forge

Purpose

Implement core backend services, request handling, configuration, and business logic in a clean service shape.

Why it matters

When backend foundations are weak, business rules leak across the system and reliability problems become harder to isolate.

Scope

This repo focuses on service structure, handlers, health checks, and runtime boundaries. It does not try to cover every backend pattern at once.

System Role

forge is the backend implementation layer for the ecosystem. It turns architecture into executable services that other layers can depend on.

System Connections

• Depends on: atlas for boundaries and vault for persistence decisions.
• Feeds into: summit, relay, orbit.
• Interacts with: vault, flux, signal.

Core Concepts

• request handling
• service boundaries
• business rules
• configuration loading
• health checks

Minimal Artifact

src/index.ts, src/config.ts, and src/health.ts form the starter service skeleton.

Notes

The goal is a credible baseline for small services: readable structure, predictable startup, and clear extension points.

Next Steps

Add middleware, persistence adapters, and contract-testing hooks without turning the repo into a framework.
