# Own your entire stack. — Hanzo AI > Open source Backend-as-a-Service with Auth, Database, Storage, and Functions. Open source • Apache-2.0 • Self-hostable # Point it ata repository. Platform builds it, runs it, gives it a domain with a certificate, and shows you the logs. It is the deploy plane of the Open AI Cloud, and it runs on one VPS as happily as on a cluster you already own.

These are the pieces it lands next to — each one a service you can deploy beside your app, or reach on Hanzo Cloud without deploying anything. ### Core Services [#### Auth Authentication, SSO, OAuth, JWT, and user management out of the box](https://hanzo.ai/identity)[#### Functions Serverless functions with automatic scaling and edge deployment](https://hanzo.ai/functions)[#### Database SQL, vector search, and real-time subscriptions](https://hanzo.ai/datastore) #### Storage Distributed object storage with CDN integration [#### Realtime WebSockets, presence, and live sync for collaborative apps](https://hanzo.ai/realtime) #### Secrets Encrypted secret management with versioning and rotation ### Additional Services API GatewayRate limiting, caching, and request transformation Cron JobsScheduled tasks with monitoring and retry logic WebhooksEvent-driven integrations with external services IAMFine-grained access control and policies Edge ConfigGlobal configuration with instant propagation VaultHardware-backed encryption and key management hanzo platform $ hanzo init my-app ✓ Created project configuration ✓ Initialized Auth, Database, Storage ✓ Generated TypeScript types $ hanzo dev Starting local development server...

Principle 14 ## Where it runs is your call Same platform, same console, same API. What changes is whose machines it lands on. ### Self-Hosted One command on a VPS you already pay for. Everything the managed one does, on hardware you can walk up to. - ✓ Runs anywhere Docker runs - ✓ Scales out across a Swarm cluster - ✓ Or drives a Kubernetes cluster you own [View on GitHub](https://github.com/hanzoai) ### Hanzo Cloud The same platform, run for you. Sign in and deploy — there is no server to stand up first. - ✓ Nothing to provision - ✓ Deploy on push, or only on a tag - ✓ Metered and billed per organization [Explore Cloud](https://hanzo.ai/cloud) ### Hybrid Run the control plane on your own server and let it deploy out to remote servers and clusters you already have. - ✓ Servers stay where they are - ✓ One console over all of them - ✓ Per-app target: this host, Swarm, or Kubernetes [Contact Sales](https://hanzo.ai/enterprise) ### Open source, all of it Apache-2.0. Forked from Dokploy, and it says so in the NOTICE. #### Apache-2.0 Use it commercially. Change it. The upstream attribution travels with it, because a fork that hides its parent is one you cannot audit. #### It is your server Builds, images, databases and backups sit on machines you chose, in a region you picked, under credentials you hold. #### Read the part that surprised you When a deploy does something you did not expect, the code that did it is right there, and so is the OpenAPI document the console itself calls.
