Note: We are quite disciplined on tech stack. If you consider bringing a new programming language, framework and any non-trivial external dependency, please open a discussion first.

🏗 Development

Bytebase is built with a curated tech stack. It is optimized for developer experience and is very easy to start working on the code:

1. It has no external dependency.
2. It requires zero config.
3. 1 command to start backend and 1 command to start frontend, both with live reload support.

Prerequisites

• Go (1.19 or later)
• pnpm
• Air (must use forked repo 87187cc). This is for backend live reload.

Steps

1. Install forked Air 87187cc. Use 87187cc because it has the cherrypicked fix.

   go install github.com/bytebase/air@87187cc

1. Pull source.

   git clone https://github.com/bytebase/bytebase

1. Start backend using air (with live reload).

   air -c scripts/.air.toml

Change the open file limit if you encounter "error: too many open files".

   ulimit -n 10240

If you need additional runtime parameters such as --backup-bucket, please add them like this:

   air -c scripts/.air.toml -- --backup-region us-east-1 --backup-bucket s3:\\/\\/example-bucket --backup-credential ~/.aws/credentials

1. Start frontend (with live reload).

   cd frontend && pnpm i && pnpm dev

Bytebase should now be running at http://localhost:3000 and change either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.

1. (Optional) Install pre-commit.

   cd bytebase
   pre-commit install
   pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
