Greenlight by Shift AI — Governed Enterprise Vibe Coding

Greenlight architecture diagram showing citizen developers at top, Greenlight governance layer in the middle, and cloud infrastructure and business systems at the bottom

The problem

Vibe coding is here.
Enterprise governance isn't.

The question is not whether employees will build with coding agents. They already are. The question is whether those local apps can safely connect to company data, run in company infrastructure, and become governed software IT can see, approve, and operate.

01

Governance gap

No reviews. No audit logs. No control.

Apps ship to production with no code review, no security scan, no access controls. The SDLC is completely bypassed.

02

Security risk

Shadow apps. Invisible surface area.

Hardcoded credentials, personal accounts, unmonitored endpoints. Every rogue app touching production data is a breach waiting to happen.

03

Operational risk

Zombie app sprawl.

Apps built fast, abandoned faster — still connected to production databases, owned by no one. Nobody can turn them off.

04

Engineering tax

Prototype → rewrite → repeat.

Vibe coded app proves demand. Engineering spends a quarter rewriting it with real auth, real infra, real security. Every time.

Vibe coding is the #1 new attack vector in the enterprise. Greenlight gives IT full visibility and control — without slowing down the people building.

Built for AI agents

Skills tell your agent how. MCP is how it acts.

Greenlight works directly with coding agents to bridge the gap between local app building and enterprise deployment. Agents use Greenlight to request data access, provision approved cloud resources, follow org policies, read deployment and runtime feedback, and move apps toward IT approval.

Resource provisioning broker

The agent requests cloud resources through Greenlight — databases, storage, queues, servers. Greenlight provisions them in your org's cloud. No IAM knowledge, no cloud console, no ticket.

Data broker

Apps request data from Snowflake, Salesforce, or any source through Greenlight. No raw credentials handed out. Greenlight brokers every connection — scoped, audited, and never stored in code.

Observability for agents

Greenlight surfaces sandbox runtime logs, build output, and server metrics directly to the agent. It reads them, identifies errors, and iterates — closing the loop without human intervention.

# Your agent can now:
# → Provision a DB, deploy to your org's cloud
# → Wire Salesforce + Snowflake with vaulted creds
# → Set RBAC, register in app catalog, log everything
# All within policy. No IT ticket. No manual config.

How it works

The agent builds it.
Greenlight is the infrastructure it builds through.

Users keep working with their coding agent on the app idea. Greenlight gives that agent the governed path to connect enterprise data, provision cloud resources, satisfy design and security standards, deploy safely, and give IT full visibility.

01

Employees iterate locally with their agent.

They describe what they want and react to what they see — the agent handles the code. No engineering background needed.

02

The agent reads Greenlight Skills and builds right.

Your agent reads your org's Greenlight Skills file and knows exactly what to do — request data access, provision a database, follow design and security standards, and deploy to a sandbox. Everything spins up in your cloud. No ticket, no console, no raw credentials.

03

Greenlight surfaces logs. The agent iterates.

Once the app is running in a sandbox, Greenlight feeds runtime logs, build output, and server metrics back to the agent. It reads them, catches errors, and fixes them — without the citizen dev needing to understand any of it.

04

Review, approve, ship.

Before any sandbox spins up, the Greenlight review agent and code scanning catch secrets, vulnerabilities, and policy violations. IT reviews the sandbox, approves it, and it goes live in the org app store — SSO-protected, RBAC-scoped.

How we compare

v0, Lovable, and Superblocks pick your AI for you. Greenlight doesn't.

Your team already has agents they trust. Greenlight governs what they build — without replacing them.

Platform capabilities

Everything IT needs to say yes.

And everything citizen developers need to ship without handing it back to engineering.

Governed cloud provisioning

Agents request databases, storage, compute, queues, and secrets through Greenlight. Resources are provisioned in your org's cloud, under your policies, without handing broad cloud access to users or agents.

Data access brokering

Agents request access to Salesforce, Snowflake, Postgres, Databricks, and other systems through Greenlight. Every request is scoped, approved, audited, and brokered without raw credentials in generated code.

IT policy compliance

Every app is checked against security, dependency, identity, data, and design standards before it moves forward. IT can approve, reject, monitor, roll back, or shut down apps from one place.

Agent-native by design

MCP server, skills.md files, REST API. Agents get governed platform access with no custom wiring.

Greenlight Review Agent

Every app is reviewed by Greenlight's AI review agent and deterministic code scanning before it reaches a sandbox. Secrets, vulnerable dependencies, policy violations, compliance gaps — caught automatically.

Internal app store

Every deployed app is discoverable org-wide. Find and reuse instead of rebuild. Versioning, rollback, promotion built in.

VPC & private deployment

Greenlight runs inside your cloud. Your data never leaves your compliance boundary.

Observability for agents & IT

Greenlight surfaces runtime logs, build output, and server metrics to the agent so it can self-correct. IT gets the same visibility — usage, errors, data access per app — with a kill switch and instant rollback.

Skills files & agent docs

Auto-generated skills.md files with your org's policies, integrations, and standards. Drop in context — agent builds correctly from line one.

Deployment models

Your cloud. Your data. Your policies.

Deploy Greenlight inside your own cloud environment so generated apps and their data stay inside your perimeter. Your cloud, your source control, your pipelines, your SSO, your policies. Greenlight can be removed without trapping your apps in a proprietary runtime.
