The Hidden Costs of SaaS Dependency

❌

Vendor Lock-in — Your data, workflows, and team habits are trapped in someone else’s platform.

❌

Per-Seat Pricing — Costs scale with headcount, not value. Growing your team means growing your SaaS bill.

❌

Feature Bloat — You pay for thousands of features you never use, while the ones you need are behind enterprise paywalls.

❌

Data Sovereignty — Your business data lives on servers you don’t control, in jurisdictions you didn’t choose.

❌

Integration Tax — Connecting SaaS tools requires middleware, custom APIs, and constant maintenance.

One Config. Full Application.

Sovrium turns a simple configuration file into a complete business application — authentication, database, API, pages, and admin panel included.

// app.ts — Type-safe, with IDE completion
import { start } from 'sovrium'

await start({
  name: 'Company CRM',
  tables: [{ name: 'contacts', fields: [
    { name: 'name', type: 'single-line-text' },
    { name: 'email', type: 'email', required: true },
    { name: 'status', type: 'single-select', options: ['Lead', 'Customer'] },
  ]}],
  pages: [{ path: '/', name: 'Dashboard' }],
  auth: { strategies: ['email-password'] },
})

Also works with YAML and JSON configs:

sovrium start app.yaml      # or app.json
bun run app.ts               # TypeScript with type safety

Define your app schema in TypeScript, YAML, or JSON.

Deploy
