What it solves

Nile addresses the complexity of building and scaling B2B multi-tenant applications. It removes the need for manually managing separate databases or complex partitioning schemes for different customers (tenants), allowing developers to scale to millions of tenants and billions of vector embeddings without sacrificing security or performance.

How it works

Nile provides a re-engineered Postgres platform that decouples storage from compute. It introduces "tenant virtualization," which allows the platform to handle the isolation and scaling of customer data automatically. It includes a built-in AI toolkit and a vector database to support AI-driven features within the same environment where tenant data is stored.

Who it’s for

Developers building B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications that require secure data isolation for multiple customers and need to scale their database infrastructure globally.

Highlights

• Multi-tenant Postgres: Unlimited virtual tenant databases with secure isolation for customer data.
• AI Integration: Integrated vector database and AI toolkit for customer-specific embeddings at a lower cost.
• Global Scaling: Supports both serverless and provisioned compute options globally.
• B2B Auth: Includes a drop-in authentication system that keeps customer data within the Postgres environment.
• Tenant Management: Built-in tools for tenant-level branching, backups, and schema migrations.
