- Build authorization system (RBAC, ACL)
- Create REST/GraphQL endpoints
- Add real-time features (WebSocket)
- Security hardening
- Set up CI/CD pipeline
- Configure monitoring & logging
- Write documentation
- Testing (unit, integration, load)
⚡ RESTHeart Cloud
Timeline: 8 hours- Sign up
- Create API
- Start building features
Now build with joy! Smart search, AI integrations, beautiful UX, innovative workflows... everything that makes your product unique.
Your Time is Precious
Spend it where it counts
Without RESTHeart
Months building undifferentiated backend infrastructure
Auth, APIs, permissions, file uploads, real-time... infrastructure users won't see or appreciate

Ready-to-Use Plugins
File storage, payment integration, custom hooks. Enable features instantly.
10 Years Battle-Tested
Building RESTHeart with the community since 2015. Continuously improved.
Production-Ready Security
JWT, encryption, brute-force protection, security best practices included.
No Vendor Lock-in
Open source core (AGPL). Self-host anytime if your needs change.
Build with AI
Use the Sophia MCP server to let your AI assistant—Claude, Cursor, VS Code—query RESTHeart docs directly and help you build faster.
When NOT to Use RESTHeart Cloud
We believe in transparency. Here's when RESTHeart might not be the right fit:
Non-MongoDB Database
RESTHeart is built specifically for MongoDB. If you need PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc., consider alternatives like Supabase or Hasura.
Custom Protocols/Formats
If you require protocols beyond REST/GraphQL/WebSocket or custom data formats, you may need more control.
Extreme Performance Optimization
If you need microsecond-level optimizations specific to your use case, a custom build might be better.
Maximum Infrastructure Control
If you want to control every aspect of infrastructure (Kubernetes configs, custom load balancers, etc.), self-hosting may be preferred.
In these cases, consider self-hosting RESTHeart open source
Learn About Self-HostingThe Developer Experience
Build with joy vs. build with boilerplate
| Developer Experience | With RESTHeart Cloud | Building Everything Yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Day One | Building features users will love | Configuring servers & databases |
| Where You Create Value | Smart search, AI integrations, beautiful UX | Auth scaffolding, CRUD boilerplate |
| Time to First Feature | 8 hours, then build immediately | Weeks of infrastructure work first |
| Debugging Experience | Only in your unique features | Infrastructure bugs + feature bugs |
| Staying Updated | Automatic (security, features) | Manual patching & upgrades |
| Foundation Quality | 10 years building with the community | Learn security & scale the hard way |
| Freedom to Leave | Open source, self-host anytime | Your code, your rules |
| Extend & Customize | Plugins + interceptors + webhooks | Full control (if you build it) |
