const HelloSchema = z.object({ name: z.string() });

  }
}

Next steps

cd my-app
bun run build          # emit sky-manifest.json

# Download the gateway binary from GitHub Releases and run it:
./sky-gateway --config sky.toml

# Or use Docker:
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/sky-framework/sky:latest

Test your service:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/hello \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "World"}'
# → {"message":"Hello, World!"}

Local development (monorepo)

If you are working inside the Sky monorepo itself, run the scaffolder directly:

bun run src/index.ts my-app
