kumiko.so — the hosted platform

What it is: Hosted Kumiko with AI-builder, Designer and operations for your apps — so you don’t have to handle servers, backups and updates.

Live today:

• Showcase platform publicstatus.eu — serves multiple tenants with their own subdomain and branding

Coming H2 2026:

• Designer in the browser — visual editing of your features (forms for entities, screens, navigation, roles)
• AI-builder — prompt-driven feature generation, claude.ai-style
• App hosting — your generated app runs on a kumiko.so subdomain or your own domain
• Migrations — schema changes are translated into SQL migrations automatically
• Monitoring — error tracking, logs, metrics included

What you don’t do yourself:

• Set up servers, tune Postgres, renew SSL
• Run and test backups
• AI setup (Anthropic default available, BYOK optional)

Who uses this:

• Indie hackers and founders shipping in days, not weeks
• Teams without sysadmin capacity
• European customers on Pro tier (hosting in DE, BYOK for AI)

Architecture — built with itself

kumiko.so IS a Kumiko app. Consequences:

• We find bugs first — every platform issue is also a framework issue
• No demo trick — “built with itself” isn’t a slogan, it’s the setup
• Self-host path for enterprise — platform code (Designer UI, AI-builder frontend, tenant provisioning) lives in a private repo, self-host is enterprise terms
• Designer machine is open — the code patcher under the Designer (packages/framework/src/engine/feature-ast/) is part of the public repo. The web UI and prompt pipeline stay private
