Getting Started with Typr
Typr is a type-safe code generator for JVM languages. It reads your database schemas, OpenAPI specifications, and Avro/Kafka events, then generates fully-typed code that the compiler can verify end-to-end.
Typr is currently in closed beta. We're working with a small set of teams to harden the CLI, the DSL, and the unified-types story before opening signups more broadly. Public release is scheduled for early 2026.
Want a beta seat? Email oyvind@typr.dev — we're prioritising teams running multiple boundaries (database + API, or database + Kafka) where the unified-types work earns its keep fastest.
What's available right now
You can read and link to all the documentation:
- Databases — how Typr generates code from your schema
- REST APIs — server + client generation from OpenAPI
- Events (Avro/Kafka) — typed records from Avro schemas
- Unified Types — one domain type across every boundary
- Comparison — how Typr compares to alternatives
What's not available right now
Installation instructions and a public CLI download are gated behind the closed beta. Once the beta opens up, this page will publish step-by-step setup for Coursier, Homebrew, SDKMAN, JBang, and Scoop, plus a typr init-flavoured walkthrough.
