What it is
RocketRide is an open source data pipeline builder and runtime for AI/ML workloads. It provides a multithreaded C++ engine with Python-extensible nodes, a VS Code-based visual pipeline builder, and SDKs for Python, TypeScript, and MCP. The project emphasizes running pipelines defined as portable JSON, and deploying via Docker, on-premises, or RocketRide Cloud.
How it works
Pipelines are defined as portable JSON and built visually in VS Code. The engine runs in a multithreaded C++ runtime. It includes a Visual Pipeline Builder, observability features for token usage, LLM calls, latency, and execution, and supports multi-agent workflows with built-in CrewAI and LangChain compatibility. The system exposes tools as Python, TypeScript, and MCP SDKs for integration into applications.
