Layeron

The Backend Layer on Cloudflare

Layeron is a Cloudflare-native BYOC backend platform. Build one coherent backend app in TypeScript, and Layeron turns it into Workers, routes, bindings, D1, R2, Queues, Durable Objects, Workflows, KV, secrets, logs, and deployment state inside your own Cloudflare account.

BYOC means Bring Your Own Cloudflare. Your runtime resources, user data, execution, and Cloudflare billing stay in your Cloudflare account. Layeron provides the control plane, compiler, orchestrator, SDKs, CLI, dashboard, module system, resource inference, and deployment experience.

Core Idea

Write backend capabilities in application code:

import { backend } from "@layeron/core"
import { realtime, storage } from "@layeron/modules"

const app = backend({
  project: "acme",
  compatibilityDate: "2026-05-23",
})

const files = storage.bucket({ name: "assets" })
const live = realtime({ name: "live", allowAnonymous: true })

app.use(files)
app.use(live)

app.get("/api/health", () => ({ ok: true }))

export default app

Layeron compiles that app into a Cloudflare resource graph and deploys the plan through a deterministic platform pipeline.

  -> RuntimeTopology
  -> Resource graph
  -> Diff
  -> Plan
  -> Apply
  -> Deployment state

Product

• Capability-first backend authoring: Define routes, modules, jobs, storage, auth, realtime, webhooks, logs, policies, and secrets in code.
• Cloudflare-native deployment: Layeron lowers backend capabilities into Workers, bindings, D1, R2, Queues, Durable Objects, Workflows, KV, routes, domains, migrations, and deployment metadata.
• BYOC ownership model: Application runtime, data, and Cloudflare billing stay in the user's Cloudflare account.
• Single developer experience: One project, one backend app, one SDK, one dashboard, and one deployment model.

Quickstart

Install the CLI:

npm install -g @layeron/cli

Create a project:

layer init my-backend

Run it locally:

cd my-backend
layer dev
