The Redis byte-budget branch in doFlush requeued the rejected batch and rethrew, skipping the MAX_PENDING_EVENTS trim every other failure path applies. The backlog then grew for the rest of the run and each retry re-serialized it, so a wide parallel fan-out could drive unbounded heap growth and stall the event loop. Drop rejected chunks instead of requeueing, pace retries through the existing backoff, and split batches that exceed the single-write cap so an oversized batch can make progress instead of stalling forever. Terminal status is now writer-scoped, since a concurrent scheduled flush can be the loop that drains the final chunk, and a terminal event whose batch was dropped is retried on its own rather than lost with it. Record terminal stream meta when the terminal event cannot be buffered, so reconnecting readers stop polling an active stream until their deadline. Drop the unused reserve/release budget helpers.
A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun run setup
Capabilities
- Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
- Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
- Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
- Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
- Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity
One workspace, every surface
Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.
Tables — a database, built in |
Files — one store for your team and every agent |
Knowledge — your agents' memory |
Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule |
Self-hosting
bun run setup is an interactive wizard: it provisions the database, generates secrets, writes your .env files, connects a Chat API key, and starts Sim the way you choose:
- Local dev — run from source to contribute or hack on Sim
- Docker Compose — a self-contained instance for testing self-hosting
- Kubernetes (Helm) — deploy to a local cluster
When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000.
Manage your install with bun run sim:
bun run sim start | stop | restart # bring your install up / down / cycle
bun run sim status # what's installed and healthy
bun run sim logs # follow logs
bun run sim doctor # diagnose configuration problems
bun run sim down # remove containers (data kept)
bun run sim reset # archive .env and wipe managed data
sim detects how you're running (Docker Compose, local dev, or Kubernetes) and acts accordingly.
Prefer a bare sim? Run bun link once — but note sim lands in ~/.bun/bin, which Homebrew's bun doesn't add to your PATH, so you may need export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" in your shell profile.
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the self-hosting docs for details.
Chat API Keys
Chat is a Sim-managed service. bun run setup connects a Chat API key for you — sign in when it opens your browser and the key is stored automatically. To view, create, or revoke keys later, go to sim.ai/selfhost/settings/chat-keys.
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
