Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.

Stop assembling 20 different packages. Laju gives you a complete, opinionated stack that just works — auth, database, frontend, testing, and deployment included.

Express.js

Minimalist Framework

✗ No built-in auth
✗ No frontend integration
✗ No database ORM
✗ Manual testing setup
✗ 11x slower (22k req/s)
✗ Manual deployment config

Next.js

React Framework

~ React complexity overhead
✗ API routes separation
✗ No built-in auth
✗ Vercel lock-in pressure
~ Client-side hydration
✗ Complex caching rules

Laju

Full-Stack Monolith

BEST

✓ Complete auth (session + OAuth)
✓ Svelte 5 + Inertia.js built-in
✓ Type-safe SQLite (Kysely)
✓ Testing & CI/CD ready
✓ 258k req/sec performance
✓ AI-optimized structure

AI-First Design

Describe. Review. Ship.

Laju's standardized structure lets AI understand your codebase instantly. Simply mention @workflow/INIT_AGENT.md to start, then describe your app.

AI Workflow Demo

You

@workflow/INIT_AGENT.md
"I need a blog system with posts, categories, and comments. Users should be able to comment after logging in with Google."

INIT_AGENT activated! I'll setup your project:

• Create PRD, TDD, PROGRESS docs
• Setup design system & migrations
• Configure GitHub Actions CI/CD
• Prepare TASK_AGENT for implementation

Next: Mention @workflow/TASK_AGENT.md to build features

Done! 8 files created. Running migrations...

Switch from Express in 5 Minutes

Laju feels familiar if you know Express, but gives you 10x more out of the box. Same patterns, supercharged capabilities.

Express.js — The Old Way ~50 lines setup

const express = require('express');

const app = express();

const cors = require('cors');

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');

const multer = require('multer');

// ... 15 more packages to install

// Setup auth middleware manually

// Configure database connection

// Setup file upload handlers

// Create API documentation

app.get('/', (req, res) => {

res.json({ msg: 'Hello' });

});

npm install express cors jwt bcrypt multer mongoose passport ... (30+ deps)

Laju — The New Way Zero setup

// Everything built-in. Just write features.

class PostController {

async index(req, res) {

// Type-safe database queries

const posts = await DB

.selectFrom('posts')

.selectAll()

.execute();

// Auth already configured

// Inertia.js for SPA feel

return res.inertia('posts/index', { posts });

}

✓ Auth ready ✓ Database ready ✓ Frontend ready ✓ Testing ready

Laju is designed for AI-driven development. Simply mention the workflow file to activate the right agent.

How to use AI Agents

Initialize Project

Start by mentioning INIT_AGENT with your app description:

@workflow/INIT_AGENT.md
"I want to build a task management app with teams, projects, and real-time notifications."

Build Features

After setup, mention TASK_AGENT to implement features:

@workflow/TASK_AGENT.md
"Create the dashboard page with task lists and project cards"
