1. Atlas Documentation

A self-hosted, pre-integrated gen-AI, ML, and data platform — one Docker Compose stack

Chat, RAG, agents, distributed compute, and a full data platform — source-configurable services wired together out of the box and selectable among the deployment modes each supports.

Atlas is a self-hosted engineering platform that bundles 30+ services — LLM inference and a gateway, vector and graph databases, workflow and DAG automation, distributed compute, object storage, notebooks, and observability — behind a Kong gateway and an adaptive FastAPI backend.

1. Capabilities

Atlas organizes 57 service families into 7 tracks. Each track pre-selects a working subset of the platform for one class of workload; the setup wizard prompts for track-scoped services and force-disables the rest.

Generative AI · RAG

Retrieval-augmented generation — vectors, graph, reranker, doc ingest, web search, workflow automation.

2. Quick Start

./start.sh
./start.sh --track gen-ai-rag
./start.sh --llm-provider-source ollama-container-gpu

Interactive wizard by default; CLI flags skip prompts for the values you set. Full flow, flags, and troubleshooting: Quick Start.

3. Platform Topology

Atlas platform topology: entrypoints, Kong gateway, apps and agents, LLM core, data stores, and cloud-provider boundary

Kong routes every *.localhost host; LiteLLM is the single path for local and cloud model traffic.

Per-flow diagrams (data/RAG, LLM provider routing, observability, security boundary, bootstrapper lifecycle): Architecture.
