Build Beyond Limits with BEAM

Nova makes it simple to build a fault-tolerant and distributed web application. It takes ideas from different web frameworks and implements them with the functionality and stability that Erlang and BEAM offer.

Get Started

## Erlang Quick‑Start
$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/novaframework/rebar3_nova/master/install.sh)"
$ rebar3 new nova my_app
$ cd my_app
$ rebar3 shell

## Elixir Quick-Start
 $ mix archive.install hex nova_new
 $ mix nova.new my_app
 $ cd my_app
 $ mix deps.get
 $ iex -S mix

## LFE Quick‑Start
$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/novaframework/rebar3_nova/master/install.sh)"
$ rebar3 new nova_lfe my_app
$ cd my_app
$ rebar3 lfe repl

Effortless Modularity

Build reusable applications: Easily package and integrate functionality into other Nova-based projects.
Scalable architecture: Nova promotes well-structured, distributed systems from the start.
Just enough abstraction: Nova helps you focus on your business logic, not the boilerplate.
