## A backend without a backend

Pages load one script from eze and can save data, react to changes and know who is looking. They use the viewer's company sign-in, so there are no keys in your code.

eze is open-source hosting you run inside your company. Upload some HTML and get a link that only your coworkers can open. Every site gets a database, live updates, file uploads and AI, with nothing to set up.

`eze deploy` or drop the folder on the eze dashboard.

``` js
<script src="https://eze.page/_q/sdk.js"></script>
<script type="module">
  const me = await eze.id.me();
  const votes = eze.db.collection('votes');

  await votes.create({ place: 'Ramen', by: me.name });
  votes.subscribe({ onCreate: (vote) => redraw() });
</script>
```

`eze.db` Save and query data, with live updates`eze.files` Uploads like images, video and PDFs`eze.ws` Rooms for cursors, chat and games`eze.ai` Call Claude, OpenAI or your own model`eze.id` The name and email of whoever is viewing
`eze init` adds instructions that teach coding agents how to build an eze site. `eze mcp` lets Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP apps deploy sites for you.

```
claude mcp add eze -- eze mcp

> make a site where my team can vote
  on where to eat on Friday
```

You need a server, a domain with wildcard DNS and HTTPS, and your company's sign-in: Google Workspace, Okta, Entra ID or any OpenID Connect provider, or an auth proxy you already use.

eze is one program with a small database file. A small VM is plenty.

```
go install github.com/ahyield/eze/cmd/eze@latest

EZE_DOMAIN=eze.acme.com \
EZE_AUTH=oidc \
EZE_OIDC_ISSUER=https://accounts.google.com \
EZE_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=... \
EZE_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=... \
EZE_OIDC_ALLOWED_DOMAINS=acme.com \
EZE_SESSION_SECRET=... \
eze serve
```

Everyone who can sign in can open, change and redeploy every site. That keeps eze simple, so keep it to your own people: eze won't start if its sign-in would let in a public email domain like gmail.com.
