Central Labs — Software Experiments

Experimental Composition Framework

An early-stage framework for composing backend services from small, typed building blocks — a bet on what backend architecture could look like with less boilerplate.

Not every experiment is meant to become a product, and this one might not. It started from a simple frustration: how much repeated boilerplate goes into wiring up services, even with modern frameworks doing most of the heavy lifting.

What we're exploring

The framework lets a service be described as a composition of small, typed building blocks — a domain layer, a set of services, and a transport layer — wired together with a single compose() call, with strong typing enforced across every boundary.

Where it stands

It's still rough, and used only on a couple of internal tools so far. If it holds up under real use, pieces of it may work their way into future client projects. If it doesn't, we'll have learned something either way — that's the point of Central Labs.
