alphaswarm-local
Catalog date: 2026-06-24.
alphaswarm-local packages a self-hosted AlphaSwarm backend and links it to the hosted AlphaSwarm platform. It enables "Bring Your Own Backend" (BYOB) scenarios where sensitive data and heavy compute remain on the developer's machine while the hosted UI provides the orchestration and visualization surface.
Role
- Hybrid Development: Links a local backend to the hosted platform via a device-paired reverse tunnel.
- Developer Quickstart: Bootstraps a local environment with Docker Compose and sensible defaults.
- Simulation: Provides high-fidelity simulation of market data, execution venues, and risk gates.
- Local Persistence: Manages local SQLite/PostgreSQL, Redis, and file-based data stores.
Connection Model
The backend dials OUT to the hosted platform's control plane. Requests from the hosted UI are proxied through the reverse tunnel to the local backend. Authorization is handled against the central alphaswarm_auth service.
