Note: We are quite disciplined on tech stack. If you consider bringing a new programming language, framework and any non-trivial external dependency, please open a discussion first.

🏗 Development

Bytebase is built with a curated tech stack. It is optimized for developer experience and is very easy to start working on the code:

1. It has no external dependency.
2. It requires zero config.
3. 1 command to start backend and 1 command to start frontend, both with live reload support.

Coding guideline

Tech Stack

Data Model

Prerequisites

• Go (1.16 or later)
• pnpm
• Air (1.27.10 or later). This is for backend live reload.

Steps

1. Install Air.

2. Pull source.

   git clone https://github.com/bytebase/bytebase

3. Set up pre-commit hooks.

   • Install pre-commit

    cd bytebase
    pre-commit install
    pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg

4. Start backend using air (with live reload).

   air -c scripts/.air.toml

   Change the open file limit if you encounter "error: too many open files".

   ulimit -n 10240

5. Start frontend (with live reload).

   cd frontend && pnpm i && pnpm dev

Bytebase should now be running at https://localhost:3000 and change either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.
