The moment it's no longer one person building but a whole organization, you need a control plane. Canvas gives you guardrails, a delivery cockpit and central user management — security steered, not hoped for. Your IT turns from the bottleneck into an enabler.
When dozens of employees write software in parallel and nobody checks what's being built, you get shadow IT with a logo: island solutions no one maintains, security left to chance, data in places nobody knows about. Canvas flips that around — everything visible, everything checked, everything auditable.
Canvas runs entirely in the browser. No one installs dependencies, packages or tools on a company laptop, and no one sets up local development environments. Code, data and tooling stay inside Canvas's isolated environment — not scattered across hundreds of endpoints.
One browser tab instead of days of setup: builders start immediately — and IT never has to secure endpoints for development.
You define guardrails directly on the platform — not in policy PDFs nobody reads. Which data sources can the AI use? Which standards apply? What must compliance meet? All of it is stored as a rule and checked automatically on every change.
Policy-as-code across three dimensions: quality (consistent coding standards) · scalability (architecture rules against time bombs and anti-patterns) · security (which data AI and builders may see, GDPR and compliance).
The AI that generates your code runs as an open model on our servers in Germany. No US provider sits in the processing chain. That takes the hardest questions off your legal and data-protection team.
Once a whole organization is building, you need the overview. The delivery cockpit shows every app, every builder and every status in one place — surfaces duplicate work before two teams build the same thing, and gives you break-glass access when it matters.
API keys, database credentials, tokens for third-party systems: these secrets live in a central vault — not in the code and not with the individual builder. Management creates them once and assigns them deliberately: to individual apps and repos, and repos in turn to employees. Everyone gets exactly the access they need — and nothing more.
How it works: management creates secrets in the vault → assigns them to apps & repos → repos belong to employees. Production and test environments stay strictly separated.
Your IT sets the guardrails once — and the whole builder team works safely within them, without waiting for approvals.
Single sign-on, bulk on-/offboarding, roles & rights. An employee leaves — one click, all access gone.
Every project runs isolated. No project can disturb another or see its data.
Budget limits per project or team. No surprises at the end of the month.
Every change, every policy, every access — traceable for auditors and data protection officers.
The code that's produced can be used 100% by you. Exportable at any time, deployable on your own servers. No exit fees, no hidden catch.
We'll show you the delivery cockpit, the guardrails and user management in 30 minutes — against your scenario.
