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.

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
