ComplyAI Documentation Hub

Welcome to the central documentation for the ComplyAI infrastructure. This repository serves as the source of truth for understanding the ecosystem of repositories, services, and data models.

📚 Documentation Index​

  • Repositories: A detailed guide to all repositories, their tech stacks, and purposes.
  • Data Infrastructure: Overview of databases, schemas (Postgres, ChromaDB), and data flow.

🚀 Quick Start Guide​

Prerequisites​

  • Docker: Most services run via Docker Compose.
  • Python 3.11+: For local development.
  • Node.js: For frontend applications.
  • uv: Recommended for Python package management in newer services.

Common Commands​

# Start a service (check specific repo README for details)
docker-compose up -d --build

# Run database migrations (Flask-Migrate)
flask db upgrade

🏗 System Architecture​

The system is composed of:

  1. Core API (complyai-api): The central nervous system handling business logic.
  2. Async Services (api-async): specialized microservices for performance-critical tasks.
  3. AI/ML Layer (complyai-ipu, complyai-violin): Handles intelligence tasks using Vector DBs and Transformers.
  4. Frontend Layer: React-based applications (complyai-frontend, www).
  5. CMS: Content management for dynamic pages (complyai_cms).

🤝 Contributing​

When adding a new repository or service, please update:

  1. Repositories.md with the new service details.
  2. DataInfrastructure.md if new data models are introduced.
