Spark FHIR

Spark is an open-source FHIR server developed in C#, initially built by Firely. Further development and maintenance is now done by Incendi.

Spark implements a major part of the FHIR specification and has been used and tested during several HL7 WGM Connectathons.

Get Started

There are two ways to get started with Spark. Either by using the NuGet packages and following the Quickstart Tutorial, or by using the Docker Images.

NuGet Packages

Read the on how to set up your own FHIR Server using the NuGet Packages. There is also an example project that accompanies the Quickstart Tutorial which you can find here: https://github.com/incendilabs/spark-example

Docker Images

Set up the Spark FHIR server by using the Docker Images. Make sure you have installed Docker. On Linux you will need to install Docker Compose as well. After installing Docker you could run Spark server by running one of the following commands, found below, for your preferred FHIR Version. Remember to replace the single quotes with double quotes on Windows. The Spark FHIR Server will be available after startup at http://localhost:5555.

R4

curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FirelyTeam/spark/r4/master/.docker/docker-compose.example.yml' > docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up

STU3

curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FirelyTeam/spark/stu3/master/.docker/docker-compose.example.yml' > docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up`

DSTU2

curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FirelyTeam/spark/master/.docker/docker-compose.example.yml' > docker-compose.yml 
docker-compose up

Git branching strategy

Our strategy for git branching:

Branch from the r4/master branch which contains the R4 FHIR version, unless the feature or bug fix is considered for a specific version of FHIR then branch from the relevant branch which at this point is stu3/master.

See GitHub flow for more information.
