Project Hestia

Project Hestia is a powerful open-source backend framework and runtime that aims to simplify the development of scalable, distributed applications by providing a modular set of core services such as user authentication, permission enforcement, event streaming, and service orchestration. Built with modern application needs in mind, Hestia-Core abstracts common infrastructure concerns so developers can focus on business logic rather than boilerplate integration of third-party services. It supports microservices communication patterns, event-driven data flows, and pluggable components that make it adaptable to various workloads — from internal APIs to high-traffic public endpoints. The platform also includes abstractions for database connectivity, configuration management, and service discovery, making it easier to build fault-tolerant and observable systems.
