Orbital Concepts
Orbital
Build real‑time applications with passwordless auth and event‑driven services
Orbital is a modular application-building platform where self-contained services (aka Ørbs) use a shared, stream-based backbone. This stream-architecture enables rapid development and adaptation without rigid dependencies, regardless of application purpose.
All Ørbs are based on top of a Market core, which allows for fine-grained localization of anything from configuration to translated content, and everything is controlled using a automatically generated (but customizable) Back Office UI.
