1. Overview & Architecture
Tiger Framework is an open-source full-stack meta-framework built on top of the Tiger CLI toolchain. It unifies Python (FastAPI) or Node.js (Express) backends with Next.js v16.3.5 App Router, hardware-accelerated 3D Glassmorphism UI components, automatic database migrations (PostgreSQL/MySQL), and zero-configuration production deployment into a single cohesive developer ecosystem.
High-throughput ASGI server with automated OpenAPI docs and Pydantic validation.
Server Components, React 19, responsive 3D Glassmorphism, and instant HMR.
Hardened production reverse proxies with automated certificates and multi-stage builds.
2. Installation & Quickstart
Tiger CLI can be installed through NPM or Python PyPI, or run instantly without installation using NPX:
Option A: Global Install via NPM
npm install -g tiger-cli
Option B: Global Install via Python (pip)
pip install tiger-cli
Option C: Instant Zero-Install via NPX
npx tiger-cli create-app my-saas
3. Scaffolding Engine (`tiger create-app`)
Run tiger create-app [name] to generate a production-ready application in under 2 seconds:
tiger create-app my-saas --backend "Python (FastAPI)" --database PostgreSQL
This writes the complete project structure with isolated backend, frontend, Docker configuration, and cryptographic watermarks:
my-saas/ ├── backend/ │ ├── app/ │ │ ├── api/routes.py # REST API endpoints │ │ ├── core/config.py # Pydantic settings & DB pooling │ │ └── main.py # FastAPI entrypoint │ └── requirements.txt ├── frontend/ │ ├── src/app/ # Next.js 16.3.5 App Router │ ├── src/components/ui/ # 3D Glassmorphic UI Kit │ └── package.json # React 19 + Tailwind CSS ├── docker-compose.yml # PostgreSQL 16 + Nginx SSL proxy ├── tiger.lock # Cryptographic SHA-256 signature └── .env.example # Pre-configured environment variables
4. Backend Architecture (FastAPI Async)
The backend is built around an async lifespan router pattern with SQLAlchemy 2.0 connection pooling:
from fastapi import FastAPI
from app.api.routes import router as api_router
from app.core.config import settings
app = FastAPI(
title=settings.PROJECT_NAME,
version="0.1.0",
docs_url="/api/docs"
)
app.include_router(api_router, prefix="/api/v1")5. Frontend (Next.js 16.3.5 App Router)
The frontend uses the latest Next.js v16.3.5 with React 19, hardware-accelerated Tailwind styling, and Turbopack support.
cd my-saas/frontend npm run dev
6. 3D Glassmorphic UI Kit (`tiger make:ui`)
Generate hardware-accelerated 3D components directly into your frontend without third-party heavy dependencies:
# Inject components into frontend/src/components/ui tiger make:ui GlassCard tiger make:ui GlassNavbar tiger make:ui GlassButton tiger make:ui GlassModal tiger make:ui GlassStats
7. Autonomous Git Pipeline (`tiger push`)
Say goodbye to repetitive manual commands (git add, git commit, git push). With tiger push, repository initialization, stage check, commit creation, and remote branch pushing are automated:
# One command stages all changes, creates a commit and pushes to origin/main tiger push "feat: add user authentication API"
8. Database & Alembic Migrations
Configure databases and execute automated schema revisions:
# Initialize database config tiger db init --engine postgresql # Generate and apply schema migrations tiger db migrate "create_users_table"
9. Integrated AI Synthesizer (`tiger ai`)
Synthesize endpoint code from plain English and diagnose runtime error traces directly in your terminal:
# Generate API route from natural language tiger ai route "Create a Stripe webhook listener for checkout session completion" # Diagnose terminal error stack trace tiger ai debug
10. Production Docker & Nginx SSL
Generate hardened Dockerfiles and Nginx SSL reverse proxies:
# Generate Docker orchestration tiger deploy docker # Generate production Nginx reverse proxy with HTTPS tiger deploy nginx --domain api.yourdomain.com
11. Integrity Watermark (`tiger.lock`) & x010.tech Provenance
Every generated project includes a cryptographic tiger.lock file. This file contains SHA-256 integrity signatures, the embedded official 3D Tiger logo, and authentic provenance by parent organization x010.tech and IAR-010 under the MIT License.
