Glad you're here! This is about **bknd**, a feature-rich backend that is so lightweight it could
run on your toaster (probably).
The documentation is currently a work in progress and not complete. Updates will be made soon.
## Quickstart
Enter the following command to spin up an instance:
```bash npm
npx bknd run
```
```bash bun
bunx bknd run
```
To learn more about the CLI, check out the [Using the CLI](/cli) guide.
## Start with a Framework/Runtime
Start by using the integration guide for these popular frameworks/runtimes. There will be more
in the future, so stay tuned!
