What is Fatleon? Why Fatleon?
A complete commerce system. Not another template.
Fatleon is a complete commerce system sold as source code. You get the storefront, checkout, orders, admin, and integrations all in one codebase — and deploy it directly on your own AWS account.
- One-time purchase. Full source code included.
- Self-hosted on your own AWS account.
- Your infrastructure. Your data. Your code.
The challenges of traditional platforms
When launching an online store, operators and agencies often navigate a difficult landscape of existing marketplace structures, closed ecosystems, and rigid architectures.
| Platform type | Core challenges and limitations |
|---|---|
| Traditional marketplaces | Inherently driven by price competition and comparison, making it difficult to build independent brand loyalty and profit margins. |
| Hosted SaaS platforms | Risk of unexpected policy shifts, ongoing platform commissions, and potential store suspension or data restriction issues. |
| Legacy open-source systems | Heavy reliance on complex plugin ecosystems, often resulting in performance bottlenecks and ongoing compatibility maintenance. A headless architecture is a better fit when you extend the store with your own app. A distributed backend is a better fit when the store serves customers worldwide. |
Why Fatleon?
Fatleon offers an alternative by returning greater control and modern cloud capabilities directly to your environment.
Data control and cost efficiency
Fatleon is designed to be self-hosted within your personal or corporate AWS environment.
Your data stays put
User profiles, order histories, and product catalogs remain entirely within your own setup.
About $10 a month
No platform subscription. Baseline hosting, database, and auth can start around $10 a month and rise with traffic.
Fewer update loops
Skip the plugin compatibility updates typical of older monolithic setups.
