Developers - building on trade8

The single-repo story​

Clone any trade8 service and build - the platform SDK and the trade8 SDK arrive as pinned git dependencies; committed .sqlx caches mean no live database is needed to compile:

git clone https://github.com/Trade8-dev/trade8-desk.git
cd trade8-desk
cargo build
cargo test     # offline

The vertical lifecycle​

make infra-up        # platform TLS-only PG 18 + Valkey
sentin8-cli db bootstrap
vertical init        # creates the trade8 database + per-service schemas
vertical enroll      # registers services, scopes, admin UIs, triggers
make start           # captain spawns the fleet

No migration code exists - greenfield: schema changes rewrite the init SQL and re-run vertical init.

Integration surface​

  • Rust: the trade8-sdk shared plane (fixed/Price-Qty math, protocol codecs, event contracts) - see the SDK page
  • App/API clients: BFF-proxied order and data shapes
  • Events: trade8:{service}:{resource}:{operation} over Sentin8:Bus

Deep dive​

Every service's full docs live in its reference section - harvested from the public repositories at build time.
