The journey

Step by step

Install CLI

Run the one-line installer. macOS, Linux, Windows via WSL.

$ curl -fsSL https://hives.dev/install | sh

Init project

Scaffold a new project. Pick language, choose template, configure hive.toml.

$ hive init my-service --lang rust

Write handler

Implement the exported function. It receives a request, returns a response.

$ fn handle(req: Request) -> Response

Deploy

Your code compiles to WASM, pushes to the nearest region, and goes live in seconds.

$ hive deploy --region auto

Under the hood

What you just deployed

Four layers between your code and a live global endpoint. No containers, no orchestrators, no YAML.

Your code

handler.rs / handler.ts / handler.py

Nectar Runtime

WASM sandbox, capability gating, memory limits

Queen Scheduler

Global placement, scale-to-zero, health checks

Live endpoint

https://my-service.hives.dev — worldwide, edge-routed
