The Problem

Your team is already using AI to code. Are you ready for the mess?

Employees are using AI to build renewal trackers, triage dashboards, and workflows. They are moving faster than ever.

But without guardrails, you get rogue databases, untracked code in personal repos, and massive security risks. StackFwd gives them a safe, governed sandbox.

Who has access?
Is it secure?
Will we leak data?
Where is the code?
What is the stack?
Who is hosting it?
Where is the data?
Can we audit it?

Who It's For

End the tug-of-war between speed and security.

StackFwd empowers business teams to move fast while keeping IT fully in control of the underlying systems.

Business Teams

Build tools at the speed of thought.

Turn messy spreadsheets into real apps using AI. No coding, database, or deployment skills required. Just chat, save, and publish.

  • No Git or DevOps knowledge needed.
  • Use your favorite AI (Claude Code, Codex).
  • One-click publish.
  • Share securely with your team.

IT & Security Leaders

Govern without slowing them down.

Lock down the stack, not the employees. Apps run on your GitHub, your cloud, and your SSO. Full visibility, zero security risks.

  • Secured behind your Enterprise SSO.
  • Code stays in your GitHub organization.
  • Standardized React/Node/TypeORM stack.
  • IT-controlled dev and production databases.
  • Central directory with audit trails.

How It Works

A simple plan for governed AI development.

IT sets the guardrails once. Employees build and deploy within them forever.

1

IT sets the guardrails

Connect your SSO, GitHub, and databases. Define your approved stack to create a signed policy.

2

Employees build with AI

Users generate apps with Claude Code or Codex inside the StackFwd Studio which ensures the stack is defined.

3

Auto-save to company GitHub

Code is continuously committed and pushed to your GitHub. No Git knowledge needed by the business user.

4

One-click secure publish

StackFwd validates the code, safely updates the database, and deploys to your cloud environment.

5

Access & Track everything

A central app directory makes internal apps discoverable by employees and gives IT full visibility into ownership, access, and usage.

What IT Controls

Everything runs on your infrastructure.

A standard operating model designed for enterprise security and scale.

Standard Stack

Enforced React, TypeScript, Node, and TypeORM architectures.

Data Governance

Dev and prod databases are hosted, managed, and isolated by IT.

Cloud Deployment

Apps deploy strictly into the cloud environment IT has pre-approved.

FAQ

Answers for IT and Security.

No. StackFwd gives organizations the guardrails needed to enable employees to build apps with AI while ensuring IT standards are met.

Not at all. When they click Save or Publish, StackFwd handles all committing, and pushing silently to your company's GitHub.

No. IT sets up a dev and production database in your own cloud. StackFwd manages databases created in dev. StackFwd Studio leverages the dev database for each user, eliminating local environment headaches.

No. IT defines the approved stack (e.g., React, Node, Postgres). StackFwd physically restricts the environment and instructs the AI to stay within those bounds.

They deploy into your approved cloud environment. StackFwd manages the pipeline, but the runtime and data live on your infrastructure.

They may, but do you want to be locked into a specific LLM provider? By using StackFwd, you can change LLM providers anytime.
