Lathe gives solo builders and small teams a complete application stack on one dedicated machine. It brings the app, databases, authentication, and day-to-day operations together under one predictable monthly price, without per-user or request metering.

What's included in this release:

• Run Postgres, Redis, CouchDB, and NATS in any combination, with standard protocols, TLS, and credentials for each engine.
• Deploy any container image beside its data, then move traffic only after the new version passes its health check.
• Add email, OAuth, multi-factor authentication, and sessions while keeping user records in your own Postgres database.
• Restore from seven daily backups that are tested monthly, with snapshots taken before destructive recovery operations.
• Manage instances, engines, credentials, allowlists, backups, and deployments through the portal, REST API, or MCP server.

Together, these capabilities replace a scattered hosting stack with one managed machine that remains portable, inspectable, and straightforward to operate.
