ZeBrains: Velund Tool for interaction between development teams

2025: Velund Tool Presentation

ZeBrains introduced the Velund tool on October 9, 2025, an open source solution that simplifies interoperability between development teams and accelerates the creation of digital products. The tool appeared as an internal project of the company to improve the efficiency of work on web projects and reduce costs.

Velund forms a new approach to the architecture of web development: instead of adapting the interface to ready-made server code, the process is built from the visual part to business logic. This makes development transparent, eliminates duplicate tasks and reduces costs by 30-50%.

The tool automates the transfer of interface solutions between commands, reducing manual operations and reducing the likelihood of integration errors. Thanks to this, companies launch sites and web applications faster, and their support after release requires less time and resources. Velund is especially effective when working with CMS platforms like 1C-Bitrix, where traditionally the frontend is limited in tools, and integration requires the additional participation of background developers.

ZeBrains is a Russian developer of software solutions for business. With increasing development speed and quality requirements, the team faced the limitations of traditional approaches: task duplication, complex code support, and reliance on individual specialists. The introduction of Velund made it possible to change this process, making the development of digital solutions faster, cheaper and more predictable.

The problem is especially acute in projects on 1C-Bitrix and similar CMS. Frontend developers are limited in the use of modern tools, and backend is forced to manually transfer the layout to PHPfiles-. This increases integration time, increases error risk, and complicates post-launch support. Each revision turns into a separate project, and downtime is directly reflected in the company's income.

Velund solves these problems, changes the very logic of interaction between the frontend and the backend - now the visual part forms the contract followed by the server logic. This eliminates manual code transfers, accelerates integration, and makes the project architecture more sustainable. The tool is suitable for both classic sites and modern web applications, includes interactive elements and SPA.

Key Business Pros:

• Reduce costs - up to 50% by eliminating duplicate tasks and automating integration.
• Reduction of errors and regressions - a single code structure minimizes the influence of the human factor.
• Faster launch - frontend commands retain the usual tools, and the backend connects to ready-made modules.
• Flexibility - Interface updates do not require changes to server logic, which simplifies support and scaling.
• Open Source - The tool is available for free at velund.dntz.xyz, lowering the entry threshold and stimulating community development.
• Framework Friendly - Velund works on a layer between the backend and browser render, which allows you to use any framework

Velund is not just a plugin, but a new model of interaction between development teams. We turn the paradigm over: the frontend sets the contract for the implementation of UI, and the backend only uses ready-made components. We've seen traditional flow drag on businesses, increasing costs and risks, and implemented a solution that makes the process faster, cheaper and more reliable. This makes the development process transparent, predictable and economical, - said Maxim Trofimov, developer of Velund and techlid ZeBrains.

The developers of the solution plan to further develop Velund, including support for additional templates and generators, as well as integration with popular CMS. The tool is already available for testing and implementation in commercial projects.
