Everything connected

One backend.
Everything connected.

Your schema is the source of truth. Define your data once. Apito turns it into APIs, permissions, SDKs and the services your application needs.

  • Auto-generated REST & GraphQL APIs
  • Real-time subscriptions
  • Authentication & RBAC
  • File storage
  • Serverless functions (Deno)
  • Type-safe SDKs

AI can propose. You decide.

Review every change
before it ships.

Every generated change becomes a reviewable draft. Inspect the execution plan, approve it, publish it, and retain the complete schema history.

Your database. Your choice.

Your backend shouldn't belong to your database.

Start with SQLite. Scale with PostgreSQL. Connect MongoDB, MySQL or your existing infrastructure without rebuilding your application architecture.

One platform. Your database.

Local first

Build locally.
Ship when you're ready.

Work offline with the CLI. When you're ready, Apito analyzes your local schema, creates a Git-like diff, and safely synchronizes it with your project.
