SDuX Vault — a zero-dependency, pipeline-based state engine for Node.js (looking for first adopters)

[brianpilati]

I got tired of boiler plate, ceremony, race conditions and middleware spaghetti, so I built something different.

SDuX Vault is a pipeline-based state management engine. Pure TypeScript, zero dependencies. Every state change flows through a deterministic pipeline (resolve, merge, filter, reduce, persist, etc.) in guaranteed order. That gives you atomic updates, no race conditions, built-in tab sync, encryption, and circuit breaker controllers.

Watch: 5-minute overview

It runs anywhere TypeScript runs. On Node.js it's a natural fit for server-side state management, CLI tools, background workers, or any service that needs deterministic state handling without pulling in a framework-specific library.

Works with Node.js through @sdux-vault/core — the same universal API across all runtimes and frameworks. No adapters, no wrappers.

npm install @sdux-vault/core

What it gives you

• Deterministic pipeline — stages execute in guaranteed order every time
• Atomic state commitment — no partial or torn updates
• Built-in tab sync, encryption, and circuit breaker controllers
• Zero dependencies — pure TypeScript, runs on any Node.js version that supports TS
• One universal API — the same @sdux-vault/core everywhere

If you're curious, try it in a side project and let me know what you think. I'd love honest feedback — what works, what's confusing, what feels wrong. Reply in this thread or open an issue on GitHub.

If you're interested in going deeper, I'm also looking for 2-3 first adopters who'd be willing to help shape the project:

• Curating Node.js-specific examples and patterns
• Helping validate that the universal @sdux-vault/core API feels natural in Node.js projects
• Testing the SDuX Vault DevTools Chrome extension and giving feedback on the pipeline inspector
• Eventually helping moderate a community support channel

I'm a solo developer on this — it's not a funded project. Just a senior engineer who built the tool I wished existed. Reply in this thread or reach out at sduxvault@gmail.com.

One question to kick things off: does the universal @sdux-vault/core API feel natural in a Node.js context, or would you expect runtime-specific adapters? Curious where your instincts land.
