Platform service is a REST API interface for the SDK to talk to the platform.

• Uploads directory to be created. /tmp/platform_service/uploads Note that this can be changed using the environment variables. The variable to change is UPLOAD_FOLDER.
• Postgres server with pg_vector extension installed
• Databases unstract and unstract_vectors must be available in Postgres

This service requires a few environment variables to be set. Take a look at sample.env. Make a copy of this file and name it as .env. Then fill in the values for the variables. The .env file automatically gets loaded when the service is started.

Setup a virtual environment and install the requirements:

uv venv

Once a virtual environment is created or if you already have created one, activate it:

source .venv/bin/activate

Install the dependencies needed to run the service

uv sync

To run the service locally (make sure the .env file is present):

flask run --host localhost --port 3001
