Typebase
A framework that lets you define your entire backend — database schema, server actions, authentication — as TypeScript in a single folder.

Description
Adding a backend to a frontend project usually means standing up a separate service, wiring up an ORM, and gluing together auth — or reaching for a backend-as-a-service platform and accepting its lock-in. Typebase takes a third path: you define your database schema, server actions, and authentication inside a typebase/ folder in your existing app, written in plain TypeScript, and one CLI command deploys it as a fully-typed backend your frontend code can call like local functions.
It's built on established pieces rather than reinventing them — Drizzle ORM for the database layer, oRPC for type-safe procedure calls, and better-auth for authentication — which gives it end-to-end type safety from database to frontend. It deploys to Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, or Deno Deploy, works with Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, or Expo, and is designed explicitly to avoid vendor lock-in. Pricing isn't stated on the homepage.
💬 Our review
The short version: an appealing middle ground for developers who want a real typed backend without either hand-rolling one or committing to a backend-as-a-service platform's proprietary APIs — the 'no vendor lock-in' framing is clearly aimed at exactly that trade-off.
Compared to Supabase or Convex — both explicitly named as alternatives by the project itself — Typebase's pitch is that your backend is just TypeScript in your own repo rather than infrastructure you depend on a third party to run, which matters if portability is a priority. The trade-off is you're assembling Drizzle, oRPC, and better-auth yourself conceptually (even if Typebase wires them together for you) rather than getting a fully managed platform with a dashboard, and pricing isn't public yet, which makes it hard to compare total cost against Supabase's or Convex's published tiers.
