Swap anything

Your infrastructure. Your choice. Click any adapter in the config to swap it.

KV / Cache

Queue

Realtime

Storage

Custom

Write your own adapter

questpie.config.ts

runtimeConfig({ kv: { adapter: () }, queue: { adapter: () }, search: (), realtime: { adapter: () }, storage: { driver: ({ bucket: "assets" }) }, email: { adapter: () }, })

Click the highlighted adapters to swap. Under 50 lines to write your own.

Optional admin

Ship the admin panel only when you need it. Swappable package. Web, React Native, or build your own.

collections/posts.ts

collection("posts") .admin(({ c }) => ({ label: "Posts", icon: c.icon("ph:article"), })) .list(({ v }) => v.collectionTable({ columns: ["title", "status", "author", "date"], })) .form(({ v, f }) => v.collectionForm({ fields: [f.title, f.content], sidebar: { fields: [f.status, f.author] }, })) .access({ create: ({ session }) => !!session, update: ({ session, doc }) => doc.authorId === session?.user?.id, })

End-to-end types

Schema to screen. Zero disconnect. Change a field — TypeScript catches it everywhere.

client.ts

const { docs } = await client.collections.posts.find({ where: { status: { eq: "published" } }, orderBy: { createdAt: "desc" }, with: { author: true, tags: true }, locale: "sk", }); // docs[0].title → string // docs[0].author → User // docs[0].tags → Tag[]

Composable

Core parts = user code. Modules compose depth-first with deduplication. Every module uses the exact same conventions as user code.

questpie-starter

Auth, users, sessions, API keys, assets. Better Auth integration. Default access. i18n messages.

questpie-admin

Admin UI. 18 field renderers, 3 view types, sidebar, dashboard widgets. Table, form, block editor.

questpie-audit

Change logging via global hooks. Every create, update, delete tracked. Zero config required.

Your module

Same file conventions, same patterns. Build your own module. Publish to npm. No special APIs.

Developer experience

The details matter. Instant regeneration, typed scaffolding, build-time validation.

WATCH

$ questpie dev

✓ Watching...

✓ server (23 collections)

✓ admin-client (15 blocks)

SCAFFOLD

$ questpie add collection products

✓ Created collections/products.ts

✓ Regenerated types

VALIDATE

✗ Server defines blocks/hero

but no renderer found

→ Create admin/blocks/hero.tsx

REALTIME

client.realtime.subscribe(

{ resource: "posts" },

(event) => updateUI(event)

);|
