**Aegis Stack is an open-source CLI that scaffolds production-ready FastAPI applications and lets you add, remove, and update components and services on existing projects without rewrites.**

You need to ship reliable software, but management only gave you 2 weeks.

No time for health checks, proper testing, or clean architecture. Just enough time for duct tape and hope.

**What if you could go from idea to working prototype in the time it takes to grab coffee?**

![Aegis Stack Quick Start Demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lbedner/aegis-stack/main/docs/images/aegis-demo.gif)

**Ship FastAPI apps that grow with you.**

Aegis Stack scaffolds complete FastAPI applications with auth, payments, workers, AI, and a built-in control plane. Add what you need, remove what you don't, update when the framework improves.

## Quick Start

```bash
uvx aegis-stack init my-api
```

`init` opens a full-screen guided setup that walks through every component and service with explanations. Prefer the classic one-line prompts? Pass `--quick`.

<details>
<summary><strong>More examples</strong></summary>

```bash
# Skip the guided setup, use the classic one-line prompts
uvx aegis-stack init my-api --quick

# Add user authentication out of the box
uvx aegis-stack init user-app --services auth

# Add background processing + scheduling
uvx aegis-stack init task-processor --components scheduler,worker

# Everything wired up at init
uvx aegis-stack init full-app --services auth,payment,comms --components worker,scheduler
```

</details>

> **CLI in 9 languages:** English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese. Run e.g. `uvx aegis-stack --lang zh init my-api`, or set `AEGIS_LANG=zh`.

**Installation alternatives:** See the [Installation Guide](https://docs.aegis-stack.io/installation/) for `uv tool install`, `pip install`, and development setup.

## Customizing Your Stack

![Aegis Stack spinning up a new project](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lbedner/aegis-stack/main/docs/images/aegis-spinup-demo.gif)

**Components** are infrastructure pieces (database, workers, scheduler, cache). **Services** are business capabilities (auth, AI, payments, comms).

**Don't worry about what you pick today.** Add anything later with a single command, remove what you outgrow, no rework required.

## Integrations

Aegis Stack is the orchestration layer. Services and components wire into best-in-class tools you already trust, so you keep your vendor choices and your data.

## CI/CD for Your Stack

Every generated project ships with GitHub Actions and developer tooling pre-wired, so the first push to GitHub runs checks automatically, and one command wires up continuous deployment to your server.

## Your Stack Grows With You

**Your choices aren't permanent.** Start with what you need today, add when requirements change, remove what you outgrow.

```bash
# Monday: Ship MVP
aegis init my-api

# Week 3: Add scheduled reports
aegis add scheduler --project-path ./my-api

# Month 2: Need async workers
aegis add worker --project-path ./my-api

# Month 6: Scheduler not needed
aegis remove scheduler --project-path ./my-api

# Stay current with template improvements
aegis update
```

| Starter | Add Later? | Remove Later? | Git Conflicts? |
|-----------|------------|---------------|----------------|
| **Others** | Locked at init | Manual deletion | High risk |
| **Aegis Stack** | One command | One command | Auto-handled |

Most starters lock you in at `init`. Aegis Stack doesn't. See **[Evolving Your Stack](https://docs.aegis-stack.io/evolving-your-stack/)** for the complete guide.

## Overseer - Your Application's Control Plane

<sub>[Live Demo: sector-7g.dev/dashboard](https://sector-7g.dev/dashboard/)</sub>

**[Overseer](https://docs.aegis-stack.io/overseer/)** is the embedded control plane that ships with every Aegis Stack project.

- Live health of every component and service in one view
- Worker queues, scheduled jobs, recent runs
- Database schema, tables, and migration state
- AI token usage and conversation history
- Auth sessions and user activity
- No external tooling, no vendor integrations, no setup

## CLI - First-Class System Interface

The Aegis CLI is a first-class interface to your running system. Not just a health check, but a full inspection layer.

- Component-aware commands for every running subsystem
- Inspect worker queues, scheduler runs, database state
- Query AI usage, auth sessions, service configuration
- Same data Overseer sees, terminal-native
- Built into every generated project, no extra installs

## Illiana - Optional System Operator

When the AI service is enabled, Aegis exposes an additional interface: **Illiana**, a conversational operator over your running system.

- Ask questions in plain language about live system state
- Backed by live telemetry from Overseer and the CLI
- Optional RAG over your codebase for code-aware answers
- Opt-in: only available when the AI service is on
- Nothing in the stack depends on her being there
