Installation GuideInstruction Manual

What it contains

Postgres development platform combining database, auth, REST/GraphQL APIs, realtime, storage, functions, vector/AI tooling, dashboard, and clients.

Typical uses

Use hosted/self-host/local backend primitives for web/mobile apps that need relational data plus common backend services.

Why people choose it

Inference: avoids assembling database, auth, storage, realtime, and admin tooling from unrelated services while retaining Postgres.
