ghcr.io/alexanderwanyoike/the0/runtimeWhat is the0?
An open-source platform for running algorithmic trading bots as production services. Developers implement strategies in seven supported languages using official SDKs. The system manages container isolation, cron or continuous scheduling, persistent state, structured logging with metrics, and a real-time web dashboard. A microservices architecture powers it: a NestJS API, Go runtime services, Next.js frontend, plus PostgreSQL, MongoDB, NATS, and S3-compatible storage. Deploy via Docker Compose for single hosts or Helm on Kubernetes for scale. A CLI manages the stack, and an MCP server lets AI assistants deploy and debug bots. Licensed Apache 2.0 from AlphaNeuron.
