Compose applications from services

Tripla is a full-stack TypeScript platform where data is modelled as JSON documents validated against JSON Schema, and behaviour is composed from a service framework with swappable connectors — so most of an application is configuration, not bespoke code.

Founding principles

Four ideas shape every part of the platform.

Composable architecture

Models are declared as JSON Schema; behaviour and workflows are composed from small, swappable services and configuration documents — assembled, not hand-coded, and reshaped at runtime without a deployment.

Type safety, end to end

Written entirely in TypeScript from the document store to the SDK and UI, with JSON Schema validation at the boundaries and inferred types across every layer.

Service-oriented

Capabilities are abstract service definitions; concrete connectors — SurrealDB, PostgreSQL, Express and more — are selected by configuration and swapped without touching business logic.

Document-centric

Every record is a JSON document validated against its model, with references, embedded documents and a transport- and store-agnostic query model.

How it fits together

Tripla is a monorepo of small, focused parts that compose into running apps.

Packages

The framework libraries — types, configuration, the loader, the service runtime and the plugin framework — each owning a single concern.

Plugins

Small capability plugins build on the packages: document-store and file-store connectors, logging, auth, scheduling, workflows and more.

Apps

The backend, admin and head apps assemble packages and plugins — the backend serves the API, while admin and head are Nuxt apps built with Nuxt UI.

Platform

Concepts, the apps (backend, admin, head), the service architecture and how to build plugins.

Core

The concrete framework: packages, connectors, services, models and the reference.

Authentication

The auth substrate — actors, roles and policies, providers, sign-in and bot protection.

Workflows

Automate business rules from the Admin with triggers and sequential node pipelines.

Diagnostics

Health checks, metrics, instrumentation, profiling, log query and audit.

Plugins

The feature ecosystems: content, commerce and procurement.

Licensing

Encrypted artifacts, the licensing hub, client validation and air-gapped deployment.
