The journey

Step by step

01
Install CLI
Run the one-line installer. macOS, Linux, Windows via WSL.
$ curl -fsSL https://hives.dev/install | sh
02
Init project
Scaffold a new project. Pick language, choose template, configure hive.toml.
$ hive init my-service --lang rust
03
Write handler
Implement the exported function. It receives a request, returns a response.
$ fn handle(req: Request) -> Response
04
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
