A small introduction on the Multijet monorepo framework

This documentation is still a work in progress, expect missing pages and information.

What is multijet?

Multijet is a highly opinionated framework for building large microservice based monorepos in Typescript.

The core concept of multijet is the microservices/libs structure:

• Each microservice is a separate Node.js project usually based on the Fastify web framework.

• The packages included in the libs/ folder also are separate Node.js projects that can be installed and used either by a microservice or by another lib.

Thanks to turborepo and esbuild, multijet can build and bundle all your microservices and their dependencies in a matter of milliseconds.

Features

• Extremely fast builds

• OpenAPI-first design

• Modular and flexible

• Multiple deploy methods

• Easily configurable

• Single file bundled Microservices

Even if Multijet gives highly opinionated default settings, it is very flexible thanks to its tech stack nature (rather than being a "closed" framework). You can do pretty much anything by just tweaking the main configuration files.

Here are a just a few example of what other things you can do easily:

• Build a frontend and backend monorepo with shared libraries

• Make a monolithic backend instead of a microservice based

• Build a consistent, nicely structured, non-web Node.js software or CLI

• Literally anything that involves having a structured project with extremely fast build times and nice to use tooling 🎉
