Auth. Database. Storage. Messaging. One platform. Self-host anywhere.
Building a modern app means stitching together auth providers, databases, file storage, and messaging services. That's 4+ vendors, 4+ dashboards, and 4+ billing pages before you write a single line of product code.
Nuvix replaces all of that. One backend. One API. One permission model. Fully self-hostable.
Whether you're building an AI-powered SaaS, a mobile app, or an internal tool, Nuvix gives you the secure infrastructure to ship fast and scale without limits.
Multi-tenant auth with user accounts, sessions, teams, and role-based access. Security is not an afterthought; it's built into every layer. Managed schemas auto-generate Row-Level Security policies so your data is locked down from day one.
PostgreSQL-powered. Pick the right model for each use case:
| Schema | Best For | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Document | Rapid prototyping, MVPs | NoSQL-style flexibility, zero SQL needed |
| Managed | Production apps at scale | Auto-generated CRUD policies, RLS, permission tables |
| Unmanaged | Full control, custom logic | Raw SQL, your tables, your views, no restrictions |
Mix and match across a single project. All schemas share one unified API.
Build AI applications with confidence. Nuvix provides the secure data layer, auth, and storage that AI-powered products need. Store embeddings, manage user sessions, handle file uploads for ML pipelines, and enforce granular permissions on every request.
Permission-aware file system with S3-compatible drivers or local storage. Upload, serve, and manage files with the same permission rules as your database.
Email, SMS, and push notifications through a single API. Built-in templates and provider integrations so you're not wiring up Sendgrid, Twilio, and Firebase separately.

Nuvix is designed with a zero-trust permission model:
- Every request passes through permission checks across database, storage, and messaging
- Managed schemas auto-generate Row-Level Security policies, so you don't need to write them by hand
- Project isolation keeps tenant data separated at the database level
- Self-hosted means your data never leaves your infrastructure
You don't "enable" security in Nuvix. It's the default.
