Zekt Chainlink

Add-on — multi-hop event pipelines across any number of organizations

Add-On

One repo, both roles —
build A→B→C pipelines across orgs

Chainlink lets a single repository act as both a Provider and a Consumer simultaneously — enabling true multi-hop event chaining, fan-out orchestration, and compliance-gated pipelines.

Starting at $22 / repo / month + usage

Requires Zekt Core

What Zekt Chainlink gives you

Dual-Role Repos

Dual-Role Repos
A Chainlink-enabled repo can subscribe to upstream events AND re-publish enriched events downstream — both at the same time.
  • A→B→C pipelines become native to Zekt
  • The intermediate node (B) is a normal Zekt repo with Chainlink enabled
  • No custom webhook infrastructure needed at any hop

Event Enrichment
Modify payloads as they pass through

Event Enrichment
Intermediate Chainlink nodes can add or reduct data to the payload before forwarding downstream - all using Zekt Action.
  • Append environment info or other rich meta-data.
  • Filter fields before forwarding (reduce blast radius)

Fan-Out Orchestration
One event triggers N downstream consumers

Fan-Out Orchestration
A single upstream event can fan out to any number of downstream consumers through the intermediate Chainlink node. Topology is managed in the Zekt Directory.
  • One platform event → all product team deployments
  • Centralized compliance gate → distributed approval triggers
  • Fan-out count limited only by your plan's concurrency tier

Compliance Gating
Insert human-approval checkpoints in the chain

Compliance Gating
A Chainlink node can hold an event pending approval before dispatching downstream — building compliance checkpoints into the pipeline.
  • Security team approval before prod deploy fires
  • Finance sign-off before cost-impacting workflows trigger
  • Approval gates are GitHub native — use environment protection rules

Topology Visualization
The Zekt Dashboard shows the complete chain graph: who feeds this repo and who depends on it. Understand the impact of changes before making them.
  • Upstream dependencies: what triggers this node?
  • Downstream blast radius: what breaks if this node fails?
  • Chain depth and branching factor at a glance

Process Automation
Use Zekt Chainlink to shape advanced, long-linked chains (even multi-org) to automate business processes. With chainlink enabled you can:
  • Form 1-to-1, 1-to-many, A-to-B-to-C-to-X chains
  • Form closed loop processes — where validation comes back to the originating source!

When to use Zekt Chainlink

  • Platform-as-a-Service patterns: a central platform team orchestrates N product teams, each of which orchestrates their own downstream consumers.
  • Event enrichment pipelines: add cost codes, approval gates, or environment context at an intermediate step — without touching the original provider.
  • Compliance-gated deployments: a downstream production deploy fires only after a security team approval event passes through the intermediate node.
  • Chainlink is the most advanced add-on — recommended only when multi-hop is a verified architectural requirement.

Combinations

Works well with

  • Core + Chainlink — Multi-hop pipelines with no analytics overhead.
  • Core + Analytics + Chainlink — Recommended: full pipeline visibility and replay at every hop.
  • Core + Shield + Chainlink — Encrypted multi-hop. Each Chainlink node routes ciphertext. Time Travel disabled on encrypted legs.
  • Core + Analytics + Shield + Chainlink — Maximum stack. Shield/Time Travel constraint applies per connection.
  • Zekt Action — Intermediate nodes use Zekt Action to enrich and re-attach payloads before forwarding downstream.

Constraints to know

  • No hard incompatibilities with Chainlink itself.
  • Chainlink legs that are Shield-encrypted inherit the Shield + Time Travel incompatibility on those connections.
