Managed Services

Understand how managed GitHub, Vercel, and Supabase are set up during onboarding.

Managed Services

Managed services support website publishing and workspaces that already use Cofounder's managed stack. They do not mean Cofounder is intended to build or own your core product.

Keep your main application, database, authentication, and product hosting in your own engineering workflow. Cofounder can still build and publish the marketing website, use connected product context, and support company work around the product. See What Cofounder Does.

When managed services are enabled for a workspace, the available stack can include:

  • managed GitHub repositories
  • managed Vercel projects
  • a managed Supabase project

Existing managed app workspaces may have all three services linked. New core product infrastructure should stay in the engineering stack you control.

Access

Users get access differently depending on the service:

  • GitHub: users are given access to the managed repositories during onboarding
  • Vercel: users are invited to the managed Vercel projects during onboarding, and can request another invite later from Settings > Advanced
  • Supabase: Cofounder manages the project for the workspace, but users are not invited into Supabase yet

What Gets Managed

  • GitHub holds the app and marketing repositories
  • Vercel runs the app and marketing projects, plus staging environments
  • Supabase provides the managed backend, with staging and production for the app
