Introducing ONE: The Free, Lightning-Fast Platform for Everyone

Introducing ONE: The Free, Lightning-Fast Platform for Everyone

What if you could build an enterprise-grade application in 6 minutes for $0?

That was our challenge. The result? ONE Platform—a production-ready stack that delivers:

  • ⚡ Subsecond load times (< 330ms average)
  • 💯 Perfect Lighthouse scores (100/100 all metrics)
  • 🆓 Completely free (unlimited requests)
  • 🚀 Deploy in 6 minutes (from zero to production)
  • 🌍 Global edge network (330+ locations)
  • 🔐 Enterprise security (6 auth methods, 2FA, rate limiting)

No catch. No credit card. No compromises.

🤔 Why We Built ONE

The Problem

Modern web development is unnecessarily complex and expensive:

Traditional Stacks:

Next.js + Vercel:      $20-2000/month
Firebase:              $25-400/month
AWS Amplify:          $15-500/month
Custom Infrastructure: $100-5000/month

Setup Time:

MERN Stack:        2-3 hours (if you're lucky)
Laravel + MySQL:   3-4 hours
Django + Postgres: 2-3 hours
Microservices:     Days to weeks

Performance:

Average web app: 2-4 second load times
Mobile 3G:       5-10 second load times
Lighthouse:      60-80/100 (typical)

The Solution

ONE Platform flips the script:

Cost:         $0/month (free tier handles millions)
Setup:        6 minutes (fully automated)
Performance:  < 330ms (globally)
Lighthouse:   100/100 (perfect scores)

How? By combining the best modern technologies in a way that just works:

  • Astro 5 - Islands architecture (96% less JavaScript)
  • React 19 - Edge-compatible SSR
  • Convex - Real-time backend (scales automatically)
  • Cloudflare - Global edge network (330+ locations)
  • Better Auth - 6 authentication methods (pre-configured)
  • shadcn/ui - 50+ components (pre-installed)

⚡ Speed That Defies Belief

Real Numbers, Real Sites

Homepage:

Load Time:              < 330ms
Time to Interactive:    < 400ms
Largest Contentful Paint: < 450ms
Cumulative Layout Shift:  0 (perfect)

Dashboard (Logged In):

Session Check:   < 2ms
Data Load:       < 100ms (from edge)
Page Transition: < 50ms (client-side)

API Responses:

Query (cached):    < 10ms
Mutation (write):  < 100ms
Real-time update:  < 50ms (WebSocket)

Why It’s So Fast

1. Minimal JavaScript

Traditional React SPA: ~800KB
ONE Platform:          ~30KB
Reduction:             96%

Result: Instant page loads, even on slow networks.

2. Global Edge Rendering

User Location:  Nearest Edge
Tokyo →         Tokyo DC (28ms)
London →        London DC (31ms)
New York →      New York DC (30ms)

Result: Everyone gets the same blazing performance.

3. Smart Caching

Static HTML:      Edge cache (milliseconds)
Session Data:     Local cache (< 2ms)
API Responses:    Edge + Browser (< 50ms)

Result: Subsequent page loads feel instant.
