Moontraze Documentation

Welcome to the official Moontraze documentation.

Moontraze is a complete backend platform that gives you everything you need to build, ship, and scale modern applications — from authentication and databases to storage and static hosting.

What is Moontraze?

Moontraze is a backend-as-a-service platform designed for developers who want to move fast without managing infrastructure.

It combines:

  • Authentication — Email/password, TOTP 2FA, MON Authenticator
  • Database — Path-based document database with granular security rules
  • Storage — S3-compatible object storage with presigned URLs
  • Push Notifications — FCM-based, unlimited and free
  • Static Hosting — Deploy frontend sites and apps in seconds
  • Security Rules — Fine-grained access control at field level
  • Backups — Automatic scheduled backups
  • Custom Domains — Bring your own domain to any deployed site

And more is coming. Moontraze is built to grow with your needs.

What is Moon CLI?

Moon CLI is the command-line interface for Moontraze. It handles your entire deployment workflow:

  • Install once on Windows, Linux, macOS, or Termux
  • Deploy with one command — moon moontraze deploy --prod
  • Manage projects — link, list, update, uninstall
  • No install needed — use npx moontraze deploy --prod instead

Moon CLI is a global multi-platform router. Moontraze is one registered platform on it. You can also use Moontraze via npm without installing Moon CLI.
