How does my AI agent deploy to Codehooks?

Install the CLI (`npm i -g codehooks`), then your agent can run `coho create`, write code, and `coho deploy` — all from the terminal. **Claude Code users:** Add the [Codehooks plugin](https://github.com/RestDB/codehooks-claude-plugin) for auto-detection, templates, and full API context on top of the CLI. Use `coho prompt` to generate platform context, or provide [llms.txt](https://codehooks.io/llms.txt) for full docs. For agents without CLI access, we also offer an [MCP server](https://github.com/RestDB/codehooks-mcp-server).

What's included out of the box?

Everything you need for a complete backend: **CRUD and REST API routes** (Express.js-like), **NoSQL database** (MongoDB-like queries), **key-value store**, **queues** with workers, **CRON jobs**, and **JWT/JWKS authentication**. Every project includes all of this — grab any template, deploy it, and it just works. Nothing to provision.

How is this different from Firebase or Supabase?

Codehooks is **CLI-first and agent-native**. While Firebase and Supabase require dashboard configuration, Codehooks lets an AI agent create, deploy, inspect, and iterate on a complete backend without ever leaving the terminal. Plus, all paid plans include **unlimited compute** with no per-request fees.

What if my agent deploys too often?

That's the beauty of **flat-rate pricing**. Your agent can deploy 50 iterations while debugging and your bill stays the same. No per-request fees, no compute metering, no surprises. $19/month, unlimited.

How fast can I go from prompt to production?

About **90 seconds** for the full loop: prompt, scaffold, deploy, verify. The deploy itself takes **under 5 seconds**. No build steps, no container images, no CI/CD pipelines. Just `coho deploy`.

Where is my data stored?

All data and backups are stored in the **EU**. Paid plans include **daily automated backups**. We are **GDPR compliant**.

How does authentication and security work?

You can integrate any auth provider that supports JWKS (e.g. Auth0, Clerk). For custom setups, we provide codehooks-auth. API keys and secrets are encrypted. Paid plans can restrict access by IP address. We provide **encryption at rest** and are **GDPR compliant**.

I'm not a developer — is there a simpler option?

If you want to build a working business app from a plain-language description instead of writing code, check out our sibling product **[Snill.ai](https://snill.ai/#waitlist)** — also from the Codehooks team. Snill generates a complete app with database, dashboards, and a REST API from a description of your business. It complements Codehooks: Snill apps emit webhooks Codehooks can consume, so you can combine a no-code frontend with custom backend logic. [Join the waitlist →](https://snill.ai/#waitlist)
