    Typebase

    Updated Jun 2026

    Typebase is a backend-as-a-folder platform that collapses the distance between your frontend and your database into a single, type-safe directory. You create a `typebase/` folder inside your existing app, write your Drizzle ORM schema in `db/schema.ts`, define server actions under `actions/`, and optionally configure auth in `auth.ts`. The Typebase CLI then generates end-to-end typed client code, pushes schema changes to Postgres (hosted on Neon), and deploys your server to Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, or Deno Deploy — or outputs the server code so you can host it anywhere. The frontend calls generated client methods that feel like local functions, with full TypeScript IntelliSense for every query and mutation. Built on oRPC for type-safe RPC, Drizzle ORM for database management, and better-auth for authentication, Typebase eliminates the boilerplate and configuration drift that usually comes with setting up a separate backend. It is particularly appealing to full-stack developers who want the convenience of a managed backend without surrendering their codebase to a proprietary dashboard or platform lock-in.

    Pros

    • Backend lives inside your frontend repo — no context switching between repositories
    • End-to-end TypeScript type safety from schema to client call
    • Deploys to standard platforms (Vercel, Cloudflare, Deno) with no vendor lock-in
    • Built on proven open-source primitives: Drizzle, oRPC, better-auth
    • CLI handles codegen, schema pushes, and deployment in a single workflow

    Cons

    • Best suited for TypeScript projects — other languages not supported
    • Requires familiarity with Drizzle ORM and relational database concepts
    • Still early; ecosystem plugins and community resources are growing
