Open Source TypeScript Serverless Framework Skeet Ver.2 Released

ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, CEO Fumitake Kawasaki) is proud to announce the release of Ver.2 of the open-source TypeScript serverless app development tool, Skeet.

The new version introduces a more refined architecture for easier management, facilitates test-driven development, and achieves higher security through the use of callable functions from Firebase.

It also features a Scaffold functionality that instantly generates Web API code from data models, significantly improving the productivity of Skeet developers.

Main Updates in Skeet Ver.2

The update to Skeet Ver.2 includes the following improvements:

Introduction of pnpm

The introduction of pnpm revolutionizes package management for large projects and monorepos. Saving disk space and speeding up package installation directly accelerate the development cycle. Utilization of caches through integration with GitHub Actions contributes to the efficiency of CI/CD pipelines, while reducing build times enhances project agility.

Introduction of vitest

The update to vitest encourages the adoption of test-driven development (TDD) and strengthens the quality assurance process. The introduction of daemon mode, which runs tests immediately upon detecting changes, allows developers to quickly receive feedback on code modifications, promoting early bug detection and resolution.

Introduction of Changesets

Transitioning to a monorepo and introducing Changesets offer significant advantages in automating version management and release processes. This allows for efficient management of dependencies across multiple packages, enhancing the transparency and traceability of projects through automated changelog generation and release notes creation.

Introduction of SQL Template (Hono Web Server) Scaffold

Automatic generation of CRUD APIs through Hono Web Server using Prisma model definitions contributes to the rapid development of applications. This approach simplifies the process from data modeling to API endpoint implementation, allowing developers to focus more on business logic.

Support for Firebase Functions Callable

By utilizing callable functions from Firebase Functions, functions can be created that are callable only from within your Firebase app, without exposing https endpoints. This significantly enhances security.
