# RocketRide — Visual AI Pipelines + Observability

> RocketRide is an IDE extension + server runtime for visual `.pipe` AI workflows with tracing; build pipelines in the canvas and deploy via Docker/on-prem.

## Install

Save the content below to `.claude/skills/` or append to your `CLAUDE.md`:

## Quick Use

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/rocketride-org/rocketride-engine:latest
docker create --name rocketride-engine -p 5565:5565 ghcr.io/rocketride-org/rocketride-engine:latest
```

## Intro

Build and run AI pipelines with a visual `.pipe` workflow format, then inspect traces (call trees, token usage, memory) to tune before production.

**Best for:** Teams shipping multi-step AI workflows who want a visual builder plus observability from day one

**Works with:** RocketRide IDE extension; Docker/on-prem server runtime; Python and TypeScript SDKs (per README)

**Setup time:** 10–25 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- README highlights 50+ pipeline nodes and mentions 13 LLM providers plus multiple vector DBs.
- Docker example maps port 5565:5565 for the runtime container (per README quick start).
- README includes an Observability section describing tracing of call trees, token usage, and memory consumption.
- GitHub: 2,480 stars · 454 forks; pushed 2026-05-12 (GitHub API verified).

## Main

A pragmatic way to evaluate RocketRide:

1. Install the IDE extension and create a tiny pipeline with a single source node (chat/webhook/dropper).
2. Add one transform node (chunking, OCR, or NER) so you can see a meaningful trace.
3. Run from the canvas and inspect tracing: confirm you can answer “what called what” and “where did tokens go”.
4. When it’s stable, move the runtime to Docker/on-prem as the README shows, and treat the `.pipe` file as a deployable artifact.

The goal isn’t “more nodes”; it’s repeatable pipelines with observable cost and latency.

### FAQ

**Q: Do I need Docker to start?**
A: Not necessarily. The README describes a local (IDE-pulled) option and also provides Docker deployment steps.

**Q: What is a pipeline file?**
A: The README says pipelines are recognized as `*.pipe` JSON objects rendered by the IDE canvas.

**Q: Does it have observability?**
A: Yes. The README has an Observability section describing tracing and analytics for running pipelines.

## 快速使用

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/rocketride-org/rocketride-engine:latest
docker create --name rocketride-engine -p 5565:5565 ghcr.io/rocketride-org/rocketride-engine:latest
```

## 简介

用可视化 `.pipe` 工作流搭建并运行 AI 流水线，再用 tracing（调用树/Token/内存等）做优化再上生产。

**最适合：** 要做多步骤 AI 工作流的团队：希望有可视化构建器，并从一开始就具备可观测性

**适配：** RocketRide IDE 扩展；Docker/本地服务器运行时；README 提到提供 Python 与 TypeScript SDK

**配置时间：** 10–25 分钟

### 关键事实（已验证）

- README 提到 50+ 节点，并写到支持 13 个 LLM provider 与多种向量数据库。
- README 的 Docker 示例映射端口 5565:5565。
- README 有 Observability 小节：强调调用树、token 用量、内存消耗等 tracing 分析。
- GitHub：2,480 stars · 454 forks；最近更新 2026-05-12（GitHub API 验证）。

## 正文

评估 RocketRide 的一种务实方式：

1. 装 IDE 扩展，先做一个最小流水线：只放一个 source 节点（chat/webhook/dropper）。
2. 再加一个变换节点（chunking/OCR/NER 等），让 trace 有意义。
3. 在画布里运行并查看 tracing：能否回答“谁调用了谁”“token 花在哪”“哪段最慢”。
4. 稳定后，按 README 的方式把运行时迁到 Docker/本地部署，并把 `.pipe` 当作可部署产物管理。

重点不是“堆节点”，而是可复现、可观测的成本与延迟。

### FAQ

**一开始就必须用 Docker 吗？**
答：不一定。README 既提到本地（IDE 内拉起）方案，也提供了 Docker 部署步骤。

**流水线文件是什么？**
答：README 表示流水线是 `*.pipe` 格式的 JSON，对应 IDE 里的可视化画布。

**有可观测性吗？**
答：有。README 的 Observability 小节描述了 tracing/分析能力。
