Welcome

Thorin.js is the Node.js framework that you can use to easily:

Boot up a pre-configured web-server, sanitize and validate all your input

Render static HTML files using a templating engine, compile your less & sass styles

Integrate centralized logging with loglet.io

Use secure sessions in your requests, stored in redis, MySQL or file system

Use already written components for some wide-spread services (Redis, ElasticSearch, Sequelize)

Use a centralized dispatcher to handle your redux actions via HTTP or WebSockets

Schedule recurring tasks that may use a redis queue to process events

Extend the core functionality with use-case specific plugins

Integrate with sconfig.io's discovery system for microservice discovery & authorization

And much much more...

The bootstrapping time of an application built with Thorin is dramatically reduced, as most critical decisions were made by the accumulated experience on working with large scale applications over time. The project structure is simple yet powerful, enabling you to boot up an application within minutes.

Use cases

The Thorin.js framework actually contains a single core module that is used and extended by various other components. Therefore, when we talk about a use-case, we actually talk about which components are suited for the job. Some of the use cases we had in mind can be viewed below.

You can use any combination of plugins, stores or transports to facilitate your app's need, in a microservice oriented architecture, to avoid monolithic problems in the future.
