Dyrected Cloud Backend

Dyrected Cloud handles the backend: database, storage, auth, and API. You keep your schema in code, then choose how editors access the admin.

What this page covers

Using Dyrected Cloud answers one question only:

• Where the backend runs: on Dyrected's servers

You still choose separately:

• Where editors use the admin: hosted admin at app.dyrected.com or embedded admin in your app
• Who owns updates: hosted admin updates are managed by Dyrected; embedded admin updates ship when you update your app packages and deploy

Getting Started

1. Create your site

Sign up at app.dyrected.com and create a new Site.

2. Copy the AI Prompt

Immediately after creating your site, you will see a Setup Prompt. This is pre-filled with your Site ID and API Key.

3. Give it to your AI

Paste that prompt into your AI tool (Claude, GPT, Cursor, etc.).

The AI will automatically:

• Install the necessary dependencies (@dyrected/admin, @dyrected/core).
• Create a dyrected.config.ts with your initial collections.
• Embed the Admin Dashboard directly into your React, Vue, or Next.js application at a route like /admin.
• Sync your Schema: The AI will run npx dyrected sync:schema for you so your cloud database is ready immediately.

4. Choose the editor entry point

After setup, decide where editors should work:

• Hosted admin: send them to app.dyrected.com
• Embedded admin: run your site and use the dashboard at yourwebsite.com/admin

Hosted Admin vs. Embedded Admin

Both options can use the same Cloud backend.

Hosted Admin

• Editors log in at app.dyrected.com
• Admin updates are automatic
• Best for the fastest setup and lowest maintenance

Embedded Admin

• Editors log in inside your app, usually at /admin
• Admin updates ship when you update packages and deploy your app
• Best for white-label client handoff and custom in-app workflows

If you want the admin on the client's domain, use embedded admin. If you want Dyrected to handle admin updates, use hosted admin.
