## What it is
Taubyte (tau) is an open-source, self-hosted fullstack cloud platform that lets developers and AI coding agents build, test, and ship applications on infrastructure they control. It uses a P2P networking fabric, a WebAssembly runtime for secure multi-tenant execution, and Git as the source of truth, with a local runtime (Dream) that mirrors production.

## Use cases
- self-host a serverless platform on my own servers
- deploy apps with git push without managing kubernetes
- run a local cloud environment that mirrors production
- let AI coding agents build and deploy fullstack apps
- host websites, functions, and databases on-prem or at the edge
- replace stitched-together devops tooling with one platform
- build a branded developer platform on owned compute

## When to choose
- you want a low-ops, git-native PaaS on infrastructure you own
- you need local/production parity for human and AI-agent workflows
- you want serverless functions, web hosting, KV storage, and messaging in one self-hosted stack
- data sovereignty or on-prem/edge requirements rule out managed SaaS

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, battle-tested alternative like Kubernetes with a large ecosystem
- your stack depends on long-running containers or non-WASM runtimes
- you prefer fully managed cloud services with vendor support
- you need fine-grained control over every infrastructure component
