# What is frigate built with?

frigate is a TypeScript repo built with FastAPI, AIOHTTP, starlette, uvicorn, Vite, and 2 more. It stores its data in pyzmq and idb-keyval, reaches it with peewee, signs people in with joserfc, py-vapid, and cryptography, uses AI through cuda-python, nvidia-cudnn-cu12, ONNX, onnxruntime-gpu, opencv-contrib-python, and 10 more, connects to Google, makes its content with markupsafe, js-yaml, react-markdown, and remark-gfm, validates its data with Pydantic, pathvalidate, rjsf, Zod, and @hookform/resolvers, is tested with @playwright/test, and deploys with psutil and prometheus-client. It has 304,915 written lines, with 247 test files.
