Swarm Orchestration

Multi-agent orchestration system for coordinating AI swarms and distributed task execution.

Overview

Swarm Orchestration is a backend system for managing large-scale AI agent swarms. It provides coordination, load balancing, fault tolerance, and communication patterns for distributed agent systems.

Key Features

• Agent Registry - Dynamic discovery and registration of agents
• Task Distribution - Intelligent routing based on agent capabilities
• Communication Bus - Pub/sub messaging between agents
• Health Monitoring - Heartbeat and failure detection
• Load Balancing - Distribute workload across available agents
• Fault Tolerance - Automatic retry and failover
• Scaling - Horizontal scaling support
• State Management - Shared state across the swarm

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Docker (for Redis)
• pnpm 8+

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/SuperInstance/SwarmOrchestration.git
cd SwarmOrchestration

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Start infrastructure (Redis)
docker-compose up -d

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env

# Start the orchestrator
pnpm start

# Start an agent worker
pnpm start:worker

Running in Production

# Build
pnpm build
