Codehooks.io is an agent-native backend platform that enables AI agents and developers to create, deploy, test, and iterate on complete production-ready backends—including APIs, databases, queues, CRON jobs, authentication, and frontend hosting—entirely from the terminal using CLI commands.

---

🚀 Overview

Codehooks.io is the end-to-end backend platform designed specifically for AI coding agents and CLI-first developers. It allows users to go from a simple prompt to a fully deployed backend in seconds, without managing infrastructure, containers, or CI/CD pipelines.

• What problem does this project solve? Traditional backends rely on manual dashboard configurations and human workflows, which are slow and incompatible with AI agents. Codehooks eliminates this by providing a CLI-native, zero-config platform where agents can autonomously build, deploy, and manage backends.
• Who is it built for? AI agents (like Claude or custom LLMs), solo developers, indie makers, and teams building APIs, SaaS integrations, automations, workflows, full-stack apps, or real-time data pipelines.
• Why did you build it? Most backends were designed for humans clicking through UIs; Codehooks was built so AI agents can handle everything programmatically from the terminal, accelerating development from idea to production.

✨ Key Features

• CLI-first workflow (coho create, coho deploy, etc.): Enables instant creation and deployment of backends from the terminal, perfect for AI agents and rapid iteration without dashboards.
• Built-in NoSQL database: MongoDB-like queries for data storage, with daily backups on paid plans and GDPR-compliant EU hosting.
• Queues, workers, and CRON: Handle async tasks, scheduled jobs, and multi-step workflows like Slack alerts or CRM updates.
• JWT/JWKS authentication: Seamless integration with Auth0, Clerk, etc., via codehooks-auth for secure APIs.
• React admin dashboards: Auto-generated UIs for APIs, plus full-stack hosting for React apps and static sites.
• Optional: Unlimited compute on flat-rate pricing, webhook support for Stripe, Shopify, GitHub.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Frontend: React (admin dashboards, SPAs), static site hosting
• Backend: Node.js with Express.js-like REST/CRUD API routes
• Database: NoSQL (MongoDB-style queries), key-value store
• Auth: JWT/JWKS, compatible with external providers
• Hosting: Serverless platform on codehooks.io (no Docker/CI needed)

👥 Who Is This For?

This project is useful for:

• Developers who want to build APIs, SaaS webhooks (Stripe, Twilio), or scheduled automations quickly via CLI
• AI agents automating backend creation, deployment, and iteration
• Indie makers and teams looking for zero-infra MVPs, full-stack apps, or IoT/real-time pipelines
