Build the product—not the pile of services behind it.

Daptin turns the things your application knows—customers, projects, content, orders—into one connected backend. Data, people, access, files, workflows, and integrations begin with the same shared context.

Why Daptin

Stop rebuilding the same backend connections for every product.

Most applications need the same foundations. The expensive part is not finding each piece—it is making identity, data, permissions, files, background work, and outside services behave like one product.

The usual pile

Every new capability adds another seam.

  • Users live apart from the records they own.
  • Files need a second permission system.
  • Background jobs quietly gain different rules.
  • Provider tokens leak into client-specific code.
  • Mail, realtime, and sites become separate operating worlds.
The Daptin approach

Start from one product model and let capabilities share it.

  • People, teams, ownership, and records connect directly.
  • Files stay attached to the data that grants access.
  • Scheduled work reuses named product actions.
  • Outside services use protected backend connections.
  • Communication and live experiences build on the same application.
The product

Everything your backend needs—explained by what it lets you create.

Each area has its own product story, concrete examples, connected capabilities, and honest boundaries. Explore without learning Daptin's internal vocabulary first.

01 · Shape the product

Turn your product's language into a working data foundation.

Describe customers, projects, orders, content, or any other records your application needs. Relationships, APIs, administration, reports, history, and localization grow from that model.

05 · Connect and communicate

Bring outside services and familiar client tools into the product.

Let customers connect accounts, turn provider calls into product actions, receive and send mail, publish feeds, and meet established file and collection clients.

06 · Keep it live and owned

Show people the current product while your team keeps operational control.

Deliver live record changes, collaborate in shared documents, run on supported databases, set traffic boundaries, coordinate nodes, and observe the paths customers depend on.

See all 44 capability journeys

See the connection

A customer joins. The whole backend already knows what that means.

A single account and team relationship can shape the records a person sees, the files they download, the actions they run, and the live updates they receive.

Real product proof

See the model, access, and actions in the running product.

The administration surface is not a concept mockup. It works with the resources and operations of the live Daptin backend.

Who it is for

Use Daptin when the product needs more than a database and endpoints.

Daptin fits small teams and product builders who want a broad, connected backend they can understand and operate without assembling every recurring foundation again.

Customer portals

Accounts, organizations, private records, documents, actions, and status updates.

Internal operations

Structured data, administration, approvals, schedules, reports, and integrations.

Content products

Models, files, collections, localization, sites, feeds, and collaboration.

Mail-enabled systems

Accounts, incoming messages, attachments, outbox work, retries, and familiar clients.

Open source · Self-hosted

Keep the backend, the data, and the operating choices.

Run Daptin in infrastructure you choose. Use SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. Keep files locally or in compatible cloud storage. Export your schema and records. Inspect the LGPL-3.0 source.

What ownership means

Control includes responsibility.

Your team chooses and operates the database, storage, secrets, TLS, DNS, capacity, monitoring, backups, and upgrades. Daptin makes that boundary visible instead of hiding it behind a hosted control plane.
