AcruxCore
AcruxCore is an open-source platform that unifies prompt management, an AI gateway, tracing, a tool catalog, and evaluation for teams building LLM products. It solves the problem of stitching together disparate tools by covering the entire development loop in one system. It is designed for developers and teams who need a self-hostable, integrated solution for managing and monitoring LLM applications.
✨ Key features
- Versioned prompt management with diffing and promotion
- AI gateway with routing, caching, and retries
- Automatic tracing for every gateway request
- Versioned tool catalog executed by the gateway
- Evaluation of prompts and sessions against datasets
- Self-hostable with Apache 2.0 license
🎯 Use cases
- Manage and version prompts across development and production
- Route requests to multiple LLM providers through a single gateway
- Trace and debug LLM requests without separate instrumentation
- Reuse registered tools across different prompts and agents
- Evaluate prompt performance against datasets and compare runs
📦 Installation
🧰 Requirements: Requires Docker and Docker Compose for self-hosting; Postgres and Redis are used internally.
git clone https://github.com/AcruxCore/AcruxCore.git && cd AcruxCore
cp .env.local.example .env
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up --build
🚀 Usage
After installation, open http://localhost:8080, sign up, and start using the platform. No further code example is provided in the README.
⚠️ Good to know
AcruxCore is a new project with a smaller community compared to more established tools, and it currently supports only a single team without an organization hierarchy.

Does AcruxCore require external authentication services?
No, authentication is handled in-app using Better Auth, with accounts, sessions, and password hashes stored in your own Postgres database.
