Hono

The tiny, fast web framework that runs Kavel's API on the Workers runtime.

Why it's here

We picked Hono because it speaks Web-standard Request and Response, adds almost no overhead, and starts with virtually no cold start. It is the perfect fit for the Workers runtime that Kavel targets.

What to know

  • The API is a Hono app in apps/api. It is the single entry point for every backend request.
  • oRPC mounts onto the Hono app, so your typed procedures and any plain HTTP routes live side by side.
  • Cross-cutting concerns (CORS, auth) are ordinary Hono middleware.
