Skip is an open-source framework for building reactive backend services, featuring an incremental compute engine that automatically keeps declarative views up to date without manual dependency tracking. It includes the Skiplang toolchain for its native runtime and SKDB, a reactive SQL database.

Use cases

• build real-time backend APIs that push updates to clients
• incrementally recompute derived data without manual cache invalidation
• serve live views over HTTP or subscriptions to web and mobile apps
• implement CQRS or real-time BFF layers with declarative logic
• run a reactive SQL database alongside a backend service
• avoid recomputation costs when streaming or batch data changes

When to choose

• you need real-time features without hand-writing stream processing
• you want automatic, correct incremental recomputation of derived state
• you prefer declarative, side-effect-free programming models
• you work in TypeScript with Node.js or Bun

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested framework with a large ecosystem
• your workload is simple CRUD with no reactive requirements
• you cannot adopt a custom language toolchain (Skiplang) for the native runtime
• you need more than Wasm's 32-bit memory limits without native setup
