Nile CEO here. We do offer serverless Postgres but that is where the similarity ends.
We’re the first database that virtualizes tenants into the database. This enables seamless tenant isolation, per-tenant backups, and placement on multi-tenant or dedicated infrastructure anywhere on the planet. You can do all this with the experience of a single Postgres.
Here are some examples that can help you to understand the type of use cases. Most applications are multi-tenant and this is what we help with.
1. GitHub helps a group of developers manage and deploy their code. Each Github organization is a tenant, and the developers within those organizations are users.
2. Salesforce or Hubspot helps sales reps manage their leads. Each company is a tenant, and the users are the sales reps.
3. Ring is a home security company that provides alarm services to different households. Each household is a tenant, and people living in a house using their service are users.
4. Toast is a platform to help build software for restaurants. The restaurants are tenants, and the employees of the restaurants are the users.
Happy to chat more. My email is ram@thenile.dev
- kjfdslakj 3y agoDon't take this the wrong way, because I think serverless postgres is a major achievement. But would you say multitenant means use Nile, and for everything else, use neon?
- infra_dev 3y agoIf you are building a static website (usually your website) or building a social networking product like Facebook, I would not recommend Nile. We recommend Nile for any usecase where you are serving multiple groups of users. In our experience, 95% of applications in the market today seem to fall into this category.
