Primitives for building end-to-end applications in TypeScript
Mission
We want to get to a world where software developers can focus on what a program should accomplish, rather than how.
How
Building the right building blocks
Programming distributed systems in the cloud should feel as effortless as programming a local-only app.
Programming, in general, should feel more approachable and user-friendly, regardless of the system's complexity.
We started building Effect years ago with a clear plan
Having a highly performant & flexible execution engine for every TypeScript program that could resolve all the common general-purpose problems found in app development:
- error management
- safe resource management
- concurrency
- software testability
- dependency injection
- and many more...

Effect is only the “Layer 0" of what we have in mind
While Effect is a composable and complete composable solution to general-purpose programming, other problems arise in distributed systems, just as they do in browsers.
These include transparent invocation of remote procedures, data serialization, and durable execution or – as they say – transactions for distributed systems.
Going further – assuming we have every bit of app development figured out – there is still a big chunk left
Managing the infrastructure needed to deploy everything in a continuously evolving world where an average website needs at least two or three different cloud providers with different configurations in order to work.
