Core Concepts

Cubby is designed to be simple, but here are the key concepts to understand.

Apps

An app is a deployed project. Each app gets:
  • A unique URL: <app-name>--<username>.cubby.pro
  • Cubby SSO in front of every request
  • A SQLite database by default, or Neon Postgres on Builder/Pro when selected
  • An isolated container
  • TLS handled by the platform

CUBBY.md

Every Cubby app should have a CUBBY.md file in its root. This file:
  • Provides context to AI tools building your app
  • Documents platform constraints
  • Explains available APIs and patterns
When you run cubby init, this file is created automatically.

Secrets

Environment variables are managed via cubby secrets. Secrets are:
  • Encrypted at rest
  • Injected at runtime
  • Never exposed in logs
Common secrets: API keys, database URLs (auto-provided), third-party service credentials.

Sharing

Apps can be shared with other Cubby users. Shared users:
  • See the app in their dashboard
  • Can access the app URL
  • Cannot modify the app or its secrets

Always Running

Your apps run continuously on Cubby. No cold starts, no wake-up delays. When a request comes in, your app responds immediately.

Pricing Tiers

Cubby has four tiers: Free, Starter (4.99/mo),Builder(4.99/mo), Builder (9.99/mo), and Pro ($19.99/mo). Every new user gets a 30-day trial on their first deploy. See the billing page for full details.
