Spoonbill

Spoonbill is a server-side single-page application framework for Scala 3. The browser runs a small JS bridge. The server owns all application state and renders UI updates. Client and server are combined into a single app without any REST protocol in the middle.

Why?

• A shared browser runtime that does not grow with application code

• Comparable to static HTML client-side RAM consumption

• Indexable pages out of the box

• Routing out of the box

• Build extremely large app without increasing size of the page

• No need to make CRUD REST service

• Connect to infrastructure (DBMS, Message queue) directly from application

• Coordinate browser authentication in Scala with atomic memory or PostgreSQL host transactions
