Kind: Postgres backend-as-a-service · License: Open source · Last verified: 2026-10-05

A Postgres backend platform with Auth, Storage, Realtime, Edge Functions, and generated data APIs. Use its managed service or self-host the open-source components; browser data access needs deliberate grants and Row Level Security policies.

Reach for it when:
- MVPs that need auth + a real relational database
- Static frontends talking straight to a backend

Worth knowing: Enable and test RLS for tables exposed through the Data API. Secret and legacy service_role keys bypass RLS and belong only on trusted servers; self-hosting makes upgrades, backups, and availability your responsibility.
