Create applications

Get started by creating a basic Harmony platform by running the following command:

$bit create harmony-platform my-platform

Copied

Get a clear view of all the applications in your workspace:

$bit app list

Copied

Once your apps are set up, launch them directly from your workspace:

$bit run my-platform

Copied

Head to the Harmony documentation to start adding features to your platform. For a complete platform example, head to the Composable platform quick start and follow the steps.

You can use our official application types to support large range of tech stacks and needs:

React (SSR/Vite)

ESBuild

ExpressJS

NextJS

Angular (Vite)

Vue

Storybook

Cloudflare Workers

AWS Lambda

For a deeper dive into creating applications with Bit, refer to our comprehensive Create Apps reference.

If you need to build a more sophisticated runtime architecture that combines frontend and backend elements or embraces a service-oriented approach, use Bit Platforms to compose multiple applications into a single runtime.

Create a platform:

$bit create platform acme-platform

Copied

Launch the platform:

$bit run acme-platform

Copied

Why should I use platforms:

• Effortless orchestrate. Manage the execution of multiple Bit apps within a unified environment.
• Connect Seamlessly. Easily wire up URLs and ports between your running apps.

Explore Bit Platforms in the extended documentation.

• Composable platforms
• Customize application build pipelines
• Deploy your apps
