# SmythOS/sre

The SmythOS Runtime Environment (SRE) is an open-source, cloud-native runtime for agentic AI. Secure, modular, and production-ready, it lets developers build, run, and manage intelligent agents across local, cloud, and edge environments.

## What it is
SmythOS Runtime Environment (SRE) is an open-source, cloud-native runtime, SDK, and CLI for building and running production AI agents across local, cloud, and edge environments. It provides OS-like abstractions over LLMs, vector databases, storage, and caching with a unified API, plus built-in security, observability, and 40+ modular components.

## Use cases
- build and deploy production AI agents in code
- run autonomous agents locally or at the edge
- orchestrate multi-agent workflows with a unified LLM API
- add RAG and vector database backends to agents
- swap LLM and storage providers without rewriting agent logic
- self-host agent infrastructure with sandboxing and access control
- scaffold and manage agents from the terminal

## When to choose
- you want a code-first TypeScript SDK for agent engineering rather than no-code tools
- you need one runtime that works identically across local, cloud, and edge deployments
- you need built-in security, credential management, and observability for agents
- you want provider-agnostic abstractions over LLMs, vector DBs, storage, and caching

## When to avoid
- you prefer visual drag-and-drop agent building (use SmythOS Studio instead)
- you need a lightweight single-purpose library rather than a full runtime platform
- you want a framework with a much larger community and ecosystem like LangChain
- your stack is not JavaScript/TypeScript
