🏗️ Architecture

Seven-Stage Pipeline

Every request flows through:

1. Ingress - Global Accelerator receives request
2. Auth - API key validation & rate limiting
3. Cleanse - PII redaction, injection scan, secrets detection
4. AetherSign - Production cryptographic signing with AWS KMS
5. Inference - Forward to LLM provider
6. Verify - Toxicity, hallucination, brand safety checks
7. Egress - Return signed response with audit trail

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker 20.10+ and Docker Compose 2.0+
• 8GB+ RAM (16GB recommended)
• 10GB+ disk space for ML models
• GPU (optional, for faster inference)
• Node.js 16+ (for SDK development)

One-Command Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/maamir/AetherGuardAI.git
cd AetherGuardAI

# Run quick start script
chmod +x quickstart.sh
./quickstart.sh

This will:

1. ✅ Check prerequisites
2. ✅ Build all services
3. ✅ Download ML models (~3GB, first run only)
4. ✅ Start Proxy Engine (port 8080)
5. ✅ Start ML Services (port 8001)
6. ✅ Start Backend API (port 8081)
7. ✅ Start Web Portal (port 3000)
8. ✅ Start Admin Portal (port 3001)

First run takes 10-15 minutes for model downloads.

Verify Installation

# Check proxy engine
curl http://localhost:8080/health

# Check ML services
curl http://localhost:8001/health

# Check backend API
curl http://localhost:8081/health

# Check web portal (install dependencies first)
cd web-portal
npm install
npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:3000

# Check admin portal
cd ../admin-portal
npm install
npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:3001

🆕 Node.js SDK Quick Start

Install the official Node.js SDK:

npm install @aetherguard/nodejs-sdk

Basic usage:

const { AetherGuardClient } = require('@aetherguard/nodejs-sdk');

// Initialize the client
const client = new AetherGuardClient({
  apiKey: 'your-aetherguard-api-key',
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8080' // or your production URL
});

// Make a secure chat completion
async function example() {
  try {
    const response = await client.createChatCompletion({
      model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
      messages: [
        { role: 'user', content: 'What is artificial intelligence?' }
      ],
      max_tokens: 150
    });
    
    console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.code === 'CONTENT_BLOCKED') {
      console.log('Content was blocked by security policy');
    } else {
      console.error('Error:', error.message);
    }
  }
}
