Takosophy

Full control. A real server, a real runtime — what runs locally runs in production.

Unapologetically opinionated. No config rabbit holes — Tako picks the defaults so you can ship.

Built for the impatient. Every step is optimized to get your code live fast.

Three commands and you're live

  1. tako init

    Detect runtime, create config

  2. tako dev

    Develop locally with HTTPS

  3. tako deploy

    Build, upload, rolling update

What's inside — each usually needs its own tool

Reverse proxy Pingora-based with sensible defaults, zero config needed Automatic TLS Let's Encrypt with wildcard support, auto-renewed Health-based routing Unhealthy instances get pulled from rotation automatically Scale to zero and back Idle apps sleep, the next request wakes them Static files Drop files in public/ — Tako serves them directly Build locally, deploy anywhere No CI required — build and deploy with a single command Rolling deploys New instances first, traffic shifts after health checks Instant rollback Previous version stays ready, one command to revert Environments & servers Group servers by environment, deploy to the right one Bun, Node, Go — you name it Runtimes detected and managed automatically Runtime on autopilot Runtimes and package managers pinned and managed for you Presets Framework-aware defaults for Next.js, TanStack Start, and more Local DNS Each app gets a real domain automatically — no ports to remember .local domains Access any app from your phone, TV, or any device on your network Wildcard routing Subdomains for every app and branch, resolved automatically Always-on dev Never stop a server — idle apps cost nothing, wake when you need them Agent-friendly Each worktree gets its own URL Logs Stream live or pull recent history across all servers Secrets Encrypted everywhere, even locally — no plain text files for agents to leak Inspect & monitor Running instances, deploy history, all at a glance Durable channels new Real-time out of the box Durable workflows new Long-running tasks that survive restarts
