Component Overview

Gremia Builder (apps/web/)

A Next.js 15 application with App Router that serves as the entry point for users:

Layer Technology
Framework Next.js 15 (App Router)
UI Shadcn/UI + Tailwind v4
Validation Zod (manifest schema)
i18n Built-in (English + Spanish)
Auth Supabase Auth + MFA

Key pages:

  • /builder/new — Chat interface for manifest generation
  • /dashboard — Manifest list and team overview
  • /teams — Team management
  • /login, /register — Authentication

The Builder communicates with the Cloud via REST API, streaming responses through Server-Sent Events (SSE).

Gremia Cloud (services/orchestrator/)

The FastAPI orchestrator is the brain of the system:

Layer Technology
Framework FastAPI
Agent orchestration LangGraph 1.0.7+
AI provider Anthropic (Claude models)
Database Supabase (PostgreSQL)
Security JWT, mTLS, AES-256-GCM

Routers (API surface):

Router Prefix Purpose
chat /api/v1/chat Architect conversation streaming
tunnel /api/v1/tunnel WebSocket bridge to Shell
manifest /api/v1/manifests CRUD for team manifests
auth /api/v1/auth JWT verification
certs /api/v1/certs mTLS certificate signing
execution /api/v1/executions Task execution management
billing /api/v1/billing Subscription and credits
privacy /api/v1/privacy GDPR consent and erasure
admin /api/v1/admin Key rotation and admin ops

Middleware stack (execution order):

  1. RequestIdMiddleware — Attaches X-Request-ID to every response
  2. MetricsMiddleware — Tracks HTTP request count and latency
  3. CORSMiddleware — Handles cross-origin requests
  4. GZipMiddleware — Compresses responses > 1KB

Gremia Shell (apps/desktop/)

A Tauri v2 desktop application with a Rust backend:

Layer Technology
Framework Tauri v2
Frontend React 19 + TypeScript + Vite 6
Backend Rust
Encryption AES-256-GCM (aes-gcm crate)
TLS ring + rcgen (EC P-256)
Auto-update tauri-plugin-updater

Rust modules:

Module Purpose
tunnel.rs WebSocket connection, message routing, encryption
mcp_manager.rs MCP server lifecycle (spawn, init, call, stop)
cert_rotation.rs mTLS certificate auto-renewal
crypto.rs Encryption utilities
manifest.rs Manifest parsing and validation
jsonrpc.rs JSON-RPC 2.0 client for MCP stdio
commands.rs Tauri IPC commands exposed to frontend
session.rs User session and auth token management
audit.rs Local audit logging
zero_trust.rs Security policy enforcement
updater.rs Auto-update checker and installer
state_sync.rs Cross-thread state synchronization

Managed with Turborepo and npm workspaces.

Security Model

Gremia follows a zero-trust security architecture:

  1. Authentication — JWT tokens for API access, MFA support
  2. Transport — TLS 1.3 for all connections, AES-256-GCM for tunnel messages
  3. Identity — mTLS with 24-hour ephemeral certificates
  4. Authorization — Row-Level Security (RLS) in Supabase
  5. Encryption — AES-256-GCM for data at rest with versioned key rotation
  6. Audit — Every action logged with actor, action, resource, and result
  7. Compliance — GDPR consent management, erasure support, EU AI Act transparency

Technology Decisions

Decision Choice Rationale
Desktop framework Tauri v2 Small binary, Rust security, native performance
Agent framework LangGraph Graph-based orchestration, streaming support
Database Supabase PostgreSQL with built-in auth, RLS, and real-time
Tool protocol MCP Anthropic standard, JSON-RPC 2.0, growing ecosystem
Schema validation Zod (TS) + Pydantic (Python) Type-safe validation at every boundary
Encryption AES-256-GCM NIST standard, authenticated encryption
Certificate format EC P-256 Modern, efficient, NIST-approved elliptic curve

  • Builder is deployed on Vercel (or similar CDN edge platform)
  • Cloud runs as Docker containers behind a load balancer
  • Shell is distributed as platform-specific installers
  • Database is managed Supabase in the EU region
