The difference between a demo and a product is a database
You've shipped the fast demo, then watched it fall apart when real users and real data arrived. Orbit gives every app its own Postgres database, real auth, and server logic, so it holds up the day people actually use it.
The wall
Three hours to build. Three weeks to fix.
The demo was fast. Then real users showed up, and the messages started: “Why can I see everyone else's expenses?” “I got logged in as someone else.” The builder had faked the backend, a toy database you can't migrate away from and an auth system it rebuilt for every feature. Fast to build isn't the hard part. Surviving day one is.
How it works
A real backend, from the first field.
Orbit stands up the whole stack: your own Postgres database, auth and sessions, server-side logic, and an API. Not a service you rent behind the scenes and can't reach. Your app's own backend.
Your own Postgres database, per app
Every app gets its own isolated Postgres database, with row-level security so one user can never read another's data. Not shared storage, not a browser cache. A database that's yours, that grows with the app.
Auth and sessions, wired once
Sign-in, sessions, and per-user access are part of the app from the start, wired once and reused everywhere. No auth system that quietly gets rebuilt each time you add a screen.
Honest edge: end-users sign in through the app; the REST API is scoped to that session, not public API keys.
Server logic and an API, in the same app
Workflows run your business logic server-side on a durable queue, and the datamodel exposes a REST API with OpenAPI. Data, logic, and interface are one app, not four tools you're duct-taping together.
Where it fits
One app, the whole stack.
The database, the screens, the logic, and the API are the same app, not integrations you maintain. Draw the shape once and the whole stack reads from it.
Build on a backend that survives day one
Describe your app and watch Orbit stand up a real database, auth, and logic, ready for real users.
