About Kitbash
Summary
Kitbash builds Lark, a realtime database for web apps, games, and mobile applications that need state synced across large numbers of concurrent users. It targets developers who rely on Firebase Realtime Database, replacing it with a drop-in compatible alternative that requires changing a single config variable. Teams can run Lark on Kitbash's cloud hosting or self-host the open-source version.
Business model
A free trial tier plus cloud hosting plans, with a self-hostable open-source version available.
Go-to-market
Developers adopt Lark self-serve, either by signing up for a free cloud trial or pulling the open-source repo, with Firebase RTDB drop-in compatibility lowering the switching cost for existing projects.
