One-Command Deploy

From code to production
in one command

grit deploy builds your app, uploads via SSH, configures systemd, and sets up Caddy with auto-TLS.

  • 01Cross-compiles Go binary for Linux (CGO_ENABLED=0)
  • 02Builds frontend if present (pnpm build)
  • 03Uploads binary via SCP
  • 04Creates systemd service with auto-restart
  • 05Configures Caddy reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt TLS

What Developers Say

Loved by builders

Grit replaced our entire setup — Django backend, React frontend, separate admin panel. One CLI command and we had everything running in minutes.

Alex Chen
Senior Engineer — Startup Founder

The code generator alone saves us 2-3 hours per feature. Generate a resource, get Go model + service + handler + admin page + React hooks. Incredible DX.

Sarah Johnson
Full-Stack Developer — Agency Lead

Coming from Laravel, the single-app architecture felt instantly familiar. But with Go performance and type safety. The deploy command is chef's kiss.

Marcus Rodriguez
Backend Developer — Laravel to Go convert

Muke JohnBaptist
“I built Grit because I was tired of spending weeks setting up the same boilerplate for every project. Auth, admin panels, file uploads, background jobs — they should just work. Now they do. One command, and you have a production-ready app. That's the framework I wanted to use.”

Creator of Grit Framework

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know Go to use Grit?

Basic Go knowledge helps, but Grit generates most of the code for you. The generated code follows clear patterns (handler → service → model) that are easy to extend. If you know any backend language, you'll pick it up fast.

Can I use Grit with an existing project?

Grit is designed for greenfield projects. It scaffolds the full project structure. However, you can use grit generate resource in existing Grit projects to add new features incrementally.

Is Grit production-ready?

Yes. Every scaffolded project includes JWT auth, RBAC, rate limiting (Sentinel), observability (Pulse), error handling, CORS, gzip compression, connection pooling, and graceful shutdown. It's designed for production from day one.

What's the difference between Single and Triple architecture?

Single embeds the React SPA into the Go binary via go:embed — one file to deploy. Triple is a Turborepo monorepo with separate web app, admin panel, and API — ideal for teams and complex products.

Can I switch from Next.js to TanStack Router later?

The backend (Go API) is identical regardless of frontend choice. You'd need to rebuild the frontend pages, but all hooks, types, and API patterns are the same. The admin panel components are also framework-agnostic React.

How does grit deploy work? Is it like Vercel?

grit deploy is for self-hosted deployments. It SSHs to your server, uploads the binary, configures systemd, and sets up Caddy with auto-TLS. For Vercel/Railway, just push to git — the Dockerfile is included.

Is Grit open source?

Yes, Grit is fully open source under the MIT license. The CLI, all plugins, and the documentation are on GitHub.
