Choose by job
| Need | Spala fit | Verify first |
|---|---|---|
| The app has product intent, screens, or a generated frontend but lacks a backend contract. | Strong fit when database, auth, REST APIs, validation, docs, frontend handoff, and publish review need to become explicit. | Route behavior, auth boundaries, validation errors, CORS, publish state, and frontend integration details. |
| A coding agent must connect or maintain the backend. | Strong fit when the agent needs public discovery plus authenticated project-scoped MCP workflow. | OAuth, project selection, returned project MCP URL, permissions, and validation before publish. |
| The buyer needs mature-platform procurement proof before any proof of concept. | Use Spala carefully: run a small proof of concept first and verify production requirements directly. | auth, CORS, validation, publish state, pricing, security, support. |
