90-second quickstart

The Champion-tier quickstart from the OSS Cathedral M3 plan. From a fresh machine with Docker + Node 22 + pnpm installed:

Clone + install

git clone https://github.com/darshanbathija/axtior-neobank.git
cd axtior-neobank
pnpm install

Boot the data layer

docker compose up -d

Brings up Postgres 16 on localhost:5435, Redis 7 on localhost:6381, Inngest dev on localhost:8288.

Generate dev-only keys

bash scripts/generate-keys.sh > .env.keys
cat .env.keys >> apps/web/.env.local

scripts/generate-keys.sh emits dev-only random placeholders for the JWT secret, webhook secret, and four operational keys. Regenerate with KMS-backed values for production.

Add Privy creds (the one required vendor)

NEXT_PUBLIC_PRIVY_APP_ID=clxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PRIVY_APP_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Apply migrations

bash scripts/run-agent-platform-migrations.sh

Boot in demo mode

GLIDE_USE_MOCK_CONNECTORS=true pnpm --filter web dev

Verify

curl http://localhost:3000/health
# → {"status":"ok"}

pnpm glide doctor
# all checks pass

Alternative: `npx create-glide-app`

npx create-glide-app my-bank
cd my-bank
docker compose up -d
# follow my-bank/README.md for the rest

The scaffolder writes a minimal starter (docker-compose.yml, .env.example, README) that orchestrates the data layer + directs you to pnpm glide demo for full bring-up.

What’s mocked in demo mode

GLIDE_USE_MOCK_CONNECTORS=true swaps every connector for its sandbox variant. No real Bridge / Noah / Chainalysis / Alchemy keys required. The fail-closed audit refuses production NODE_ENV unless GLIDE_ALLOW_MOCKS_IN_PROD=true is explicitly set. For a production-shaped stack with real vendors, see Self-host guide.

Hosted vs self-hosted — the parity commitment.
