Auk Core

Auk is a modern, type-safe event bus and background job framework for TypeScript projects. It is designed to make event-driven architectures and background processing simple, maintainable and extensible.

What is Auk?

Auk provides a unified API for defining, emitting, and consuming events with full type safety using TypeBox schemas. It supports both local and distributed modes, allowing you to scale from single-instance apps to multi-instance, brokered deployments.

Key features include:

• Type-safe event schemas for reliable event contracts
• Fluent producer and consumer APIs for easy registration and handling
• Flexible triggers (cron, message queue, custom sources) for background jobs
• Middleware support for cross-cutting concerns
• Graceful lifecycle management and cleanup

Why?

Auk was created to address the fragmentation, complexity and boilerplate often found in event-driven and background job systems. By leveraging TypeScript's type system and a modular, fluent API, Auk helps you:

• Reduce runtime errors with compile-time event validation
• Write less boilerplate for producers, consumers, and triggers
• Compose and extend event-driven logic with ease
