A Postgres platform to ship multi-tenant AI applications - fast, safe and limitless

---

Nile

Nile is a Postgres platform that decouples storage from compute, virtualizes tenants, and supports vertical and horizontal scaling globally to ship AI-native B2B applications fast while being safe with limitless scale. All B2B applications are multi-tenant. A tenant/customer is primarily a company, an organization, or a workspace in your product that contains a group of users. A B2B application provides services to multiple tenants. Tenant is the basic building block of all B2B applications.

Features

• Unlimited Postgres databases, Unlimited virtual tenant databases
• Secure isolation for customer's data and embeddings
• Customer-specific vector embeddings at 10x lower cost
• Autoscale to millions of tenants and billions of embeddings
• Place tenants on serverless or provisioned compute - globally
• Tenant-level branching, backups, schema migration, and insights

niledatabase's Issues

typo - doc path not matching code example path in auth guide docs

Super minor - but figured I'd create an issue anyways so it can be fixed.

It should only be "ui", not "uid" in the path.

the example implementation seems to set the userId and tenantId on a singleton

in the nodejs/react example the nile server is instantiated in the index.ts file (

niledatabase/examples/quickstart/node_react/src/be/app.ts

Line 8 in 4b2c07f

export const nile = Server({

)

and then in the middleware the following properties are set:

niledatabase/examples/quickstart/node_react/src/be/app.ts

Line 37 in 4b2c07f

nile.token = getUserToken(req.cookies);

  nile.token = getUserToken(req.cookies);
  nile.userId = getUserId(req.cookies);

these values are used in other handlers. this looks like it is introducing a race condition where a next request can overwrite the values before the current request is fully handled? wouldn't it be better to pass the userid and token with the requestcontext?

Are there any plans on Open Sourcing Database?

I just want to know if the Database is closed source and only offers cloud subscription or will it open source at some point in future?

circular link in auth guide docs

This is minor. At the bottom of the auth guide for next.js , there is a link called "Query as a User with Next.js" under the "Next Up:" header. Clicking on this just redirects to the exact same guide url (https://www.thenile.dev/docs/user-authentication/email-login/nextjs) - and brings the scroll to the top since the page is re-rendered. This creates a circular navigation experience, and could be misleading for new users.

I'd suggest either removing this link, or updating to a different "next step" guide for querying users, if one exists.

Onboarding fail with 404

When starting for the first time the user-journey is great, but it ended for me at least, in a 404 page.

Of course is not a big deal because you can just reload the console and all was correctly created.
