1-file backend to ship fast

Free186 impressions#1232 of its week

We’re excited to launch Manifest Cloud! Manifest is the fastest way to get a backend for prototypes and MVPs. Instead of dealing with setup, config, and dashboards, you just describe your idea and get a backend in one file that’s ready to run and easy to edit. It works with any frontend, you can deploy in one click, and the open source core means you can self-host or extend it. Perfect for frontend devs, indie hackers, agencies and teams that need to ship fast without the backend pain. Try it out at https://manifest.build Let us know what you’re building 🚀

Manifest Cloud provides a one-file backend that you can describe, run and deploy instantly for prototypes and MVPs.

Manifest Cloud FAQ

Can I run Manifest on my own servers?+

Yes. The MIT-licensed Docker image can be self-hosted with no request limit and no data leaves your network.

Does Manifest take a cut of my token spend?+

No. You provide your own provider keys and pay the providers directly; Manifest does not mark up tokens.

What does the Enterprise plan add over Pro?+

Enterprise adds multi-seat team management, SSO/SAML, audit logs, custom retention, SLA and dedicated support.

Is there a free tier?+

Yes, the Free plan is $0/month and includes unlimited agents, 10k routed requests per month on Cloud, and all core features.

Can Manifest deploy and run the service for me?+

On Enterprise you can get deployment assistance and ongoing support via Slack; otherwise you can use Manifest Cloud yourself.
