Scalra
node framework to prototype and scale API servers rapidly.
require('scalra')('curr');
SR.API.add('HelloWorld', {
name: 'string'
}, function (args, onDone) {
LOG.warn('HelloWorld called with: ' + args);
onDone(null, {hello: args.name});
});
var l_frontier = new SR.Frontier(37070);
l_frontier.init();Then called at server:
SR.API.HelloWorld({name: 'John'}, function (err, result) {
LOG.debug('positive test result: ');
if (err) {
return LOG.error(err);
}
LOG.warn(result);
});Or at clients:
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/lib/scalra.js"></script>
<script>
var onConnect = function () {
SR.API.HelloWorld({name: 'world'}, function (err, result) {
if (err) {
return alert(err);
}
document.write('Hello: ' + result.hello);
console.log(result);
});
}
</script>
</head></html>Or request from URL:

- Write one API logic for any connection types (HTTP/HTTPS/websocket/socket)
- Logic is called in the same style at both client and server
- Shared sessions between HTTP and WebSocket requests
- Publish / subscribe (pub/sub) as messaging layer
- Auto-reload of modified logic scripts
- Works out-of-box with MongoDB and Express
- In-memory DataStore that access and update DB data simply as variables

Scalra is designed to allow server developers to focus on logic development instead of networking or server management issues. Once developed using the Scalra framework, the server's reliability, security, and scalability is automatically covered without having to worry about re-writing code when the service is under heavy workload.
Additional functionalities can be added with pluggable Scalra modules.
