Use cases

What people build on their own backend.

Da8a is a general-purpose, Supabase-compatible backend. These are the kinds of projects it’s designed for.

SaaS backends

Give your product a full backend on a server of its own: Postgres for your data, Auth for your customers, Row Level Security to keep each account’s rows apart, and Storage for their files.

  • Multi-tenant data separated with RLS policies
  • Email, magic link, Google, GitHub and SAML sign-in
  • Edge functions for webhooks and billing events

Internal tools

Stand up the database behind an admin panel, dashboard or ops tool, and edit data directly in the Table editor while the UI catches up.

  • Table and SQL editors for the team
  • SAML single sign-on for company accounts
  • Data stays on a server dedicated to you

Mobile apps

Use supabase-js from React Native or the web, with phone sign-in, file uploads and live updates.

  • Phone and magic-link sign-in
  • Storage for photos and uploads
  • Realtime updates when data changes

AI apps with pgvector

Store embeddings next to the rows they describe and run similarity search in SQL, with secrets for model API keys kept in edge functions.

  • pgvector in the same Postgres database
  • Edge functions call model APIs with write-only secrets
  • RLS limits search results to what each user may see

Agencies hosting client backends

Give each client their own project on their own server, linked to their Chapong site, with one flat price per server that’s easy to pass on.

  • One dedicated server per client project
  • Credentials visible only to people with permission
  • “Used by” shows which sites and apps use each backend

Data-residency workloads

When you need to know where data lives, a dedicated server in a named region is easier to reason about than a shared multi-tenant cluster.

  • Data on one server in a known region
  • Nightly backups and point-in-time recovery
  • An assistant that never runs a change without your approval

Running regulated workloads? A dedicated server in a named region helps with data residency, but it isn’t a compliance certification. Check your own requirements and read our security overview.
