What it is: Hosted Kumiko with AI-builder, Designer and operations for your apps — so you don’t have to handle servers, backups and updates.

The pitch in one line: From “I have an idea for an internal tool” to “the URL works in our browser” in under 2 minutes — without you touching a server, a database, or a deploy pipeline.

What “hosted” actually means

You log in, click new app, give it a name. The platform spins up everything you need: app, database, search index, file storage, SSL certificate, audit log, backup schedule. A live URL is ready in under 2 minutes. You start building immediately — no setup pause, no “wait for the deploy”, no Stack Overflow rabbit hole.

Need a second app? Same account, click again. Asset tracker today, helpdesk next week, vendor portal next month — all under one login, all with the same audit trail and the same authentication.

What you get per app	Default
Live URL	Under 2 minutes after click
Database	Dedicated, your own credentials, EU-hosted
File storage	Bucket per app, EU-hosted
Search	Full-text search, ready out of the box
SSL	Wildcard, auto-renewed
Backup	Continuous + daily snapshot, 30 days
Audit trail	Every change tracked, queryable

Multiple apps, one account

A single Kumiko account hosts multiple apps. They share the login, the user list, the team structure — but each app has its own database, its own data, its own permissions. Shut one down without touching the others. Scale one up without paying for the rest.

This is how DACH mid-market actually works: not “one tool for everything” but “the right tool for each problem, but please not five vendors and five logins”. One account, many apps.

Custom domain on Pro

Free apps run under a Kumiko-platform URL. From Pro upward, you bring your own domain — tools.acme.de, intern.muster-ag.de — and we handle the certificate. Your customers see your brand, your URL, your trust.

Performance on demand

Standard tiers cover 95% of what DACH mid-market apps need. If you have a workload that doesn’t fit the standard box — heavy reporting, large file processing, real-time control with thousands of concurrent users — talk to us. We’ll spec a custom performance class for you instead of forcing you into a tier you don’t actually want.

No surprise upcharges, no “you used 3% more CPU than the tier allows so we’re going to charge you triple”. We talk first, scope it, then run it.

Live today

Showcase platform publicstatus.eu — multi-tenant status pages built end-to-end on Kumiko
Framework public on GitHub under BSL-1.1 — every line you’d be running is readable

Coming H2 2026

Designer in the browser — visual editing of your features (forms, screens, navigation, roles)
AI-builder — prompt-driven feature generation, claude.ai-style
Self-service app hosting — sign up, click, build (today this is concierge through us)

What you don’t do yourself

Set up servers, tune Postgres, renew SSL
Run and test backups
Track CVEs in Postgres / Redis / Bun / your dependencies
Build a tenant scoping layer, an audit log, a permission system — those are framework defaults
AI setup (Anthropic default included, BYOK optional)

Architecture — built with itself

kumiko.so IS a Kumiko app. Consequences:

We find bugs first — every platform issue is also a framework issue
No demo trick — “built with itself” isn’t a slogan, it’s the setup
Self-host path for enterprise — platform code (Designer UI, AI-builder frontend, tenant provisioning) lives in a private repo, self-host available on enterprise terms

Pricing

See pricing — range exists, final pricing comes Q3 2026 with the first pilot customers.

Working draft:

Free: 1 app, Kumiko-platform URL, Anthropic-default LLM with cap
Pro (~€49–149/month per app): multiple apps, your own domain, BYOK LLM
Enterprise (mid 4–5 figures p.a.): dedicated instance, SLA, premium support, on-prem license available

Current status

Live today (May 2026): Framework + showcase publicstatus.eu in production. Designer foundation built.

Next: Platform app with Designer in the browser → AI-builder → public self-service hosting. Pilot users get earlier access than the general market.

→ Pilot program (3–5 slots): hello@kumiko.so

kumiko.so — the hosted platform
