This guide will help you set up HasteKit Gateway for local development. In development mode, you’ll run the backend and frontend locally while using Docker Compose for infrastructure services.

​
Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have the following installed: Verify your installations: 
docker --version
docker compose version
node --version  # Should be v20.0.0 or higher
go version      # Should be go1.25.3 or higher

​
1. Clone the Repository

Clone the HasteKit gateway repository: 
git clone https://github.com/hastekit/hastekit-ai-gateway.git
cd hastekit-ai-gateway

​
2. Start Infrastructure Services

Start the required infrastructure services (PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, etc.) using Docker Compose: 
docker compose -f ./deployments/docker-compose.dev.yaml up -d
This command starts:
  • PostgreSQL - Primary database
  • Redis - Caching layer
  • ClickHouse - Analytics and telemetry storage
  • OpenTelemetry Collector - Trace and metrics collection
Verify that all services are running: 
docker compose -f ./deployments/docker-compose.dev.yaml ps

​
3. Start the Backend

In the root directory, start the backend server: 
go run main.go gateway
The backend will start on http://localhost:6060. You should see logs indicating the server is running.

​
4. Start the Frontend

Open a new terminal window, navigate to the frontend directory, and start the development server: 
cd frontend
npm install  # Only needed the first time or after dependency changes
npm start
The frontend will start on http://localhost:3000 and automatically open in your browser.

​
Development Workflow

​
Making Changes

  • Backend changes: The Go server will need to be restarted manually after code changes
  • Frontend changes: The React development server supports hot reloading - changes will appear automatically

​
Stopping Services

To stop all services: 
# Stop backend: Press Ctrl+C in the backend terminal
# Stop frontend: Press Ctrl+C in the frontend terminal
# Stop infrastructure:
docker compose -f ./deployments/docker-compose.dev.yaml down
