Own your whole stack.
Ship real SaaS. No lock-in.
Most "build-an-app" platforms rent you four vendors and call it yours. Tiger is the whole thing — the boring-but-essential SaaS substrate, already built and tested — running on your filesystem, under a license that keeps it yours.
The case for Tiger
You own your whole stack
BSD-3 open source. Your code, your database, your server — no relicensing surprises, no vendor that can change the terms out from under you.
Real SaaS, already built
Multi-tenancy, auth & 2FA, deny-by-default ACL, a CMS, a clean /api, billing — the substrate every app needs, shipped and tested. Build product, not plumbing.
AI-native by design
One clean architecture with conventions your AI can read and extend. Connect Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex over MCP and it builds on Tiger — no proprietary middleman.
Fast and cheap to run
~10ms page loads, single process, zero build toolchain. Runs on a $5 VPS, shared cPanel, or a load-balanced fleet — no four-vendor monthly bill to keep it alive.
No vendor lock-in
Portable PHP + MariaDB, nothing phoning home. TigerBackup is the whole migration story — dump, zip, move. Your app runs where you put it.
One framework, many paths
A website, a vibe-coded MVP, or enterprise software — all on the same Tiger. Grow from a single site to a multi-tenant platform without re-platforming.
