Stratus gives student developers, early-stage startups, and non-technical founders a complete cloud backend with database, auth, and storage, without touching AWS, DevOps, or server config.

import { stratus } from '@stratus/sdk';

// Auth in one call
const user = await stratus.auth.signIn({
  email, password,
});

// Query your Postgres database
const posts = await stratus
  .from('posts')
  .select('title, author');

// Upload a file, get a URL back
const { url } = await stratus
  .storage.upload(file);

The Problem

Building a product shouldn't require a cloud engineer.

Scroll across to see the wall every kind of builder hits.

For student developers

Setup eats your project time.

Setting up a backend takes longer than building the actual product. You spend the weekend fighting servers, auth flows, and database config instead of shipping the idea that's actually due.

context: student-developerTIME_LOST: 14h

// What you wanted to build: buildCoolProject() // ...still waiting on backend setup

For early startups

One wrong config, bill explodes.

AWS is powerful but overwhelming. One wrong config and the bill explodes. Early startups burn runway and engineering hours on infrastructure they shouldn't have to think about yet.

context: early-startupBILL: ₹84,000 ↑

// Surprise invoice: aws.bill = unexpected(egress + idle_instances)

For non-technical founders

Test your idea without a backend team.

You have the idea. You shouldn't need to hire a backend team to test it. Stratus gives you database, auth, and storage from one SDK so you can validate before you ever write a cheque.

context: stratusLIVE: 0.8ms

// From idea to live backend: stratus.configure({ project: 'my-startup' }) // done
