Wasp is a fully open-source, full-stack web framework for React, Node.js, and Prisma. Use it to develop and deploy any web application backed by a database with all the common features ready out-of-the-box, without any 3rd party services - authentication, cron jobs, sending emails, …
Wasp is currently in Beta and has been used to create over 25,000 projects. It also has its own GPT-powered SaaS starter that you can use for free to create a full-stack app codebase from a short description.
How it works?
Wasp is based on a simple configuration language backed by a custom-made compiler. This lets Wasp understand your web app's complete structure and requirements, from front-end to database and even deployment, resulting in faster development and much less boilerplate code.
The best part is that you still write most of your code in the stack you already know, React & Node.js, and have complete flexibility to use your favorite npm libraries. Wasp is just a tool to help you move faster, with best practices included.
