Installation

Forze's core is small — everything backend-specific ships as an opt-in extra you add when you reach for it, so you install only what your service uses. Start with the core (it runs fully in-memory, no Docker), then add integrations as you grow.

Requirements¶

Forze requires:

• Python 3.13 or newer
• uv or another PEP 517-compatible package manager

Install core¶

Install the framework core:

uv add forze

pip install forze

Verify the installation:

uv run python -c "from forze._version import __version__; print(__version__)"

Install with integrations¶

Most functionality is provided through optional integrations packed as sibling packages alongside the core. To install required dependencies, use the [extras] syntax.

uv add 'forze[postgres]'

uv add 'forze[redis]'

uv add 'forze[fastapi]'

uv add 'forze[fastapi,postgres,redis]'
