Gisila

Introduction

Gisila is a set of Dart packages for building HTTP backends, plus a self-hosted platform for running them. You can use each package on its own or combine them into a full stack.

The packages

Section titled “The packages”
Package What it does Use it when
gisila Shelf-based MVC framework: annotated controllers, typed forms, services, permissions, middleware, logging You are building an HTTP API in Dart
gisila_orm Schema-first PostgreSQL ORM with codegen, query builder, migrations and eager loading Your data lives in Postgres and you want typed queries
gisila_queue Distributed task queue with Redis, RabbitMQ or in-memory brokers Work should happen outside the request: email, reports, webhooks, retries
gisila_redis Small Redis client used by the queue You need the Redis connection the queue uses
gisila_doc The OpenAPI-aware variant of gisila: specs plus route registration from one controller You want OpenAPI 3.1, Swagger UI or generated clients
gisila_studio Auto-generated admin UI over your ORM tables Staff need to browse and edit data without a custom frontend
gisila-panel Self-hosted PaaS for compiled backends You want Heroku-style deploys on your own VPS
