A complete backend toolkit you run yourself: auto-generated REST API, auth with roles, file storage, realtime, a built-in API explorer, and scaffolds that write real editable code. Works on SQLite, Postgres or MySQL with no rewrite at deploy. Ship it to any $5 VPS you own, with nightly backups we restore to prove they work.

What real task does your product handle with GPT-6 Astra?

CrescoDB uses GPT-6 Astra as an engineering agent inside the actual backend project. Through CrescoDB’s MCP layer, Astra can inspect the real schema, query the database, call the local API, run access audits, make backend changes, and verify that those changes work before deployment. The real task is backend implementation and verification: instead of generating code in isolation, Astra works against the developer’s live project state and can help move a backend from schema changes to tested, safer production-ready behavior.

Hey Product Hunt — I’m Raymond, the founder of CrescoDB. I built CrescoDB because I kept running into the same problem while building software: starting the backend was getting easier, especially with coding agents, but actually owning and operating it was still fragmented. You could generate code quickly, but you still had to think about your database, APIs, access rules, migrations, deployment, backups, monitoring and what happened if you ever wanted to leave the platform. CrescoDB is my attempt to put that lifecycle into one local-first workflow. One schema can drive your database, REST API, auth, storage and realtime across SQLite, PostgreSQL and MySQL. Coding agents can inspect and work with the real project through MCP. cresco audit checks access before deployment. And when you ship, the backend runs on infrastructure you control. The core principle is simple: your code, your data, your infrastructure. CrescoDB is already live, but it is still early. I’d especially appreciate feedback from developers building real projects — what feels useful, what feels unnecessary, and where the workflow still gets in your way.
