Governance and operations, built in

The application
operating system.

Your data, logic, and interface in one place, with hosting, deploys, domains, and backups built in. Every change goes through one set of rules, whether it comes from you, your code, or your AI. All of it stays yours to export or self-host.

No credit card to start, and a 7-day free trial when you're ready to go live. Export your app or self-host it whenever you want.

You, your code, and your AI all work with the same building blocks, and every change is checked against the same rules before it lands.
How it works

Where the control comes from

Speed is easy to demo and hard to live with. Cloud Canal keeps your app understandable as it grows. Here's what makes that hold.

One surface for every change

You build in the visual editor, your code calls the API, your AI uses the same tools. Underneath it's the same collections, pages, and workflows, and you can open and edit any of it.

One set of rules, enforced server-side

Every change runs through the same server-side validation, whether it comes from you, your code, or your AI. Bad input gets rejected the same way for everyone, so your app can't drift into a broken state.

Build in dev, ship when ready

Make changes against a development copy, see exactly what changed, then publish to production. If a release goes wrong, you can roll it back in one step.

A clear diff of every release, one click to publish, one click to undo.

A third way

Between vibe-coding and writing every line by hand

Control and speed usually pull against each other. Cloud Canal sits where they meet.

Slow but safe

Traditional development

  • Maximum control
  • Slowest to ship
  • Needs deep engineering
Fast and safe

Cloud Canal

  • Guardrails on every change
  • Fast on every change
  • Stays yours and readable
Fast but fragile

Vibe coding

  • Fastest to a demo
  • Hard to maintain
  • Quietly piles up debt
One platform

Everything an app needs, in one place

Everything a real app needs, on one shared foundation your visual builder, your code, and your AI all work from.

Production from day one

Hosting, custom domains, email, file storage, image optimization, backups, logs, and spend caps. The operational layer every app needs, without stitching together a half-dozen vendors.

Your database, designed visually

Model collections, relations, and access rules on PocketBase. One schema your builder, your code, and your AI all read from.

A visual builder

Lay out pages, build components, and manage themes and design tokens, down to the last detail.

Workflows

Run logic on the server with events, actions, and hooks, triggered by your data.

Build it your way

Make changes in the visual editor, through the API from your own code, or by handing work to AI. Every path goes through the same governed tools.

Yours to keep

Export your data, your workflows, and your whole app at any time, or self-host PocketBase. We'd rather earn the renewal than lock you in.

Going fast isn't worth much if you spend the next three days fixing what broke. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
