Why startups choose Spacetime

One platform instead of a stack

Spacetime combines your database, backend and real-time sync engine into a single platform. Build multiplayer games, collaborative apps and real-time web applications without stitching together a database, API server and WebSocket infrastructure.

Database and backend in one

Your data and server logic live in one place. Deploy a single application instead of managing separate databases, servers, caches and sync layers.

Real-time by default

Built-in synchronization keeps every connected client up to date automatically.

Zero-downtime updates

Hot-swap server modules to roll out backend changes without disconnecting active clients.

Your languages

Write server logic in TypeScript, Rust, C++ or C#, with type-safe client SDKs for TypeScript, React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Node.js and more.

Prototype to production

Scale from your first prototype to production without changing your architecture.

Source available

You have access to the source code of the platform you are building on.

  • Multiplayer games
  • Collaborative editors and productivity tools
  • AI applications with shared state
