Build it with Hive Code — our browser-based AI agent — then run it on a curated, pre-integrated stack you own, managed and hosted in Europe.
Describe what you want to build and Hive Code's AI agent writes it for you — no local setup. It works in a real Git repo, lands changes as real commits with real CI runs, and ships your app onto your own CompactHive stack (Git, CI/CD, and a managed PostgreSQL), hosted in the EU. Unlike browser AI builders that lock you into a US-hosted sandbox, everything Hive Code produces is yours — exportable, ownable, and EU-resident.
Available on every plan. The Basic trial gives you a working taste of the agent; higher tiers get bigger burst ceilings for heavier builds. Built on OpenCode and powered by your own model access — sign in with your ChatGPT subscription or bring an OpenAI or Anthropic API key — so CompactHive never meters tokens or credits.
Already working in Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Cursor or VS Code (Copilot)? Connect it to your CompactHive workspace through our MCP server. Your agent can read app logs, app health, build status, deployment history and usage. If you opt in to operate access, it can also restart or redeploy apps, set env vars and write-only secrets, deploy catalog services and create apps — every change is previewed first and recorded in your audit log. No deletes, no shell access, no secret reads.
Sign in with OAuth or a personal access token. Access is per team member, read-only by default, revocable at any time and limited to your own workspace. Setup snippets for each client are in your dashboard under Connect agent. No agent of your own? Use Hive Code above.
No one-size-fits-all. Select your database engine, use built-in Forgejo or connect GitHub (beta), and toggle services on or off to match your team's needs and budget.
Platform-provided SSO, secrets management, and optional VPN. No setup required.
Production-grade PostgreSQL, fully managed with automated backups. The most trusted relational database.
Forgejo is built in and recommended. GitHub (beta) supports manual repo connection and Woodpecker CI/CD setup from Settings, but not Hive Code sessions, automatic shipping from Hive Code, or MCP setup_project.
Store and manage your Docker images with a private container registry and storage quotas.
Nightly backups of your entire environment, included in every plan. 7-day retention standard, 30-day on Business+.
Every optional service can be toggled off to free up CPU and RAM for your apps. Your plan determines what's available — you decide what's active. Don't need object storage? Turn off MinIO and reclaim resources. Prefer existing GitHub repos? Manual connection and CI/CD setup are available in beta. Core platform services (Kubernetes, Traefik, monitoring) are always included.
