What is Skyscraper?

Sales pitch:

Skyscraper is the only framework you'll need to create and scale your complex business application into a multi-billion-dollar public company.

Technical explanation:

Skyscraper is:

• A service-oriented backend framework utilizing a dependency-injection container, making for modular code and 100% dependency-free unit tests.
• Abstractions for BullMQ to make background jobs (and a cron schedule) easy to develop, test, and consume via GraphQL, including subscriptions.
• Modular GraphQL schema-building design pattern requiring no GQL.
• GraphQL codegen and React Query helper methods to simplify data fetching, again requiring no GQL.
• DX helpers such as a single command for dev'ing locally, and a production REPL.
• All with 100% type safety from backend to frontend.

Library dependencies:

• Prisma
• BullMQ
• GQTX
• NextJS
• React Query
• Jest
