Codehooks CLI

Codehooks.io is the agent-native backend platform. A complete, isolated backend — API routes, NoSQL database, key-value store, worker queues, cron jobs, and static asset hosting — that deploys in under 5 seconds from a single CLI command.

Why Codehooks?

CLI-First, Zero Friction – Every operation is a CLI command. Your agent doesn't need a browser, a dashboard, or a tutorial. coho deploy and it's live.

Everything Built In – Database, queues, cron, key-value store, auth — it's all there. No provisioning, no wiring, no YAML. No more piecing together API Gateway + Lambda + DynamoDB + SQS.

Sub-5-Second Deploys – Your agent can iterate 50 times in the time it takes other platforms to deploy once.

AI Agent Native – Works seamlessly with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, and other AI coding agents. Any tool that can run shell commands can autonomously create, deploy, verify, and iterate on a production backend.

Flat-Rate Pricing – Unlimited compute included. No per-request fees, no surprise bills.

Key Features:

• JavaScript ES6/TypeScript support
• Express.js-like routing with app.get(), app.post(), etc.
• NoSQL database with MongoDB-like query API
• Key-value store with Redis-like API and TTL support
• Workflow API with state management, automatic retries, and error recovery
• Background cron jobs and persistent worker queues
• File storage and static frontend hosting
• Secure authentication (API tokens, JWT/JWKS)
• Easy CRUD API creation with app.crudlify()
• Production-ready webhook templates for Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, Discord, Slack, and more

Quick Start

Install & sign up / login

npm install codehooks -g
coho login

Create a new project

coho create myproject
cd myproject

Write your backend

import { app, Datastore } from 'codehooks-js';

// REST API routes
app.get('/hello', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: 'Hello World!' });
});

// Store and query data
app.post('/items', async (req, res) => {
  const conn = await Datastore.open();
  const result = await conn.insertOne('items', req.body);
  res.json(result);
});

// Auto-generate CRUD REST API for any collection
app.crudlify();

export default app.init();

TypeScript is supported, read more here.
