01 · Postgres + pgvector
Database
An isolated PostgreSQL schema per project: generated tables, relations, indexes, constraints, and vector columns for RAG.
The autonomous backend platform
Your coding agent builds it.Backenly keeps it running.
Real Postgres, APIs, auth, storage, and realtime, driven by your agent over MCP, with every change governed, verified, and reversible.
Free plan · No credit card · Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & any MCP agent
Built for coding agents
Point your agent at a real backend
Connect over MCP, the CLI, or a canonical agent skill. Your agent reads the live schema and drives tables, APIs, auth, storage, and functions through governed changes it cannot break, with a receipt in History for every one.
Platform surface
The primitives are built in, not bolted on
Choosing the platform that runs itself doesn’t mean giving anything up. Everything a production backend needs is already here — wired together, governed, and watched.
02 · Generated runtime
REST APIs
Endpoints for every table with filtering, pagination, search, and aggregates — plus OpenAPI and generated types from the CLI.
03 · JWT + OAuth + magic links
Auth
End-user sign-up, OAuth, magic links, verification emails, and per-project signing secrets, isolated from every other backend.
04 · Local or S3
Storage
Buckets, uploads, signed URLs, metadata, and file APIs — local disk or any S3-compatible provider.
05 · SSE + presence
Realtime
Table change streams, presence, and broadcast channels without running a socket server.
06 · Events + cron
Functions & triggers
Event-driven functions on insert, update, delete, or signup — plus cron schedules, webhooks, and rate limits.
Row-level security by description
Say who can read and write what; Backenly writes and enforces the Postgres policies.
Branches for risky work
Clone the backend into a branch, let your agent experiment, review the diff, merge what works.
Teams and organizations
Invite teammates and clients with roles. Every actor writes to the same change ledger.
Governed change
Every change ships with a receipt
A change is never a raw migration against production. Wherever it comes from — your agent, the dashboard, or autonomy — it moves through one governed path and stays reversible.
The path
one governed route
01
Plan
The request becomes a typed plan — tables, endpoints, policies — checked against your live backend before anything runs.
02
Apply
The plan executes as one governed, atomic change. A rollback snapshot is captured first, every time.
03
Verify
The running backend is checked with real requests — endpoints answering, policies enforced — before the change counts as done.
04
Reverse
Every change lands in History with a receipt: what changed, why, how it verified, and a restore point to undo it.
The guarantees
always on
Destructive operations wait for a human
When an agent asks to drop or overwrite live data, the change parks in the Review Queue. You approve it in the dashboard; the agent’s key can request, never decide.
Isolation is structural
Every project runs in its own PostgreSQL schema. Platform auth and end-user auth never share secrets, tables, or tokens.
One ledger for every actor
You, your agent, and autonomy all write to the same change history — and you can share a read-only change report with a client or teammate by link.
Autonomy
It fixes problems while you sleep
A resident loop watches every project — detect, fix safely, verify, document, and keep it reversible — with no prompt, no session, and nobody at the keyboard.
Runs without a session
Detection alone is table stakes. Backenly closes the loop — detect, fix safely, verify, document — with no prompt, no session, and nobody at the keyboard.
Safe by construction
Only deterministic, reversible fixes are applied on their own, and every fix snapshots first. Anything risky becomes a prepared proposal waiting for one click.
Included on every plan
Company-funded on every plan — autonomy never spends your credits. Pro raises the cadence from daily to every 30 minutes.
No lock-in
A real backend contract, not a mock
Backenly is a standard REST API, a typed SDK, and real PostgreSQL underneath. Your codebase — React, Next.js, mobile, anything — connects the way it would to any production backend, and your data can leave any time.
01
Standard REST + typed SDK
Documented endpoints and a generated TypeScript client for every table. No proprietary runtime living inside your codebase.
02
Your database, directly
Read-only and read-write Postgres connection strings on every plan — psql, TablePlus, any BI tool — plus pg_dump exports that restore on any Postgres.
03
Agent-native over MCP
Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex connect with scoped keys and drive the backend through governed, verified changes — approval-gated when destructive.

Who it is for
For backends that are worth protecting
Backenly is built for the moment your backend starts to matter — when there are users, revenue, or a client on the other side of every change.
Developers running coding agents
Full backend reach for your agent — guardrails on every write.
Founders
Your live backend, run like an ops team.
Agencies & freelancers
A backend that runs itself after handoff.
Common questions
What people ask before trusting us with production
Straight answers to what developers, founders, and agencies actually ask before running a real backend on Backenly.
One command installs the Backenly MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Windsurf, or any MCP host — or paste the setup prompt and your agent installs it itself. The key is scoped and revocable from your project dashboard. There is also a CLI (npx @backenly/cli) for schema, generated types, CI diffs, logs, and read-only SQL, and a canonical agent skill at backenly.com/skill.md.
