Know what's in the toolbox

Postgres backend-as-a-service

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.

Relational SQL database

A mature, standards-compliant relational database with strong JSON support and a large extension ecosystem, including PostGIS for geospatial data and pgvector for embeddings.

In-memory key-value store

An in-memory data structure store used as a cache, session store, rate limiter, queue, and pub/sub broker. Responses are typically sub-millisecond because data lives in RAM.

TypeScript ORM

Define your schema in one file and Prisma generates a fully typed client plus migrations. A renamed column becomes a compile error instead of a runtime failure.

TypeScript SQL query builder

A lightweight ORM whose query API mirrors SQL, with schemas written in TypeScript. Small runtime footprint and a good fit for serverless and edge environments.

Vector search engine

An open-source vector database written in Rust, with payload filtering alongside similarity search. Self-host it or use the managed cloud.

Embedded analytical database

A columnar SQL engine that runs in-process, like SQLite but built for analytics. Queries CSV and Parquet files directly and handles large local datasets quickly.

TypeScript auth library

A TypeScript authentication library with email/password, social sign-in, sessions, database adapters, and plugins for organizations, two-factor auth, and passkeys. In database-backed deployments, its auth tables live in the database you configure.

Authentication server and Supabase service

Authentication with client SDKs, password and social sign-in, magic links, and JWT sessions. User records live in a Postgres auth schema; tokens integrate with Supabase's Data API and Row Level Security policies.

Python SQL toolkit and ORM

Python's standard database toolkit: a Core layer for composing SQL and an ORM for mapping classes to tables. Works with Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, and more, with sync and async APIs.

Database migrations for SQLAlchemy

Versioned schema migrations for SQLAlchemy projects. It can autogenerate a migration by diffing your models against the database, which you then review and commit.

Python data validation

Validates and parses data using Python type hints. FastAPI uses it for request and response models; version 2's core is written in Rust for speed.

CRDT library for shared data

Represents shared documents as CRDTs, so edits from any number of clients merge automatically without conflicts or a central lock. Providers sync it over WebSockets, WebRTC, or IndexedDB for offline use.

Collaboration server for Yjs

A WebSocket server for Yjs documents from the Tiptap team. Extensions handle authentication, persistence to your database, Redis fan-out across instances, and webhooks.
