SAE Framework

0.20.24 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript deprecated

SAE Framework is a microservices API engine for Node.js. Current version 0.20.24 is in early development with incomplete documentation and unstable APIs. Release cadence is irregular. Differentiators aim to provide lightweight, opinionated microservice scaffolding, but the project lacks maturity. Not recommended for production use as core features are still marked as TODO, including auth context cleanup and field filtering.

error SAE is not a constructor ↓

Warnings

breaking API is unstable and not versioned; major breaking changes can occur in patch releases. ↓

fix Use alternative frameworks like Express, Fastify, or Koa.

app.start(() => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});
