Introduction

Boson is a modular backend platform written in Rust. It combines a production server, background worker, operational Admin API, dashboard, CLI, and versioned documentation without coupling application logic to cloud providers.

A backend platform, not another framework

Boson provides stable extension contracts so product capabilities can compose cleanly: identity, organizations, file storage, jobs, events, and operational visibility ship as first-class platform pieces.

Stable principles

• The Dashboard is a client of the Admin API; the CLI owns local lifecycle.
• Capabilities own their data and communicate through contracts.
• Provider SDKs stay behind ports.
• Operational visibility is part of the platform.

Run locally
