Welcome to Forte Platforms
One platform to productionize your app: hosting, user sign-in, and payments powered by Stripe, with per-request debugging.
Welcome to Forte Platforms
Forte is one platform for taking code to production. Connect a GitHub repository and Forte builds and deploys it — backend services, static sites, or server-rendered web apps — on autoscaling infrastructure with DDoS protection in front of every endpoint. The same platform signs in your users, charges them through Stripe, and shows you exactly what happened to any request when something breaks.
Our Story
Our founders spent over a decade as Staff Engineers and Tech Leads at AWS and Meta. Every time they launched a new service, the pattern was the same: months of operational readiness work before a single feature reached customers. Security reviews. DDoS protections. Auth pen-testing. Compliance checklists. Hundreds of hours of engineering time — before anyone outside the company could use the thing you built.
We built Forte to remove that work. Your first deploy comes with what production actually requires — managed authentication, DDoS protection, autoscaling, and request-level debugging — already running. Whether you're shipping your first product or you run an engineering team that's tired of operating infrastructure, the readiness work is done before you start.

What Forte Gives You
Zero-Config Deployment
Connect your GitHub repository and push. Forte detects your language and framework, containerizes your app, and deploys it on secure autoscaling infrastructure — any framework, no Dockerfiles, no build scripts, no YAML. After the first deploy, every push to your branch (or every release, if that's how you ship) builds and deploys automatically. There is no CI/CD pipeline to set up or maintain.
If you build with Claude Code, you don't even have to do the setup yourself. Install the Forte plugin and Claude can create the project, provision services, websites, and databases, and deploy — driving the Forte CLI directly:
/plugin marketplace add forteplatforms/claude-plugin
/plugin install forte@forteplatformsThe plugin keeps Claude accurate about Forte's CLI and SDK, so "deploy this repo to Forte" works as a prompt.
Built-In Authentication
Rolling your own auth is expensive to maintain and easy to get wrong, and AI-written code has made the common mistakes more common. Forte builds authentication and authorization into the platform: email, SMS, and Google sign-in for your users, with sessions, password policies, bot detection, and secure API keys handled before a request reaches your code. Your application never stores a password.
Payments Without the Integration
Charge your users through Stripe, managed inside Forte. There is no separate Stripe account to create, no Connect onboarding, and no webhook endpoint to host. You create charges and manage saved payment methods through the same platform that handles sign-in. Tax and refunds work the same way, and payment events are delivered to your services so you can run your own logic when a charge succeeds.
Request-Based Debugging
Find failing and slow requests from the console. Every request is recorded and linked to the log lines your application wrote while handling it — no log groups to dig through and no third-party logging bill. See it in action:
| Timestamp | Method | Path | Status | Latency (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 12, 03:45:18 | GET | /api/users | 200 | 45.20 |
| Feb 12, 03:45:19 | POST | /api/orders | 201 | 89.50 |
| Feb 12, 03:45:20 | GET | /api/products/123 | 200 | 32.10 |
| Feb 12, 03:45:23 | POST | /api/checkout | 500 | 1250.80 |
| Feb 12, 03:45:25 | GET | /api/cart | 200 | 28.30 |
| Feb 12, 03:45:27 | POST | /api/webhooks/stripe | 422 | 156.20 |
| Feb 12, 03:45:28 | GET | /health | 200 | 12.50 |
| Feb 12, 03:45:30 | GET | /api/orders | 200 | 51.70 |
Secure by Default
Every endpoint gets DDoS protection and a managed API gateway automatically. There is nothing to configure and no setting that can quietly make your data public.
More in Early Access
Managed Postgres and Mongo databases, content storage with a global CDN, and scheduled jobs are available today in early access.
Security
One of our founders led security reviews for production services at AWS, and our team holds graduate degrees in cybersecurity. We hold the platform to the standard we used to spend months proving out before a launch:
- Regular third-party penetration testing — we don't grade our own work
- Isolated virtual machines per customer — no shared runtimes, no noisy neighbors
- Encryption everywhere — all data encrypted at rest and in transit
- Expert human review — every security-sensitive change is reviewed by a person, not just a model
Every Forte deployment gets this posture from day one.
