WHAT IS SKAPI

Everything Out of the Box

Skapi is a complete backend for web apps, delivered as one JavaScript library. Every project comes with all of this, ready to use:

• Authentication: Add secure login and user management.
• Database: Built-in NoSQL database, ready to use.
• File Storage: Store and serve files of any size.
• CDN: Deliver your content fast, anywhere in the world.
• Realtime Data: Build chat, video calls, live notifications, and more.
• Automated Emails: Send newsletters and automated emails.
• Web Hosting: Host your web app with zero configuration.
• OpenID Login: Add login with third-party identity providers.
• API Secret Keys: Use third-party APIs without exposing your secret keys.
• Webhooks: Receive and process webhooks from third-party services, perfect for payments and other integrations.

WHY SKAPI

Secure, Scalable & Cost-Efficient

100% Serverless Architecture

Skapi's backend infrastructure runs without a single idle server. It scales without limit and is built to stay up.

Cut Backend Costs by Up to 90%

Skapi's cost efficient architecture reduces your backend operating costs to as little as one-tenth of traditional server-based infrastructure.

Data Security

Skapi's client-side data encryption keeps your user's data safe. Records are sealed with AES-256-GCM before they ever leave the browser.

FOR AGENTS

Built for AI Agents

Code with AI

Tell your agent to build with Skapi using Claude Code, Codex CLI, or your favorite AI coding tool.

Use fewer tokens

No backend. No keys. No schema. Less context for your agent. Fewer tokens spent building your app.

Connect your data

Connect your Skapi database to any MCP-compatible AI platform. Give your agent direct, secure access to your data.

HOW IT WORKS

Instant Setup, No Deployments

Step 1: Create a Project

Name your project and choose a region. Hit Create, and Skapi instantly gives you a unique Project ID.

Step 2: Import the Skapi library

Install skapi-js from npm.

npm i skapi-js

...or load it directly in your HTML.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skapi-js@latest/dist/skapi.js"></script>

Step 3: Connect your project

Initialize Skapi with your Project ID. Your backend is ready to use.

const skapi = new Skapi("<Replace this with your Project ID>");
