalability, and efficiency.

Instant Decisions:

4 Premium Calculations in 1/ms

Shorter response times allow companies to deliver immediate premium offers or quotes, improving customer satisfaction. Higson can handle 4 complete premium calculations in just 1 millisecond.

Massive Throughput

9 000 API/s

Higson supports high-load rule processing with ease, executing over 9,000 API calls per second. That’s 18x more than traditional engines, enabling real-time decisions even during system peaks.

Low Resource Consumption

47% lower memory consumption

Even with large decision tables (1M+ rows), Higson keeps memory usage low - up to 47% less than previous version, reducing infrastructure costs and improving scalability, without extra hardware.

Faster Rule Execution:

4 Premium Calculations in 1/ms

Full rule logic execution including 40+ functions and over 100 table lookups takes just 0.23 millisecond. Faster rules mean faster responses, more efficient operations, and better UX.

Benefits

What Benefits You Can Gain:

From reduced infrastructure costs to faster decision cycles. Higson
brings real performance gains where it matters.

Infrastructure savings

Reduced memory consumption translates into lower demands on computing power and storage space. Companies can save on hardware and cloud server rental costs.  

Improved efficiency:

Optimizations that lead to lower memory consumption allow systems to run more efficiently, which consequently improves application response times and enables faster data processing

Greater scalability:

Lower memory consumption allows larger volumes of data to be handled with lower hardware requirements, which is beneficial for companies that process large data sets, such as in the financial or e-commerce sectors.

Operational savings:

Reducing computing times leads to operational cost savings. Faster calculations mean less computing power is required at the server level, reducing IT infrastructure costs.
