goals

Yggdrasil is a framework for developing scalable nodejs applications. There are multiple aspects of application development that are already taken into account

Time to First Prototype

Do you know that feeling when you have a great idea but it takes hours or maybe days to get to the first prototype. This can be exhausting and demotivating.

Yggdrasil will take several tasks off your hands and let you focus on your idea.

Extendability

Most successful application change over time, parts of the application are added, changed or removed afterwards. As your application grows bigger and more complex changing it becomes more and more difficult.

Yggdrasil encourages you to write your application in a decoupled manner from the beginning.

Scalability

Often startups come to a point where they need to scale out their application, realizing that their application was not designed to scale. This leaves them with no choice other than to redesign and rewrite major parts of their application.

Yggrdasil was designed with scalability in mind and passes this on to your application, making it scalable with only few small handles.

Testability

Strong Reuse of code

After having done multiple smaller projects one after another I often stopped and though: "Haven't I written nearly exactly the same code the other day?".

Yggdrasil at its core uses services which encapsulate a part of the application. This services can easily be written to be used across different applications and shared with the community.

Haven't I have seen this before?

This really sounds like SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). Yes, yes it is.

getting started

This section is under construction

Currently:

• run npm init
• run npm install yggdrasil-core
• set up infrastucture (src/service folder etc.)
• run npm install some-service
• add it into the infrastructure
• run your application

How Yggdrasil shall work in the future:

• once install ysm from npm npm i -g ysm
• run ysm init
• run ysm install some-service
• run your application
