crafta

Modular backend toolkit that acts as the backbone for Crafta ecosystem packages.

stablecraftacore

Overview

crafta core provides the runtime shape for package-based backend architecture.

Framework-like productivity with library-like flexibility
Composable middleware pipeline for large apps
Designed for incremental package adoption

Positioning

Crafta core is designed for teams that want production patterns without locking into monolith framework constraints.

Small primitives with ecosystem-level consistency
Supports drop-in auth and communication modules
Keeps business logic in your app, not hidden magic

Install

Start with a minimal Node.js app and install crafta from npm.

npm install crafta
Create app instance and plug packages
Expose only the routes your product needs

Minimal core setup

const { crafta } = require("crafta");

const app = crafta();
app.get("/health", (_req, res) => res.json({ ok: true }));
app.listen(3000);

Plugin Model

Packages behave like modules that can be switched on and configured with simple JSON objects.

Shared initialization shape across packages
Easy environment-aware toggles
Stable extension path as modules grow

Deployment

Crafta core is deployment-agnostic and can run in containerized or VM environments.

Works with Node process managers
Supports horizontal scaling with stateless APIs
Compatible with CI/CD release workflows

Best Practices

Use modular boundaries, central error handling, and observability from day one.

Keep domain logic in separate services
Use per-module config contracts
Track auth, data, and messaging events centrally

Next Steps

Continue with implementation in your app, then validate flows using staging-first checks before production rollout.
