Framework

Niral — the ultra-light web framework

A from-scratch, server-rendered web framework by Zyora Labs. Sub-second builds, a ~200 MB memory footprint and file-based routing — built to ship fast and run anywhere.

# scaffold a new app
npx create-niral myapp

cd myapp
niral dev            # local dev server
niral build          # production build (~0.2s)
niral start -p 8080  # serve, binds 0.0.0.0

Requires Node 22+. Deploys on the Zyora stack out of the box.

File-based routing

Drop a file in routes/ and it becomes a route. No config, no boilerplate — the file tree is the router.

Sub-second builds

Builds in about 0.2 seconds. Iterate at the speed of thought — no waiting on a bundler.

Tiny footprint

Runs in roughly 200 MB of RAM. Light enough for the smallest container or the cheapest VPS.

Deploy anywhere

One command to production on the Zyora stack (zHost) — or any host with Node 22+.

Niral is part of Zyora Labs' from-scratch stack — alongside Axis (AI training) and ZSE (GPU inference).
