Cratefield

The problem

Every new product means weeks of the same plumbing for you: sign-ups, database, email, deploys and secrets.

What it does

Cratefield lets you compile only the modules you need into a backend designed to run in your own cloud account.

How it works

1. Modules plug in at build time, so you ship only what you use
2. One service and one database per product, in an account you own
3. Email sign-up and waitlist modules work today

TodayThe open-source core works today. The managed service is not built yet.

The film

Aims

Autonomous operation

Provisioning, upgrades, backups, incident response and support are the product, so they are the automation target. The aim is a control plane that runs each customer’s backend without a person on call.

Intelligence

Systems intelligence: compile-time composition, migration and drift checks, anomaly detection on worker and database telemetry, and an agent that reads a failing deploy and proposes the fix. Not a chat model on top of a dashboard.

Growth

Developer-led. Growth is backends running in customers’ own cloud accounts and harness crates in use, counted once the control plane exists.
