Effect-TS / effect

# Effect
Effect is a library for building robust, maintainable, type-safe, and production grade applications in TypeScript. It helps you handle the hard problems at scale: typed errors, dependency injection, structured concurrency, scheduling, tracing, and unified schema validation.
> **Effect 4.x is a long-term support (LTS) release.** If you are upgrading from Effect 3.x, follow the migration guide.
## Installation
 [code] 
## Requirements
- **TypeScript 5.9 or newer.** TypeScript 7 is recommended for the best performance and compatibility with Effect's TypeScript tooling.
- **Node.js 18 or newer** is the general minimum for running Effect on Node.js. Some integration packages require newer runtimes; for example, `@effect/sql-sqlite-node` requires Node.js 22.16 or newer.
- **Strict type-checking:** the `strict` flag must be enabled in your `tsconfig.json`.

## Let's talk
Whether your team is considering Effect, rolling it out, or already running it in production, we'd love to hear from you: what you're building, what works, and what you need from Effect next.
- **Talk to the maintainers.** Introduce your team on Discord or email contact@effectful.co. We're happy to connect privately on Slack or Discord for feedback and help with adoption.
- **Production support.** We're exploring how to better support teams running Effect in production. If your organization has specific support needs, let's discuss them.
- **Adoption help.** Our adoption partners offer implementation, consulting, team extension, training, and commercial support.
Feedback from teams using and evaluating Effect directly shapes what we stabilize and build next.
## Long-term support
Teams depend on Effect for systems they expect to run for years. Effect 4.x is a long-term support (LTS) release with the following guarantees:
- At least three years of support, including bug and security fixes.
- Bug fixes for one year after the next major version is released.
- Security fixes for two years after the next major version is released.
Stable APIs reserve breaking changes for major releases. APIs marked unstable may change in minor releases, and experimental APIs may change in patch releases.
## Effect v3
The Effect v3 source code is available on the `v3` branch, which is also where issues and pull requests meant for Effect v3 should be targeted. To upgrade, see the migration guide.
