Built for production

Everything you need to build, deploy, and manage production SaaS backends and customizable frontends on your own AWS infrastructure.

Visual Workflow Builder

Visual Editor

Build your backend logic visually using the workflow paradigm you already know. Migrate existing n8n workflows or start fresh with Codera's editor.

  • Drag-and-drop workflow design
  • 44+ supported node types
  • Import from n8n JSON
  • Expression editor with autocomplete

Data Models & Resources

Define DynamoDB tables and S3 buckets as managed resources. Codera deploys them to your AWS account with proper IAM scoping.

  • DynamoDB tables
  • S3 buckets
  • Auto-generated CRUD APIs
  • IAM-scoped access

Workflow Code Node

Write custom JavaScript logic in a sandboxed VM when the standard nodes aren't enough. Full access to execution context and upstream data.

  • Sandboxed V8 execution
  • Full data access
  • npm package support
  • Async/await support

Backend Modules

Prebuilt Modules

Codera ships ready-to-deploy backend modules that add production capabilities to any project. User Management provides Cognito-backed signup, login, password flows, and session handling. Stripe Payments adds subscription billing, checkout, webhooks, and customer portal access.

  • User management (Cognito)
  • Stripe payments & billing
  • One-click enable per project
  • Shared API Gateway with auth

Custom Backend Modules

Write your own backend modules in the language you know. Create a GitHub repo from a starter template, define handlers in a codera-module.yaml manifest, and push. Codera validates, builds via CodeBuild, and deploys your handlers as Lambda functions on the project's shared gateway.

  • Node.js 20 / Python 3.12 / .NET 8
  • GitHub repo with starter templates
  • CodeBuild CI/CD pipeline
  • Push-to-deploy via webhook

Module Infrastructure

Every module — prebuilt or custom — gets managed infrastructure. Codera handles the API Gateway, Lambda functions, IAM roles, and optional managed resources. Custom domains route traffic to your module's gateway.

  • Dedicated Lambda per handler
  • Managed DynamoDB & S3 resources
  • Custom domain mapping
  • Config updates without redeploy

Customizable Frontend Portals

Custom Portal (GitHub-Backed)

Deploy your own React frontend as a portal. Codera manages the GitHub repo, CodeBuild pipeline, and CloudFront distribution.

  • GitHub repo integration
  • CodeBuild CI/CD
  • CloudFront hosting
  • Branch selection & rebuild

Authenticated Portals

Add Cognito authentication to form portals for user-specific experiences. Password-protected, time-gated, or fully authenticated access.

  • Cognito user pools
  • Password protection
  • Time-gated access
  • Session management

Public Form Portals

Deploy branded form portals that collect submissions and trigger workflows. Custom domains, CSS theming, and rate limiting included.

  • 12 field types
  • Multi-page wizard flows
  • Custom domains
  • Bot detection & rate limiting

AWS-Native Deployment

Automated SAM Conversion

Each workflow node becomes a dedicated Lambda function with SQS queues for event routing — all provisioned via CloudFormation in your account.

  • One Lambda per node
  • SQS event routing
  • CloudFormation managed
  • Rollback on failure

Cross-Account Architecture

Codera's control plane orchestrates deployments via a cross-account IAM role. Your data and credentials never leave your AWS account.

  • Least-privilege IAM
  • One-click role setup
  • Data stays in your account
  • Revoke access anytime

Lambda Warming

Keep critical functions warm to eliminate cold start latency. Available on Professional and above.

  • Configurable per workflow
  • Zero cold starts
  • EventBridge-driven
  • Professional & above

Credential & Secret Management

AWS Secrets Manager Integration

Every credential is stored in AWS Secrets Manager in your account. Codera stores only the ARN reference — never the actual secret values.

  • 8 credential types
  • ARN-only references
  • Connectivity testing
  • Per-workflow scoping

Enterprise Encryption

AWS-managed encryption by default with optional per-organization KMS envelope encryption and customer-managed keys.

  • KMS envelope encryption
  • Customer-managed keys
  • Payload encryption
  • HMAC webhook verification

Data Sovereignty

Your business data never leaves your AWS account. The control plane processes only execution metadata via HMAC-signed events.

  • Data stays in your account
  • Metadata-only telemetry
  • HIPAA-ready architecture
  • GDPR compliant

Agency & Team Features

Sub-Organizations

Agencies create sub-organizations for each client. Independent projects, separate AWS accounts, centralized billing.

  • Per-client isolation
  • Multi-AWS-account deploy
  • Centralized billing
  • Agency-tier feature

Role-Based Access Control

Invite team members with scoped permissions. Organization owners, admins, and members with appropriate access levels.

  • Org-level roles
  • Team invitations
  • Permission scoping
  • Audit trail per action

Billing & Plan Management

Stripe-powered billing with plan tiers driving feature flags and quotas. Upgrade, downgrade, and manage subscriptions from the dashboard.

  • Stripe integration
  • Plan-driven features
  • Quota enforcement
  • Coupon support

Monitoring & Audit

Real-Time Execution Dashboard

Watch executions flow through your workflow nodes in real time via WebSocket. See status, timing, and output for every step.

  • WebSocket live updates
  • Step-by-step visibility
  • Execution timeline
  • Error pinpointing

Telemetry Bridge

Secure, HMAC-signed metadata events flow from your Lambdas to the Codera dashboard. No payload data crosses the account boundary.

  • HMAC-SHA256 signed
  • Timestamp validation
  • Metadata only
  • Org-validated writes

Audit Trail

Complete audit logging with actor type, organization, action, and date filters. Combined with AWS CloudTrail for full infrastructure visibility.

  • Actor tracking
  • Filterable logs
  • CloudTrail integration
  • Compliance-ready
