Dating & matching apps

The backend for dating apps.

A dating app needs profiles and matching, real-time chat, trust-and-safety moderation, push, presence, and monetization (subscriptions and boosts). Amba provides chat with read receipts, a moderation queue, push, segments, an in-app economy for boosts, and subscriptions — the social and safety layer in one backend.

There is no console to click through: an AI coding agent provisions Amba over its hosted MCP server and wires the SDK straight into your codebase. Dating apps are matching engines wrapped in messaging and trust-and-safety, monetized by subscriptions and consumable boosts. Amba covers the conversation, moderation, economy, and notification surfaces; you own the matching logic and store profiles in typed collections. What is an agent-native backend?
