ARC by SourceFuse is an open-source Rapid Application Development framework for developing cloud-native enterprise applications, utilizing prebuilt microservices and standardized architectures for deployment on private and public clouds.

IMPORTANT NOTE

From v5 onwards our cli now supports workspaces, transfering the responsibility of managing dependencies from lerna to npm. We will be providing support for our older version v4 till 30th June 2024. For more details on how to migrate from older versions of lerna to latest lerna v7 click here.

ARC API

ARC API (aka Sourceloop), is a collection of pre-built microservices designed to accelerate the development timeline for enterprise projects. These services address common challenges encountered by large enterprises during the development of cloud-native platforms for digital transformation initiatives or new product creation.Implemented as LoopBack Extensions, ARC API services can be seamlessly integrated into existing LoopBack or NestJS applications or generated as standalone services using the LoopBack Command-line interface.

Watch our introduction video to know more about ARC API.

Getting Started

The easiest way to get started with ARC API is to use its command line interface which can be installed using npm install -g @sourceloop/cli. The cli provides quick ways to scaffold a monorepo project, add microservices provided by sourceloop to your projects and many other useful stuff.

Pre-built Micro-services

There are currently 14 Microservices provided and actively maintained:

Other Extensions

ARC API utilizes many LoopBack extensions in the micro-services provided, which are actively maintained by the ARC team.
