Managing Runners

What are Runners?

CurieTech offers Private Runners for secure runtime execution of your Mulesoft tasks.

Private Runners (Enterprise Feature)

  • Run in your own infrastructure (on-premises, private cloud, or VPC)
  • Keep your code and data within your security perimeter
  • Full control over execution environment and resources

What Do Runners Do?

From a customer standpoint, runners execute your Mulesoft tasks securely:

  1. Build & Test: Compile your Mule applications and run test suites
  2. Deploy: Deploy applications to your Mulesoft environments
  3. Access Private Resources: Connect to Anypoint Exchange and internal APIs required for the Integration testing agent
  4. Maintain State: Download and cache dependencies (Java, Maven, Mule Runtime)

Adding a Private Runner

Note: Private Runners require the "Private Runners" feature in your workspace settings.

Step 1: Create Runner Registration

  1. Navigate to your workspace settings
  2. Click the Add Runner button
  3. Configure your runner:
    • Runner Name: Enter a meaningful name (e.g., Production-US-East-Runner)
    • Operating System: Select your target OS:
      • Linux amd64
      • Linux arm64
      • macOS Intel (amd64)
      • macOS Apple Silicon (arm64)
      • Windows amd64 (via WSL)
      • Windows arm64 (via WSL)
  4. Click Create Runner

Step 2: Install Runner on Your Server

After creating the runner, CurieTech generates a unique installation command:

curl -LsSf -H 'X-Runner-Token: {your-jwt-token}' \
https://platform.curietech.ai/api/runner/install/script | sh -s --

Run this command on your target server. The installation script will:

  1. Create your runner's configuration
  2. Download the platform-specific runner binary from CurieTech
  3. Start the runner process automatically

Step 3: Verify Runner Status

Return to the CurieTech UI to verify your runner is active:

  • Active (green checkmark): Runner is polling and ready to execute tasks
  • Inactive (warning): Runner hasn't polled in the last 60 seconds

  2. Navigate to workspace settings
