Butterbase gives you the building blocks for AI-driven applications without lock-in: a Postgres-backed backend with row-level security, serverless functions, an LLM gateway, realtime subscriptions, key-value store, file storage, RAG, durable per-key actors, and a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so agents can operate your backend with tools instead of glue code.

Features

Data

• Postgres data plane — per-app databases with declarative schema (/schema), automatic REST endpoints (/auto-api), and migrations.
• Row-Level Security — first-class RLS policy management with user-isolation helpers (/rls).
• Key-Value store — regional, quota-protected KV with TTL, audit trail, and dashboard expose rules (/v1/:app/kv/). New in v0.2.0.*
• File storage — S3/R2-backed object storage with presigned URLs, ACLs, and async indexing (/storage).

Compute

• Serverless functions — TypeScript functions executed on the Deno runtime (/functions).
• Durable Objects — stateful per-key actors for chat rooms, multiplayer, rate limiters, long-running agents (/durable-objects).
• Realtime — WebSocket subscriptions to table changes for live UIs and presence (/realtime).
• Edge SSR — deploy Next.js / Remix / Astro edge handlers from source (/edge-ssr, /edge-ssr-from-source).
• Frontend hosting — zip or build-from-source static / SPA deploys with custom domains (/frontend, /custom-domains).
