Rafiki

What is Rafiki?

Rafiki is an open source package that exposes a comprehensive set of Interledger APIs. It's intended to be run by wallet providers, allowing them to offer Interledger functionality to their users.

Rafiki is made up of several components including an Interledger connector, a high-throughput accounting database, and an API which can be accessed directly by users to implement Interledger applications.

Rafiki also allows for delegated access, offering OAuth-based flows to grant third-party applications access to Interledger functionality on a user's account.

Local Development

The infrastructure/local directory contains resources for setting up Rafiki in common configurations.

# set up two instances of Rafiki
pnpm localenv up -d

# seed the postgres databases with the auth data creating an admin token
pnpm localenv:seed:auth

# tear down
pnpm localenv down

# delete database volumes (containers must be removed first with e.g. pnpm localenv down)
pnpm localenv:dbvolumes:remove

The local environment consists of a primary Rafiki instance and a secondary Rafiki instance, each with its own docker compose files (primary, secondary). The primary docker-compose.yml includes the main Rafiki services backend, auth, and rates, as well as the required data stores tigerbeetle, redis, and postgres, so it can be run on its own. The peer-docker-compose.yml includes only the Rafiki services, not the data stores. It uses the data stores created by the primary Rafiki instance so it can't be run by itself. The pnpm run localenv command starts both the primary instance and the secondary.
