# Platform Service

The Platform Service is a backend microservice responsible for management operations in Solace Agent Mesh. It operates independently from other components, allowing it to scale separately.

## What Does It Provide?​

The Platform Service provides the backend infrastructure for:

- Agent Builder (Enterprise) - Create, read, update, and delete AI agents
- Connector Management (Enterprise) - Manage database connectors that enable agents to query SQL databases
- Deployment Orchestration (Enterprise) - Deploy agents to runtime environments
- Deployer Monitoring (Enterprise) - Track health and availability of deployer services

## Running the Platform Service​

A sample Platform Service configuration is automatically generated when you run:

    sam init --gui

When prompted to enable the WebUI Gateway, select Yes. This will generate `configs/services/platform.yaml` with all necessary configuration.

Start the Platform Service using the SAM CLI:

    sam run configs/services/platform.yaml

The service runs on port 8001 by default.

note

A Platform Service instance is only required when running the WebUI Gateway in combination with Agent Mesh Enterprise.
