  • bee

    Bee is a Swarm client implemented in Go. It’s the basic building block for the Swarm network: a private; decentralized; and self-sustaining network for permissionless publishing and access to your (application) data.

    You can download the most recent bee packages here: https://github.com/ethersphere/bee/releases/latest

  • bee-factory

    Builds up a test environment with Bee clients and with a test blockchain.

    Bee Factory offers a complete solution to simulate an entire Swarm Network on your machine. Bee Factory is a CLI tool used to spin up a Docker cluster of Bee nodes as well as a test Blockchain for advanced testing and development.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • fdp-play

    Orchestration CLI for spinning up local development Bee cluster and FDP environment with Docker

    Much like bee-factory , FDP Play is a CLI tool used to spin up a local development FDP environment with Docker. It includes a ganache blockchain for testing, a Docker cluster of bee nodes as well as a FairOS instance.

  • bee-js

    Javascript client library for connecting to Bee decentralised storage

    Now that we’ve explored three risk-free ways to get a bee node running for testing and development, it’s time to start interacting with it and building on the Swarm network. The Bee JS SDK and its documentation is a great place to get started.
