Hello World

hello-world

When you first load the Membrane IDE, you’ll see a pre-installed hello-world program with its index file open. We encourage you to start clicking around and playing with the code!

That program has a run action that logs a message and sends you an email. It also exports an endpoint function that serves a website, storing hits in Membrane state on each visit.

Creating new programs

Creating a new Membrane program is simple:

1. Click NEW PROGRAM
2. Click Blank program
3. Name your program

That’s it! The program is immediately deployed whenever you save the file. You can also start with one of our templates for a cronjob, API, webhook handler, emailer, or website.

Tip

We also have a getting-started tutorial (and video walk-through) if you’d prefer a hands-on way to learn core features and concepts.

The next page is where things get interesting. You’ll learn how our durable runtime helps you build long-lived programs without the traditional complexities.
