Fougere is a TypeScript backend framework that centers around schema-driven development, deriving validation, database tables, and APIs (JSON-RPC, REST, GraphQL) from a single entity class. It introduces 'fronds' as bounded contexts that can run embedded or as separate processes, enabling flexible deployment topologies with automatic migrations, typed errors, and observability. The project is ambitious and technically complex, blending DDD, hexagonal architecture, and polyglot support.

Target audience: backend developers
