Pikku

The product is an open-source backend platform that provides database, authentication, content, email, secrets, and workflows from a single command, solving the need to install and assemble separate services and keep local and production environments identical. It is for developers and engineering teams in business-to-business organizations building backend applications. It is positioned against frameworks that provide only a router by booting a complete production-equivalent platform locally that deploys unchanged to self-hosted, cloud, or managed infrastructure.
