spence - an simple nodejs API Framework

Opinionated API Framework For Fastify and Postgres for FAST coding and EXTREME extensibility

Getting started:

• creating a table
• creating a controller
• subscribe to changes

Philosophy

• FP first
• Productivity oriented
• extensible and flexible. Easy to customize
• Scalable - monolith are easy, microservices made fun
• Best practices
  • schemas & comprehensive integration tests are the most effective ways to document and create a maintainable system
• Performance is important
• ORMs - only change a db for specialization reasons. The native query language is usually the best What is familiar but of no benefit:
• DI - IoC & mocking can be done in other ways
• Classes - (statics, singletons pointless)

Controllers

• adding extra routes
• multitenant support

Events

• monoliths
• rabbit
• redis
• errors

Auth

• api tokens
• oauth
• userId

Errors

• errors & error handling
• the importance of error reporting & aggregation

Database

• finders
• db configuration
• creating an effect extension

Testing
