Show HN: We built the only AI-powered production-ready code generator (amplication.com)

Jovu is an open-source AI-powered backend code generation assistant designed to build production-ready services for all the infrastructure, boilerplate, and scaffolding.

Imagine telling AI, "Create node.js services to build a marketplace with graphql, postgres, Redis caching, and Kafka. Include data models to manage customers, events, transactions, and feedback" - and get fully functional enterprise-grade backend code that you can take to production.

By integrating with Amplication's platform, Jovu ensures the code you generate meets the highest reliability standards and offers expert design advice.

The code we generate is shipped directly to your Git repos, and you can start writing business logic on day 1. You have full ownership of the code and can freely customize it. You can ask Jovu to make more changes whenever needed without worrying that your custom code will ever be overwritten.

Key Benefits:

Go from concept to production-ready backend code in minutes. Jovu creates complete backend services, including data models, APIs, and infrastructure code that are consistent and predictable. Integrates with various technologies for enhanced security, complete deployment, state-of-the-art service communication, caching, and more, with a plugin ecosystem. Jovu cooperates with existing AI tools, like GitHub Copilot, to assist in generating business logic code.

Feedback is welcome :-)



I'm part of the team that released Jovu and I must say: it's great!

AI has a lot of potential but too often is misused and mis-sold; for us, AI is the companion for your tasks, and when generating new APIs, it helps you save time by interacting with you in the most natural way possible, through conversation.

Try it out, it will help you generate new services, understand unclear areas of the product, answer any question you might have.


Can it consider an existing code base? rather be inspired by it or even integrate with it?


Thanks a lot! I am part of the Amplication team; I'll try to answer your question. We do not currently READ any existing codebase. We can be used for scenarios where you want to modernize a legacy codebase into modern service architecture. One quick way to do so is with a DB-first approach, using our schema import feature (introspect an existing DB and quickly build new services with the same data models and APIs for them). You can push new code into existing codebases, but we will not "know" about the existing code. If you want to create new services that will integrate with your existing services, that is something Jovu can support if you have a spec (like Open API spec) for your existing services.


Good luck!

Any plan on adding .NET support in the near future?

How does it work with existing code-bases?


Thanks a lot! I am part of the Amplication team; I'll try to answer your questions: The first question is spot-on. We are already in the beta phase for .NET code generation, and it will be publicly available soon. You can contact us via the website for a personal demo of the .NET code generation. For existing code bases - we do not currently READ any existing codebase. We can be used for scenarios where you want to modernize a legacy codebase into modern service architecture. One quick way to do so is with a DB-first approach, using our schema import feature (introspect an existing DB and quickly build new services with the same data models and APIs for them)


Really interesting! Can't wait to try it out.


nevermind meant to use ai sidebar


ok


does not work

just fails


Thanks for the feedback. Can you please share what did not work?


code gen sidebar


I am not sure what you mean exactly and unsure if you are using Jovu by Amplication or something else. We're happy to schedule a private demo for you if you'd like to explore the amazing capabilities of Jovu (you can book a demo on our website).


Sorry, but I don't fully understand the issue. In any case, I'll leave here a link to a demonstration video that might help: https://us04web.zoom.us/clips/share/SfDlDw06Lm5P-lGtXEN1FopR...
