Kuzzle

Why Kuzzle ?

Kuzzle is a generic backend offering the basic building blocks common to every application.

Rather than developing the same standard features over and over again each time you create a new application, Kuzzle proposes them off the shelf, allowing you to focus on building high-level, high-value business functionalities.

Kuzzle enables you to build modern web applications and complex IoT networks in no time.

• API First: use a standardised multi-protocol API.
• Persisted Data: store your data and perform advanced searches on it.
• Realtime Notifications: use the pub/sub system or subscribe to database notifications.
• User Management: login, logout and security rules are no more a burden.
• Extensible: develop advanced business feature directly with the integrated framework.
• Client SDKs: use our SDKs to accelerate the frontend development.

Kuzzle in production

Kuzzle is production-proof, and can be deployed anywhere.

With Kuzzle, it is possible to deploy applications that can serve tens of thousands of users with very good performances.

Run Kuzzle

The easiest way to start a Kuzzle application is to use Kourou:

kourou app:scaffold playground

 🚀 Kourou - Scaffolds a new Kuzzle application

generic
  ✔ Checking destination
  ✔ Prepare temporary folder
  ✔ Cloning template repository
  ✔ Copying template files
  ✔ Cleaning up

 [✔] Scaffolding complete!
 [✔] Use cd playground && docker compose up -d to start your Kuzzle stack.

Then you need to run Kuzzle services, Elasticsearch and Redis: kourou app:start-services

Finally you can run your application inside Docker with npm run docker:dev

Kuzzle is now listening for requests on the port 7512!

Use the framework

Your first Kuzzle application is inside the app.ts file.

For example, you can add a new API Controller:

import { Backend } from 'kuzzle';

const app = new Backend('playground');

app.controller.register('greeting', {
  actions: {
    sayHello: {
      handler: async request => `Hello, ${request.input.args.name}`
    }
  }
});

app.start()
  .then(() => {
    app.log.info('Application started');
  })
  .catch(console.error);

Now try to call your new API action by:

• opening the generated URL in your browser: http://localhost:7512/_/greeting/say-hello?name=Yagmur
• using Kourou: npx kourou greeting:sayHello --arg name=Yagmur
