Bash-end – clean back end written in bash
A back-end written solely in Bash. Easy to use. Fast. Efficient. Tie it to a webserver with fastcgi and you
Bash-end – clean back end written in bash launched on September 26, 2019 with 5 votes, #1,275 of 3,296 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 7 years on.
What it does
Easy to use. Fast. Efficient. Tie it to a webserver with fastcgi and you're good to go. It has routing, models, controllers, and a mysql db connector built in. You can get started here. There's no install process for Bash-end; it's three scripts in a directory. There's one dependency, which has no dependencies on its own, so the entire setup is almost too easy. Also there's a Dockerfile, so you can get your server up and running with two simple commands. Saves you the hassle of configuring your webserver with fastcgi. Use it. Extend it. I'd be honored if you'd fork my back-end. Send pull requests and lets get this party started. Our very efficient routing makes creating CRUD API's a breeze.…from bash-end.com
