Deploy full-stack with zero setup

The PiPilot Team

The gap between “it works on my screen” and “it works on the internet” is where most projects stall — accounts, config files, environment variables, a database you have to provision. PiPilot collapses that gap with two zero-setup pieces: a free, keyless instant deploy for your frontend, and PiPilot DB — a real Postgres — for everything that needs to persist.

The frontend: instant deploy

When your app is ready, one click runs the production build and publishes it to a live, shareable HTTPS link in seconds. No account, no token, no config — it’s free and keyless, and re-running updates the same link in place. It’s static frontend hosting, so it’s perfect for landing pages, tools, dashboards, and single-page apps (use hash routing so deep links survive a refresh).

The backend: PiPilot DB

Anything that needs to persist — users, data, sessions — runs on PiPilot DB, an instant, production-grade Postgres provisioned in seconds. You get tables, SQL, auth, and a REST Data API out of the box, and the agent writes the queries for you.

  • Instant deploy — your frontend on a real, shareable URL, free and keyless.
  • Auth — sign-in for your users, backed by PiPilot DB, without building it from scratch.
  • A real Postgres — tables, SQL, and relational data, provisioned in seconds.
  • A REST Data API — read and write your data from the app with no boilerplate.
  • Claim it anytime — move the database into your own account to keep it forever.

How it wires up

You don’t assemble any of this by hand. The agent scaffolds the app, wires it to PiPilot DB, and writes the integration; you click deploy. There are no environment files to juggle and nothing to configure before your first launch. Outgrown the instant link? Connect Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare and ship to your own account — full backend and serverless support, with a custom domain — whenever you’re ready.

Describe an app, deploy the frontend instantly, and back it with PiPilot DB — full-stack, from prompt to a live URL, in one flow.
