1Backend is an AI-native microservices platform written in Go that combines a framework, proxy, and runtime for building distributed applications. It provides built-in services for auth, users, containers, LLMs, email, files, and more, with multitenant support and microfrontend routing.

Use cases

• build ai apps with scalable microservices
• self-host llm inference in containers
• run multiple apps on one install with multitenancy
• avoid hand-rolling auth and user management for microservices
• deploy microservices and microfrontends on-premise
• build a distributed backend platform without infrastructure overhead

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included platform for distributed AI applications
• you need on-premise or self-hosted AI model serving with container orchestration
• you want built-in auth, users, email, and file services out of the box
• you prefer language-agnostic services communicating over OpenAPI-defined APIs

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested, mature platform for large enterprise production workloads
• you prefer composing individual best-of-breed tools rather than an opinionated all-in-one platform
• your project is a simple monolith with no distributed-systems needs
• you require a permissive license since 1Backend is AGPL-3.0
