One capability at a time.

01 / 16Release Control

Release rollouts with rings, auto-advance, and rollback

Ship backend changes through canary percentages, health gates, staged promotion, and forced rollback when a release goes bad.

What it does

Lets a release move through explicit rollout rings such as 5%, 25%, and 100%, with deterministic client bucketing, dwell-time checks, telemetry gates, and environment-aware deployment control.

Why it matters

Most backend platforms can deploy. Fewer can limit blast radius, auto-promote on health, and force a rollback to the last known good release when a bad build slips through.

Real-world use

Roll a new white-label app backend to a small subscriber slice first, watch runtime success and error rates, then widen the rollout only if the system stays healthy.

03 / 16Marketplace

Public marketplace catalogue and private allowlist apps

Run a public app store when you want reach, then lock selected apps behind email allowlists when distribution must stay controlled.

04 / 16Monetization

Metered add-ons, tier switching, and subscriber grants

Charge per seat, per screen, or per event, while still supporting flat add-ons, trials, grants, and mid-cycle tier changes.

05 / 16Payments

Passthrough Stripe payments with Connect commission splits

Charge through your own Stripe account, refund safely, audit every event, and split funds in marketplace flows without Vault56 holding the money.

06 / 16AI Budgeting

Organization AI wallet with per-member spend limits

Fund AI Builder at the org level, cap who can spend it, and keep a ledger of which members used what budget on which projects.

07 / 16Realtime Media

Short-lived TURN credentials for WebRTC apps

Issue expiring TURN credentials for restrictive networks so realtime audio, video, and screen-share apps can relay safely.

08 / 16Scaffolding

Atomic capability creation for app bundles and pricing

Create features, tier bundling, and optional paid add-ons in one transaction instead of stitching together fragile multi-call setup flows.

09 / 16Previewing

Preview URLs with tier impersonation and usage caps

Generate tightly scoped preview sessions that behave like a subscriber on a chosen tier without exposing full publisher power.

10 / 16Data API

Sparse-field projection and high-speed batch inserts

Trim payloads with `_fields` and push large writes through bulk insert paths that preserve API shape while removing needless overhead.

11 / 16Messaging

Live IMAP peek for inbox experiences without full sync

Read email directly from IMAP on demand, even when the account is not running the heavier background sync pipeline.

Read more+
12 / 16Identity

App-token self-introspection and stricter preview scopes

Let a running app understand exactly which app token it is using, while keeping preview tokens locked to a narrow allowlist of safe paths.

Read more+
13 / 16Workflows

Draft-safe published forms with explicit publish and discard

Stage design edits for already-published forms as drafts so live forms do not silently drift while someone is still editing.

Read more+
14 / 16Access Design

Permission-group templates and endpoint labeling for subscribers

Publish standard permission groups, bulk-edit endpoint rights, and expose human-readable endpoint labels instead of raw backend names.

Read more+
15 / 16Streams

CDC-style downstream change pipelines and telemetry reports

Feed external services, analytics, sync workers, and rollout health systems with ordered change events and client-side runtime reporting.

Read more+
16 / 16Security

Cache-aware public APIs with sanitized rich text and stricter error contracts

Expose selected endpoints publicly with explicit cache rules, sanitize only what is safe to trust, and return cleaner error structures for integrators.
