Built-in services

Jadpo gives your app some common backend features itself, so you don't install a library or write your own. Each is part of Jadpo's runtime and runs inside your app's process, never as a separate container. Some reach an outside service, such as a mail provider, through a connection you declare in app.jadpo. Each has one page: what it's for and how to use it, then its exact rules last. How packages, connections, capabilities and services fit together says how the pieces relate.

A feature is built in only when the compiler gains something by knowing about it: a mistake becomes a compile error, a test or a report is generated, policy or erasure reaches it, or the runtime does the work with nothing for you to write. Saving a library install isn't enough. What isn't built in says why each service is here, and where you set it up.

ServiceStateWhat's missing
Email

Emails as typed values: templates the compiler checks, sent after your action commits, caught in tests and in a dev inbox.

built
Files

A File field on a record, with the bytes kept in a store of files.

partlyUploads, downloads, the S3 driver and jadpo files
Feature flags

A feature flag lets you ship code switched off, then turn it on for some users, a share of users, or everyone, without a deploy.

partlyTurning a flag on for a named tenant; erasing a person from the flag tables
Rate limits

A rate limit caps how many requests a caller may make in a period.

partlyThe Redis store; turning a limit off
Search

Give an entity a search: section and people can search its records by words.

partlyOutside search engines, jadpo search reindex and sensitive fields
Audit trail

An entity's history of changes: who made each, when, and what it changed, kept when you ask for it.

partlyPersonal fields in a history, and more on its page; publishing
AI

Your app can ask a language model for an answer, a stream of text or an embedding (a list of numbers that stands for a text's meaning).

partlykeep_content:, embed: batches below 100 and jadpo call
Monitoring

A threshold says when something your app does is too slow, too frequent or failing too often, such as a route's p95 duration.

partlyTelemetry, recording the path each request takes, and jadpo traces, metrics, logs and path
Caches

Copies of records and query results kept in Redis, so busy pages read them quickly.

Documents

A document is something your app renders for people to keep, such as an invoice as a PDF.

not builtAll of it
Bot protection

Bot protection stops scripts from using a public form, such as a sign-up or a demo request.

not builtAll of it
Outgoing webhooks

Outgoing webhooks let your app's customers receive its events at an address of their own.

What isn't built in

Some features other frameworks offer aren't part of Jadpo, because the compiler gains little by knowing about them.
