I have been working on pikku.dev, a typescript server library / framework that does most things and deploys in most places [1] Been a project I was using for a few years now. Initially started off as express middleware with a few tools

Pikku is a TypeScript backend framework that lets you write your backend as plain functions, similar to Lambdas, but without any platform tie-in. Each function can be wired to whatever transport you want: - HTTP / WebSockets /

Thank you for the feedback! I agree framing pikku has been a pretty hard challenge for me. It supports different runtimes in the sense of deno / bun or custom nodeJS runtimes in the cloud, but ultimately relies purely on typescript &#

I have been working on https://pikku.dev The goal is to provide a fully typed nodeJS framework that allows you to write a typescript function once and then decide whether to wire it up to http, websocket, queues, scheduled tasks

I agree it’s pretty frustrating, but I do really like the SSR capabilities I’m divide my frontend and backend via pikku, that way I can continue using normal server side functions but optionally spin up a seperate api service if needed. Hav

Most backends still treat HTTP as the “first-class citizen,” and everything else (WebSockets, queues, cron, mcp) feels bolted on with custom wiring and their own typings if any. Pikku aims to take a different approach: - Define a function o

I would recommend looking into being able to recognise ‘thought viruses’ A book that really helped me was ‘Stop overthinking’ by Nick Trenton. I still have those thoughts, Anxiety isn’t the easiest thing to get rid of. Find what it is that

I’m working on https://pikku.dev It’s a TypeScript web framework that’s runtime agnostic, so it can work on serverless and servers (similar to Hono). What’s different is that the focus is primarily just on TypeScript. There’s a

I have been working on an idea/Node.js library called vramework.dev recently, and a big part of it focuses on addressing the main complexities mentioned below. For a bit of background, in order to tackle scalability, the initial approa

I raised an issue here https://github.com/vramework/vramework/issues/119 , feel free to add any info that can help. Note to self: need to signup to X! If deploying off of vercel is acceptable, it can be done p

Also curious how you would want Websocket servers to talk to each other (to broadcast messages). Would you be okay having a pub sub layer like redis that nestjs servers run on? Also is running on vercel a requirement?

The difference between the two versions is that we now have a cli, whereas before you needed to call scripts to do the same things

Yes it’s ws using lambda, the worker-starter example shows how it works Also abstracts away the idea of an eventbus which is pretty critical in any Websocket deployment. It doesn’t use Websocket directly via Vercel, but would work if you u

Heya! It’s used in three companies so far, but the new productised (via the cli) version is still in development / qa stages There is one company that has been using it for over four years tho! Just checked in and seems to be working s

Looks great! I build something similar (vramework.dev), actually on my way now to give a talk on it Got a presentation for it at presentation.vramework.dev if anyone is interested

This looks incredible, thank you for creating it! I have been looking for something exactly like this for a while now

I feel that with typescript you can sort of build an SDK by creating a thin wrapper around fetch and have it consume the API types as a generic. This way you still have the benefits of type safety without the bloat of creating an actual SDK

Do you think having a normalization layer between serverless and server-based approaches could actually help with the issue of becoming too dependent? I find that the tight integration with providers like Azure, AWS, or CloudFront can make

I think lambdas work really well for doing things as a reaction. So for example, uploading an image to s3 could trigger a job, or having them run in parallel on a job queue since they theoretically scale way better then spinning up lots of

I personally went down the route of creating a mini wrapper around functionless/functions which allow me to run things locally via a server and then when it comes to deployment decide whether it should run via serverless or docker &#x2
