What it does

Clone it, own it, ship faster. 45+ integrated packages: auth (Auth.js v5), RBAC, multi-tenancy with RLS, job queues, blog/CMS, realtime WebSockets, per-tenant branding, shadcn/ui, and way more. Built around OttaORM - a fat model system where business logic lives in models, not controllers. Auto-migrations, CRUD APIs, and TanStack Query hooks are all generated from a single model definition. Your code, your stack, your infra.

Build apps, platforms, SaaS, and internal tools on Cloudflare Workers in hours. Edge-native auth, OttaORM, RBAC, RLS, realtime, queues, blog/CMS - one MIT monorepo. Fork it. Ship it.

One coherent stack: Auth, OttaORM, Queues, Cron, Realtime, Blog/CMS, RBAC, RLS & UI components wired together for multi-tenant SaaS apps on Cloudflare Workers. An idea on Friday, a product on Monday: ottabase+AI makes it a ✨magical reality. Open-source monorepo on Cloudflare Workers - not a hosted backend. Fat models, RBAC, RLS, queues, realtime, and blog/CMS when you enable them. ORM with fat models, dependency-free auth (signed sessions, OAuth2, magic links), scope-aware RBAC, typed Cloudflare bindings, zero-dependency Workers router, job queues and cron, WebSocket realtime (Durable Objects), audit logging, Analytics Engine, structured logging. Design token engine with 8 presets, CSS…from ottabase.com

  • Nous – Open-Source Agent Framework with Autonomous, SWE Agents, WebUI2024 · github.com · ▲155

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

  • Modelence – Supabase for MongoDB2025 · github.com · ▲38

    Hi all, Aram and Eduard here - authors of Modelence (https://github.com/modelence/modelence), an all-in-one backend platform for teams that love TypeScript + MongoDB. Think Supabase, but for MongoDB: auth, cron jobs, email, monitoring, without glue code before you can ship. As Karpathy (and many of us) noted, getting from prototype to production is mostly painful integration work. The pieces exist, but stitching them together reliably is the hard part: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1905051558783418370. YC AI Startup School talk about this -…

  • Stack, an open-source Clerk/Firebase Auth alternative2024 · stack-auth.com · ▲144

    Hey HN! Happy to finally launch Stack. We made it because we like to put apps into production quickly, and authentication & user management was taking up way too much time. We have components like and that automatically adapt to whatever theme & design system you're using. Check the blog post to see the example with Radix UI and Joy UI. Also, there's an admin dashboard for monitoring and editing accounts. Stack is 100% AGPL/MIT-licensed, so you can self-host it. Cheers!

  • Stacktape – Full power of AWS with Heroku-like experience2022 · stacktape.com · ▲115

    Hello, Stacktape CEO here. As a full-stack developer, I was looking for an easy way to deploy and host my applications for years. I could go with Kubernetes and Terraform. But the complexity of running this in production can be overwhelming even for a team of dedicated DevOps specialists. Or I could go with Heroku. But I’m not willing to pay 5-10 times more for my infrastructure just because my app was easier to deploy. I could also choose Serverless framework. But If my use case requires more than Lambda functions, I need to read through 100s of pages of AWS documentation figuring out how…

  • Just Fucking Use Cloudflare – A satirical guide to the CF stackDec 2025 · justfuckingusecloudflare.com · ▲33

    Inspired by the recent justfuckingusetailwind.com, I built a similar "love letter" to the Cloudflare ecosystem. I find myself reaching for Workers, R2, D1, and KV for almost every project lately, so I wanted to capture that sentiment in a single, slightly over-the-top page. It’s a simple side project, but the stack is: - Vite + TypeScript - Biome + Ultracite - Deployed (obviously) on Cloudflare First draft in Claude, the copy was drafted with Grok to get that specific tone, then I used Google's AI Studio to accelerate the build with touch up's in Cursor.
