# CrescoDB

> A local-first backend lifecycle platform.

A local-first backend lifecycle platform. Build your database, API and auth from one schema, verify the access rules before anything ships, deploy to a $5 server you own, monitor every route from inside the app, operate it with backups we restore to prove they work, and own your code and data...

## Detailed info

## What is CrescoDB?

CrescoDB is a backend development and deployment platform that generates databases, REST APIs, authentication with roles, and storage from schemas for deployment to self-owned servers.

## What CrescoDB does

The software scaffolds SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL backends with REST APIs and realtime channels, runs access audits before deploys, installs reverse proxies and HTTPS certificates on servers, performs nightly backups verified through scratch database restores, and monitors routes for errors.

## Who CrescoDB is for

Developers and teams who want to build backends in the browser or terminal and deploy to their own virtual servers.

## How CrescoDB works

Users define table schemas in the browser or terminal, verify data access rules with automated audits, deploy to an Ubuntu or Debian server using Docker and HTTPS, and receive route-specific alerts if errors occur.

## Key features

- Builds databases, REST APIs, sign-in with roles, and file storage from a single schema.
- Supports SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL database engines behind identical schemas.
- Runs automated access audits to block deploys that would expose sensitive personal data.
- Deploys to self-rented servers with automated Docker setup, reverse proxying, and HTTPS certificates.
- Verifies nightly backups by restoring snapshots into scratch databases.
- Sends alerts by email, Slack, or Telegram naming the exact route that broke.
- Provides local development via CLI requiring Node 20 or newer alongside an MCP server.
