Examples ​

The framework ships complete, runnable apps in its examples/ directory on GitHub. They are the fastest way to see zero wired up for real — copy one as your starting point.

zero-basic ​

A full HTTP microservice that exercises the framework's hot paths: REST handlers, Postgres/SQLite, Redis caching, GraphQL, structured logging, metrics and health endpoints. It also includes a multi-stage Dockerfile.multi-stage and is the reference app for the Kubernetes deployment guide.

bash
git clone https://github.com/im-ng/zero
cd zero/examples/zero-basic
zig build run            # boots the demo service on :8080

# or containerize it
podman build -f examples/zero-basic/Dockerfile.multi-stage -t zero-basic .

zero-cli ​

A command-line application built on App.newCmd / app.runCmd — sub-commands, flag parsing via ctx.Param, and app.onStartup hooks for migrations. See CLI Apps for the API.

bash
cd zero/examples/zero-cli
zig build run -- help

zero-bench ​

The benchmark harness lives at src/bench/main.zig (built with zig build bench). It boots a real zero.App and drives it with a concurrency ramp to measure throughput, latency and memory. Details and the regression gate are in Benchmark.

Other examples ​

The examples/ tree also contains per-feature demos referenced throughout the docs — zero-kafka-publisher / zero-kafka-subscriber, zero-nats-publisher / zero-nats-subscriber, zero-mq-publisher / zero-mq-subscriber, and more. Each maps to a page under Built-in solutions.
