Introducing PiPilot Host: the AI ships the backend too

Most hosting is about the frontend. You bring a repo, wire up a build, and get a beautiful static site — and then the real work starts: standing up an API, provisioning a database, configuring storage, and juggling environment secrets across two or three more services. The frontend was the easy 20%.

PiPilot Host is our answer to the other 80%. It’s our proprietary full-stack hosting engine — a Vercel alternative where the AI doesn’t just build your app, it ships it. Ask PiPilot to deploy and you get a live frontend and a serverless backend on the same domain, with a database, object storage, and managed secrets, from a single deploy. No separate account, no CLI, no config.

What ships in one deploy

• Frontend + backend on one domain — no separate API host, no CORS setup.
• A production database with a typed SDK — query, insert, update, delete from the first deploy, no connection strings.
• Per-app object storage with signed URLs, included — not a bolt-on you configure and bill separately.
• Managed secrets via one-time entry links your user fills in — the value is bound server-side and never touches the browser or the model.
• Custom domains with automatic TLS, and versioned deploys with instant rollback.

The part that’s genuinely different: the agent does the deploy

You don’t open a dashboard or connect a Git repo. You describe the app, and the agent writes the backend, provisions the data plane, deploys, and then polls the build until it reports ready — fixing validation errors on its own along the way. Deployment stops being a step you manage and becomes something that just happens.

Secure by design

Every hosted app is scoped to its owner on the server — the platform holds the credentials, never the browser. The backend admin layer is hashed at provision time and re-verified on every write, so if the deployed code is ever tampered with, writes are rejected. And because every deploy is a snapshot, you can roll back a bad ship in seconds.

You’re still free to bring your own host

PiPilot Host is the fastest path when you want the backend, data, and deploy handled for you. But if you already live on Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, or GitHub Pages, PiPilot still does one-click deploys to all of them. It’s an option, not a lock-in.
