Build production-ready apps with everything you need to go live - authentication, database and monitoring included out of the box. Powered by an open-source framework designed for the AI era.
@hovo_ghevondyan1 the biggest difference is that instead of using existing frameworks and platforms together we’ve built a framework + cloud specifically for agentic development, more opinionated and batteries included. This lets us generate apps with guaranteed working setup.
@syed_shayanur_rahman Right now, it's web-only and more focused on complex web applications, though you can also build simple websites using Modelence. We've already noticed several users successfully building Chrome extensions with it as well.

Nice concept! How does Modelence handle more complex cases like custom middleware, background jobs, or multi-tenant setups? Is it easy to go beyond the happy path?
Thank you, @igorsorokinua. We have built-in support for cron jobs, but they are executed on the same instances as the main applications (a random instance picks up each task). This works for simple tasks, but for CPU-intensive work, we plan to use separate instances in the future.
We didn't have any requests for custom middleware, but since the framework uses Express under the hood, it will be fairly easy to add it.
Multi-tenant setups will work well if you sign in as a customer under the same domain (like Notion does), but we don't support subdomains yet.

The framing of 'framework designed for AI agents' is the most interesting angle here — most infra tools were built for humans reading docs, then retrofitted for agentic use. The production gap (auth + DB + deployment working day 1) is exactly where Claude Code and Cursor agents burn most of their retry loops. Curious whether the open-source framework is usable standalone without Modelence Cloud, or if the cloud is load-bearing for the production guarantees.
@cogotemartinez The open-source framework can be used on its own, so there is no lock in with Modelence Cloud - you can take the application you've built and run it anywhere. But in that case you'd have to manage the whole infrastructure yourself and will not have the built-in dashboards and the convenience of the managed infra.
@stepcha_cherkasov Absolutely. You have full ownership of your code, and it's easy to download or clone it and host it wherever you'd like. That said, we provide a powerful platform to host, scale, and monitor the performance of your web application - and in most cases, it should be the best hosting option available :)

Everyone’s talking about AI building apps faster, but almost no one talks about what happens after the demo works.
Who do you see as your core user right now? Indie hackers experimenting with AI agents, or teams shipping production products?
@kristina__grits thank you for the question. We are focusing on teams building production products; the whole concept is to build applications the same way we would set them up manually.

Smooth experience with auth and DB pre-wired. On a first quick test, it feels similar to others. Real edge (production-readiness, observability) is invisible until later. Worth making that visible earlier :)

What does it specialise for? Websites, web app, mobile app or chrome extensions?
