Open Source overview
Better Data ships Apache-2.0 packages that form the building blocks of the Commerce Chain Optimization (CCO) platform. You can run them standalone or adopt the hosted stack for SLA, AI intelligence, and compliance reporting.The OSS layers
| Layer | Packages / sites | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Loop Engine | @loop-engine/* · loopengine.io | Governed workflows, actors, guards, audit |
| Commerce Gateway | @betterdata/commerce-gateway · commercegateway.io | LLM tool surfaces (MCP, OpenAI, Grok, etc.) |
| SCM / DCM | @betterdata/scm-*, @betterdata/dcm-* · commercechain.io | Operational supply and demand chain services |
| Signal Tags | @signal-tags/* · tagd.sh | SDK, schema, verification, and generation for verifiable product identity |
License
All published OSS listed here is Apache-2.0, including an explicit patent grant — the license tier most enterprises expect for healthcare and pharma procurement review. Release artifacts include SBOM (CycloneDX) generation where configured in CI.npm scopes (at a glance)
| Scope | What it is |
|---|---|
@loop-engine/* | Loop runtime SDKs and tooling |
@betterdata/* | SCM, DCM, loop definitions, commerce gateway |
@signal-tags/* | Signal Tags — SDK, schema, verify client, generate |
@betterdata/commerce-registry-protocol | Registry protocol spec (npm meta + spec files) |
Some docs and examples still say
@commerce-gateway/*; prefer @betterdata/commerce-gateway for new work. See commercegateway.io.Self-host or hosted
Every OSS package is self-hostable. The Better Data hosted platform composes the same contracts with:- Multi-tenant isolation
- Managed verification (verify.betterdata.co), gateway (gateway.betterdata.co), loops (loops.betterdata.co), and app shell (app.betterdata.com)
- Industry Packs and proprietary control-plane services
Where to go next
- Surface contract (C8) — names, URLs, owners, diagram rules
- MCP surfaces — gateway-console, Registry MCP, hosted gateway MCP
- SCM packages
- DCM packages
- Loop definitions
- Signal Tags
- Domain contracts
- Platform architecture
