Hi all, Aram and Eduard here - authors of Modelence (https://github.com/modelence/modelence), an all-in-one backend platform for teams that love TypeScript + MongoDB. Think Supabase, but for MongoDB: auth, cron jobs, email, monitoring, without glue code before you can ship.
As Karpathy (and many of us) noted, getting from prototype to production is mostly painful integration work. The pieces exist, but stitching them together reliably is the hard part: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1905051558783418370. YC AI Startup School talk about this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=shared&t=1940&v=LCEmiR...
We intend to fill those gaps! What you get out of the box:
- Authentication / user management
- Database
- Email integration (3rd party, but things like user verification emails work out of the box)
- AI integration
- Cron jobs
- Monitoring / Telemetry
- Configs & secrets
- Analytics (coming soon)
- File uploads (coming soon)
How it runs: A Node.js backend with MongoDB. It's frontend-agnostic, so you can use our minimal Vite + React starter or drop Modelence behind an existing Next.js (or any) frontend.
We're also building a managed cloud, similar to what Vercel is for Next.js, except Modelence focuses on the backend instead of the frontend (Vercel is great for content sites like landing pages, blogs, etc, but things like persistent connections and complex backend logic outgrow it quickly). You can find a quick demo here: " rel="nofollow">
We're looking for early users (especially TS teams on MongoDB). Tell us what's missing, what's confusing, and what you'd want before trusting this in prod. Happy to answer anything!
