The Build Layer: Luklak's 3-Tier Architecture

A deep dive into Luklak’s 3-Tier Architecture: the Core Blocks, Function Design, and Usage & Operation layers that allow you to build any business system.

Why This Matters

Traditional business software creates invisible walls between departments. Sales data is trapped in a CRM, project updates are lost in a separate tool, and customer feedback sits isolated in another. This friction slows you down, creates data silos, and prevents your teams from working as a unified force.

Luklak is fundamentally different. It’s not a collection of apps—it’s a single, universal foundation for building your company’s entire operating system. The Build Layer is where this happens, using a powerful 3-Tier Architecture.

Luklak system architecture, from raw materials, design to usage

The 3 Tiers of Construction

This model provides a structured way to think about building and using your solutions, moving from raw materials to a design blueprint, and finally to a live application.

Tier 1: Core Blocks (The Raw Materials)

This is the foundational layer of building—the universal “LEGO pieces” that all business processes are made from. This includes our 9 universal components which provide ultimate flexibility:

• 🧊 Universal Object: The core logical unit for any business entity.
• Workflow: Defines the statuses and transitions to model a process.
• Data Fields: Custom fields to capture all necessary information.
• Workviews: Customizable visual layouts (List, Kanban, etc.) for managing Objects.
• Universal Query Language (UQL): A system for querying all data across the platform.
• Universal Automation: The platform-wide engine that connects and automates any process.
• Object Connection: The system for creating powerful relationships between Objects.
• Unified Live Chat: An integrated, three-tiered communication system.
• Permission & Notification Schemes: Fine-grained access control and alert systems.

Tier 2: Function Design (The Blueprints)

This is the design layer. Here, you assemble the Core Blocks into no-code blueprints called 📋 Functions. A 📋 Function is a complete, reusable operational plan for a specific process, like a sales CRM or a project management system. It packages the specific Object Types, workflows, automations, and permissions required.

Tier 3: Usage & Operation (The Live Buildings)

This is the live application layer where work actually happens. When you deploy a 📋 Function, it becomes one or more live ⏹️ Spaces. This tier includes three key ways to organize and interact with work:

• Organizational Structure: The official hierarchy of 📂 Areas and ⏹️ Spaces that forms the unified structure for the entire company.
• Workspaces: A flexible command center, mainly for managers, to pull together various ⏹️ Spaces and reports into a single, personalized view.
• Personal Home: An automatically aggregated “to-do” list for every individual, collecting all their assigned 🧊 Objects and updates from across the platform.

This architecture allows for both incredible flexibility in design (Tier 2) and complete consistency in operation (Tier 3), all built upon a single, unified foundation of Core Blocks (Tier 1).
