Advanced
Runtime internals, providers, transports, and extension points.
Use Advanced docs when you need to understand or extend how PAI works below the app API.
Runtime Internals
- Contract Types: type-only imports, client-safe packages, runtime manifests, and generated bindings.
- Provider Implementations: conformance expectations for custom storage, realtime, and file providers.
- How It Works: runtime pipeline, lifecycle phases, state projections, and queueing.
Infrastructure
- Providers: storage, realtime, and files.
- Transports: transport architecture, HTTP/SSE, custom transports, and watch delivery.
Normal applications can build with Getting Started, Agent, Client, React, and Recipes before reading these pages.
