Hosted Loop Engine
Better Data’s managed loop engine — run governed, observable commerce-chain loops without operating the runtime yourself.What is the hosted loop engine?
The hosted loop engine at loops.betterdata.co runs the Better Data loop model as a multi-tenant service. You integrate via APIs and module manifests; Better Data operates scale, isolation, and upgrades. Monorepo services: the running hosted stack includes hosted-loops (runtime + loops database API) and registry-loop (published loop definitions catalog). See Hosted platform apps for how they relate to hosted-gateway-mcp and registry-mcp-server. OSS alternative:@loop-engine/sdk and loopengine.io for self-hosted runtimes.
What you get with hosted
- Multi-tenant org isolation
- Outcome-based metering (billing tied to loop completions — contact us for current model details)
- TenantCapabilitySnapshot-style capability enforcement for RBAC
- Tamper-evident loop audit trail and export paths for compliance workflows
- Drift detection (scheduled validation of expected vs observed state)
- Outbox relay for cross-module event delivery
- Industry Pack policy overlays (hosted-only; not published as OSS)
Pricing model
Hosted Loop Engine pricing is outcome-based (per loop completion, not per seat).Contact hello@betterdata.co for current packaging and terms.
Loop types (canonical)
| Loop | Module | What it governs |
|---|---|---|

scm.fulfillment | SCM | Multi-step order fulfillment |
scm.quality | SCM | Inspection, deviation, CAPA-style disposition |
scm.replenishment | SCM | Demand signal → reorder / replenishment |
dcm.demand | DCM | Demand signal detection and replenishment triggers |

dcm.returns | DCM | Return authorization and reverse logistics |
Runtime HTTP API (hosted-loops)
These routes are implemented under apps/hosted-loops/app/api/ in bd-forge-main (@repo/hosted-loops). Production host / base URL mapping (e.g. loops.betterdata.co) is an implementation detail pending verification.
| Prefix | Purpose (high level) |
|---|---|
/api/v1/loops | List/create loop concerns; /api/v1/loops/catalog, /api/v1/loops/[id], /[id]/start, /[id]/transition, /[id]/cancel, /[id]/events, /[id]/history, /[id]/google/* integrations |
/api/v1/loops/runs | Runs: runs/[runId], runs/compare |
/api/v1/loops/definitions | definitions/[loopId]/runs |
/api/v1/baselines | Baselines CRUD, /[id]/transition, /[id]/true-ups, delivery routes |
/api/v1/connectors/* | Connector health and Slack/Google OAuth + events (/connectors/slack/events, etc.) |
authenticate in route modules (see e.g. apps/hosted-loops/app/api/v1/loops/[id]/transition/route.ts). Exact auth header contract and tenancy claims — implementation detail pending verification (read apps/hosted-loops/lib/auth when documenting publicly).
