ndx-server

A lightweight, modular server framework built on Express and Alasql, providing a schemaless SQL database that treats JavaScript objects as first-class citizens. Version 0.18.1 is the latest stable release, with no regular update cadence. It eliminates the need for a dedicated database server, persists to S3 with minimal reads/writes, and uses sessionless tokens that survive server restarts. Key differentiators include auto-loading of modules from startup, services, and controllers folders, built-in authentication and token generation, and a plugin ecosystem for auth, sockets, and database backups. Designed for rapid prototyping and small-to-medium scale applications, it also supports scaling via ndx-sync.
