Schema is the source of truth

Define your data once. Ship the services your application needs.

Every model becomes a typed, observable and permission-aware API surface. No hand-wiring, no hidden generated code.

04Schema versioning

AI drafts.
You approve
what ships.

AI and MCP can create a starting point. Every generated change becomes a reviewable draft—so you can inspect the plan, approve it, publish it, and retain the complete schema history.

05Database freedom

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.

SQLite · PostgreSQL · MySQL · MariaDB · MongoDB · SQL Server · Oracle · Firestore · DynamoDB

06Local-first workflow

Build locally.
Ship when ready.

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