FFPG Stack

Written in F#: a functional programming language by Microsoft, inspired by ML languages like OCaml. It features algebraic data types, pattern matching, and immutability, striking a balance between expressiveness and program robustness.

Its functional nature encourages clear, explicit software design, where all cases are thoughtfully handled and well-documented for maintainability.

With a powerful type system, domain modeling becomes seamless, letting you clearly express program intent while enforcing constraints effortlessly.

The SAFE stack is a set of techonologies that facilitate building web applications end to end all in F#. Built by CIT, it utilises open source libraries built for F#.

Elmish → The Elm Architecture
Fable → F# to JS transpiler
Feliz → F# React library
Giraffe → Web Server (Wrapper of ASP.NET Core)
Fable Remoting → Type-safe RPC between client & server

Deployed with Fly.io: a PaaS that runs applications on Firecracker VMs, an open-source serverless system originally developed for AWS Lambda.

One of its standout features is the simplicity of deployment—requiring only a properly configured Dockerfile.

Supports deploying systems across multiple regions and includes various tools for building scalable and globally distributed applications. The developer experience is streamlined and intuitive, comparable to platforms like Vercel, offering a significant contrast to the complexity of AWS or Azure.

Given you have a Dockerfile set up - one command is all you need: $ fly launch You will then be provided the new url for your app

Powered by Postgres: Postgres is more than just a database—it's a powerful backend service capable of handling extensive workloads with features that go far beyond standard data storage.

With support for cron jobs, triggers, and functions, Postgres allows developers to offload logic directly to the database, reducing application complexity. Extensions like PostGIS for geospatial data, pg_cron for job scheduling, and full-text search capabilities expand its functionality further, making it suitable for a wide variety of use cases.

Explore the full potential of Postgres at Postgres for Everything, which showcases its versatility across domains.

Postgres isn't just a database; it's an ecosystem:

Cron Jobs → Automate periodic tasks directly in the database
Triggers → Respond to database events with custom logic
Functions → Encapsulate business logic with stored procedures
Extensions → Enhance capabilities, from analytics to geospatial data

With its rich feature set and extensive ecosystem, Postgres is a natural choice for building robust, scalable, and feature-rich applications.
