ARC API¶
ARC API (aka Sourceloop), is a collection of pre-built microservices designed to accelerate the development timeline for enterprise projects. These services address common challenges encountered by large enterprises during the development of cloud-native platforms for digital transformation initiatives or new product creation. Implemented as LoopBack Extensions, ARC API services can be seamlessly integrated into existing LoopBack or NestJS applications or generated as standalone services using the LoopBack Command-line interface.
Watch our introduction video to know more about ARC API.
Getting Started¶
The easiest way to get started with ARC API is to use its command line interface which can be installed using npm install -g @sourceloop/cli. The cli provides quick ways to scaffold a monorepo project, add microservices provided by sourceloop to your projects and many other useful stuff.
