An autonomous ecosystem for software
Loisium is the one place for the software you made. It goes online here, everything it needs is built in, and Lois, the engineer inside, looks after it day and night.
How it works
This is Loisium. Walk through it.
https://your-software.loisium.liveCopy
1 / 7 Upload a folder. It is online.
Loisium reads your code, works out how to run it, and gives it an address with https. If it needs a database, one is made for it.
- Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, Java, C# and more
- A website and its backend in one upload
- Your .env file is never kept with the code
- A new upload is tried on a copy of your data before it goes live
2 / 7 Your code opens here, like in an editor.
Every file, with a line saying what it does. Start typing and a draft is made for you. Your live app is not touched.
- Saved as you type. Open a file, search the code
- Lois checks your change after you save
- Click any part of your app in the Preview to see the line of code that draws it
- Every version is kept. Any of them can be put back, read or downloaded
3 / 7 Nobody sees a new version before you do.
It runs first on a copy of your real data. Nothing leaves it: no email is sent, no payment is taken.
- Lois goes through it first: opens the pages and fills in the forms, on both versions
- What changed is outlined, the live version beside the new one
- Lois asks you only when it is yours to decide: if something of your data would be lost
- Go live when you say so. The version before is kept
4 / 7 A database of its own. Backups that were tried.
If your code asks for a database, one is made for it: Postgres, MySQL or Redis. Nobody has to set it up, and only this app can reach it.
- Your data in a table: change a value, add a row, undo
- A spreadsheet or CSV file in, the whole table out as a spreadsheet
- Each backup is put back on a spare disk, to check it really works
- Every change made here is kept in the app's history, with who made it
5 / 7 Public or private. You say who may do what.
Open your software to everyone, or put a sign-in in front of it and name the people. People sign in with Google, using the account they already have. Nothing is added to your code.
- Viewer. Can look. Cannot change anything
- Editor. Can look and change
- Admin. Can also add and remove people
- Everyone else is turned away at the door
6 / 7 See who came, and what went wrong.
Loisium measures visits to your software for you: never a name, never anything anyone types, never shared. Nothing to install.
- People, who came back, pages opened, where they came from, in graphs
- Logs kept across restarts, and you can search them
- Problems first: how many times, and since which version
- Passwords, keys and card numbers are hidden before anything is kept
7 / 7 Its packages and its keys, looked after.
Software is built from other people's packages, and some turn out to have holes. Lois checks every live app again every day.
- Known holes are named, package by package
- Known malware keeps a version from going live
- Loisium reads your code and tells you which settings it asks for
- A key can be made write-only: nobody can read it back, not you and not Loisium
The problem today
Writing software got easy. Running it did not.
AI tools let anybody make software now. Keeping it online is still a job for an engineer.
Today Many separate tools: one to host it, one for the database, one for logins, others for backups, logs and visitors.
With Loisium One place. Hosting, a database, logins, backups, logs and visitors are built in.
Today Each has its own sign-in, its own bill and its own way of working.
With Loisium One sign-in, and one place to look.
Today They are made for engineers. The words alone stop most people.
With Loisium Plain words. Loisium reads your code and sets it up itself.
Today Adding logins and who-can-do-what means changing your code.
With Loisium You say who may do what on a screen. Your code is not touched.
Today When it breaks at night, nobody is looking, and you find out from a user.
With Loisium Lois checks it every minute, day and night. When it stops Lois starts it again and tells you what was done.
Today A new version goes straight to your users, and you hope.
With Loisium You see it first, on a copy of your real data.
The big companies have their clouds. Smaller software has Loisium.
Large software Big companies run on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with a team of engineers to run them.
Your software Smaller software has Loisium: the same kinds of things, in one simple place, with its engineer already inside.
Large software Built for teams of engineers.
Your software Built for the person who made the software.
Large software You choose, connect and watch many services yourself.
Your software You upload it. The rest is already there.
Large software Your own engineers look after it.
Your software Lois looks after it, day and night.
That engineer is Lois.
All of it is run by Lois, your AI engineer. With your software, day and night.
Lois is the engineer inside Loisium: learns what is normal for your software, sees what is coming, and deals with what breaks.
You do not have to watch it, and you do not have to be afraid of it.
Sees it coming.
Every hour Lois looks at where things are heading, and tells you before a limit is reached: what fills, by when, what your visitors would notice, and what can be done.
At this pace your software's database fills its room in about 9 days.Lois, under "What Lois sees coming"
Deals with what breaks.
Lois checks every minute. When your software stops, Lois finds out why, gives it what it needs and starts it again, then looks whether it stayed up.
It ran out of memory. Lois gave it 1 GB (it had 512 MB) and started it again.Lois, under "What Lois did"
Tells you plainly.
When you open Loisium, Lois says what happened while you were away, in a few lines, and asks you only for what only you can give.
Your app needs PAYMENT_SECRET_KEY. Only you have it — paste it here.Lois, when a setting is missing
And many more.
Small things you would not think to ask for, already there.
- Who did whatEvery change to your software, who made it and when. Nobody, Loisium included, can change or remove a line. Complete — nothing changed or removed.
- Any version, backEvery version of your code is kept. Any of them can be put back.Live Version 4
- It rests when nobody uses itA free app nobody opens for a week goes to sleep. It wakes by itself when somebody comes.
- What Lois sees comingTold before a limit is reached: what fills, by when, and what can be done.At the pace of the last days, nothing reaches a limit within the week.
- Nobody at Loisium reads your data without asking you firstWe ask, you allow it for an hour or say no, and the look is written into your history.Allow for 1 hourDeny
- Deleted by mistake?For 5 days you can bring an app back exactly as it was.
Loisium is not finished, and it says so. Launching soon
Our team is building these right now, and they will be ready for you soon.
- Asking Lois Write to Lois and ask about your software. Today Lois tells you what happened, and cannot be asked yet.
- Your data in plain English Ask for your data in your own words and get the rows back, without writing a query.
- Your own domain Your software at an address of your own. Buy one inside Loisium or bring yours, and Loisium sets up everything behind it, the records and the padlock, with no other site to visit.
- Mail Mail addresses on your own domain, and the mail your software sends. Loisium sets it all up, with no separate mail service and nothing to copy by hand.
- A weekly report from Lois Once a week Lois writes to you with how your software did: who came, what Lois did, and what is coming.
- Jobs on a schedule A piece of your software that runs at set times, every night or every hour, with nothing else to rent.
- Building with your own AI Connect the AI tool you already build with, so it works on your software here: in a draft, with your Go live before anything changes.
- Being found For software that is open to everyone, Lois checks what search engines need to find it, and tells you what is missing.
- File storage Somewhere for the photos and PDFs your software keeps.
- A status page A page where your visitors can see whether your software is up.
- Team secrets Keys that belong to no single app, shared with the people you choose.
About the founders
The people now making software are mostly not engineers, and should not have to become one, or hire one, to keep what they made online.
The big clouds were built for people who understand infrastructure. Loisium is built so that anyone, technical or not, can put their software online and keep it running, without hiring an engineer.
Bring what you made. Free during the beta, one app each.
The beta runs on one server. If it is full when you arrive you join a waiting list, and we tell you why and what your place is.
Plans come later. We will tell you before anything changes.
