alchemy
Alchemy is a TypeScript infrastructure-as-code tool built on Effect. Its homepage describes it as a path from zero to production, with support for fast feedback loops, ephemeral test stacks, type-checked IAM policies, and built-in observability.
The product is documented for both humans and coding agents. The page includes a getting-started flow that starts with scaffolding a fresh project, installing dependencies, creating an alchemy.run.ts Stack with a single Cloudflare R2 Bucket, and running alchemy deploy to sign in to Cloudflare and provision the bucket. It also says to confirm the bucket is live before moving on. For agents, the instructions direct them to read the getting-started guide, follow it exactly, and stop after the bucket is provisioned so the next step can be chosen from the user’s request. The documentation also names tutorials for a first stack, adding a Worker, testing, local development with alchemy dev, and CI/CD with per-PR previews from GitHub Actions.
Alchemy is delivered through its docs at v2.alchemy.run and is labeled beta, with v2.0.0-beta.61 shown on the page. The page also links to Docs, Blog, GitHub, and Discord.
