skip ·

Skip is an open-source framework for building reactive backend services.

It is based on a custom-built native backend for efficient reactive computation, allowing your system to deliver up-to-date and correct results without requiring any bug-prone manual dependency tracking and updating.

TypeScript interfaces and abstractions are provided so that you can write a reactive service using standard tools while also taking advantage of the Skip framework's abstractions for efficient reactivity.

Installation

To get started, install the NPM packages for the Skip runtime API, server, and helpers:

npm install @skipruntime/api @skipruntime/server @skipruntime/helpers

From there, you're ready to start building a reactive service! See the getting started guide to walk through some of Skip's core concepts by example and get up to speed.

Documentation

See our documentation here for introductions to the core concepts, components, and features of the Skip framework, or dive into the API docs for comprehensive explanations of our TypeScript interfaces and abstractions.

Examples

Some small examples of reactive services are available, demonstrating patterns of reactive programming. Another example is designed to serve as an example of how to deploy and configure a reactive service, using Docker compose to package and orchestrate a backend complete with a reactive service, database, backend web service, and reverse proxy.
