Full Stack App Development Kit
🚧 Live Demo · Tech Stack · Getting Started

Goal

🐶Dogokit Akita is a comprehensive, opinionated full stack application development kit. Encompassing JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, Bun, and more. It serves as a versatile reference for constructing robust web applications, that can scale from zero to millions of users.

• Default frontend web with React and Tailwind CSS.
• Optional backend API with GraphQL or REST API.
• Interchangeable ORM with Prisma or Drizzle.
• Bring your own thing from non-JS ecosystem.

Benefits

1. Build website or web app quickly with pre-built modules.
2. Optionally scale API complexity with GraphQL/REST/tRPC.
3. Customize architecture flexibly, with the defaults should not use any 3rd party services.
4. Deploy anywhere from a single VPS to any cloud provider, no vendor lock-in.
5. Demonstrate the JavaScript developer experience ecosystem capability, as alternative to existing one like RedwoodJS, and the others such as PHP with Laravel, Ruby with Rails, Python with Django, etc.
