AdonisJS is a batteries-included TypeScript framework that ships with everything you need: authentication, ORM, file uploads, email, and validation. All integrated and working from day one.
Today. I sat down with Harminder Virk, creator of AdonisJS, to discuss the upcoming version 7 and how Galaxy provides first-class support for Adonis applications.
Watch the full conversation with Virk:
The AdonisJS Philosophy
Nearly 10 years ago, there was a problem: developers had to make too many decisions choosing tools, dealing with configuration issues, and assembling libraries before building anything.
Virk created AdonisJS to solve that problem. The framework provides official packages with excellent documentation, so developers can focus on building instead of configuring.
AdonisJS gives you a complete toolkit without relying on third-party services for basic features like authentication, rate limiting, or feature flags.
What’s Coming in AdonisJS 7
The main theme of version 7 is end-to-end type safety through Tuyau, a tool that scans your entire backend application and generates a fully typed client for your frontend.
Define your routes and controllers once. Your frontend automatically knows what endpoints exist, what data they accept, and what responses they return. Change something in the backend and the types update everywhere: frontend code, tests, API calls.
Additional improvements include OpenTelemetry integration, code generation around the framework, and performance enhancements.
AI Integration and Adonis Plus
AdonisJS is building deep AI integration through Claude Code skills, MCP servers, and specialized sub-agents for different application types. The opinionated structure makes it easy for AI to understand and generate Adonis code.
Virk built an entire billing system with checkout flow and fulfillment in a single evening using AI with Adonis because the framework provides clear guardrails.
Galaxy Support for AdonisJS
Galaxy provides first-class support for deploying AdonisJS applications. Virk has been using it to deploy and run applications with a smooth experience so far.
Galaxy fills a gap that many developers have asked for: a platform-as-a-service option to get up and running with Adonis applications as quickly as possible.
Galaxy already supports AdonisJS today. Support for version 7 is coming soon.
