SWE Cloud Agent
Welcome
Build a cloud-based SWE agent system with custom frontend and backend deployment
SWE Cloud Agent Workshop
Build a complete cloud-based Software Engineering agent system: a Codex GPT-like frontend showing tasks/status/logs + customizable agent backend with deployment options.
Architecture Overview
Frontend: Build your own Codex GPT replica displaying:
- Real-time task execution status
- Agent activity logs and monitoring
- Code generation results
- Repository management interface
Backend: Leverage xpander.ai’s Backend-as-a-Service for agents:
- Framework-agnostic infrastructure
- Custom agent loops with any LLM model
- Local function execution
- Serverless → self-hosted deployment path
xpander.ai Backend-as-a-Service Benefits
Component | Traditional Setup | xpander.ai BaaS |
---|---|---|
Infrastructure | Manual server setup | Managed, auto-scaling |
State Management | Custom implementation | Built-in distributed state |
Tool Integration | Manual API wrappers | MCP-compatible library |
Real-time Events | WebSocket implementation | Event streaming included |
Multi-user Support | Complex auth & isolation | Built-in multi-tenancy |
Deployment | DevOps overhead | One-command deployment |
What You’ll do during this workshop
- Use xpander.ai built-in frontend: Chat interface to to talk with you agent
- Task Management Frontend: React dashboard for SWE agent operations
- Agent Backend: Customizable loops with OpenAI Codex integration
- Cloud Deployment: Production-ready system with monitoring
- Competition Submission: Package for apps-by-agent competitions
xpander.ai Backend-as-a-Service
Framework-agnostic infrastructure for autonomous agents:
