mlldx

Ephemeral mlld for CI/CD and serverless environments.

Installation

# Run directly with npx
npx mlldx script.mld

# Or install globally
npm install -g mlldx
mlldx script.mld

What is mlldx?

mlldx is a specialized version of mlld designed for ephemeral environments like:

• GitHub Actions
• Vercel Functions
• AWS Lambda
• Docker containers
• CI/CD pipelines

Key Features

• No filesystem persistence - All caching happens in memory
• Auto-approves imports - No interactive prompts that would hang CI/CD
• Zero configuration - Works out of the box in serverless environments
• Same mlld syntax - All your existing mlld scripts work unchanged

Why mlldx?

Standard mlld is designed for development environments with:

• Persistent filesystem for module caching
• Interactive prompts for security
• Local .mlld-cache directory

mlldx adapts mlld for environments where:

• Filesystems are read-only or ephemeral
• User interaction is impossible
• Performance matters (in-memory caching)
• Security is handled by the environment

Example

# In GitHub Actions
- name: Run mlld script
  run: npx mlldx my-script.mld

# With environment variables
- name: Run with secrets
  env:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  run: npx mlldx process-data.mld
