Why Most Internal Rule Engines Can’t Keep Up

Building in-house might seem cost-efficient—until it isn’t. Internal tools often look flexible at first, but fail to keep pace with real-world business needs.

Build Never Stops Icon
'Build' never stops
What starts as a simple rule engine turns into a full-blown system: pipelines, infra, data handling, deployments, test orchestration. You're not building a tool—you’re building a product you'll have to maintain forever.
Engineering vs Business Velocity Icon
Engineering ≠ Business Velocity
Only a fraction of the work is logic. The rest is scaffolding. Business teams still depend on dev bandwidth for every update, so agility suffers, and backlog grows.
Cost Over Time Icon
It’s Not Cheaper in the Long Run
Open source isn’t free once you add infrastructure, developer hours, and scaling challenges. By year two, the “savings” vanish, replaced by ongoing overhead and firefighting.
No Interface for Business Icon
No Interface for Business Teams
Homegrown tools lack access controls, audit logs, or a usable UI. So, business users wait on Jira tickets, and engineers become bottlenecks for every small rule change.

Not Just Inefficient—In-House Rule Engines Are Costly Too

Before you commit engineering hours and budget to building a decision engine—or wiring Drools into production—pause and run the numbers.

They Built Internally. Then Moved to Nected.

Real teams tried building internal solutions. Here’s what happened next.

Greg R.

Tech Lead, Sidecar Health (Healthcare · 500+ Employees)

"Our internal system was flexible—but painfully slow to update."
"We built a basic rule engine in-house to manage pricing rules. It gave us control, but every rule update required dev coordination and full QA cycles. Over time, changes slowed down ops. Once we moved those flows to Nected, we instantly saw results. Pricing logic became business-owned. Today, we're expanding it across routing, too—without touching infra."

Kartik Raina

Engineering Manager, Tata 1mg (HealthTech · 1,000+ Employees)

"We spent months building flows that Nected gave us in days."
"At 1mg, we built custom logic to handle pricing and customer workflows. The architecture worked—until we needed speed. Rollouts were blocked on sprints, and business teams couldn't touch logic. Nected changed that. What used to take us three months of dev work, we shipped in three weeks—with zero regression. Ops and support overhead dropped too."

Souradeep Paul

Director of Product, Brightchamps (EdTech · 500+ Employees)

"Every product change needed backend support. It didn't scale."
"Our in-house rule logic was hardcoded into our backend—every small logic tweak went through engineering. We knew it wasn't scalable. Once we moved our logic to Nected, we could iterate without dev involvement. It reduced our development time by 50% and gave us modularity we didn't have before. We're shipping faster—and without creating tech debt."

Head of Strategy

Wealthright (FinTech · 200+ Employees)

"We couldn't iterate on incentives fast enough—until we left our scripts behind."
"We initially handled incentive logic with code and Excel-based systems. Updates were slow, testing was manual, and business teams couldn't experiment. With Nected, we moved that entire process into dynamic workflows. Now our ops team updates rules themselves. Development is 80% faster, and we've eliminated rollout delays entirely."
