Write workflows. Watch them run. Ship to production.
How It Works
Install Hot
Mac, Windows, Linux
curl -sSL https://hot.dev/install.sh | sh
Or download install packages at hot.dev/downloads coming soon
Initialize a new Hot project
Add to any existing codebase
cd dev/so-fire-backend/ hot init so-fire
Creates a .hot data directory, hot/src source directory, and hot.hot configuration file
Write some Hot code
in hot/src
$ns ::so-fire::user send-welcome-email #{"on-event": "user:created", "doc": "Send a welcome email to the user after created"} fn (event) { ::resend::emails/post-emails( SendEmailRequest({ "from": "hello@we-are-so-fire.com", "to": event.data.user.email, "subject": "Welcome to SoFire!", "html": "<p>Welcome to SoFire!</p>" }) ) }
