Sorry to hear that. We understand each one will have a different set of problems. From our experience and talking to others, it is usually not as simple as adding a tenant_id column. You typically care about security from day one and want t

Yes, that is correct. In Nile, users are shared tables. They can belong to multiple tenants. In the case of the Github example, the organization is a tenant and users will be a shared table. Nile provides this out of the box. Will fix the u

If 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 experien

Sorry to hear your problems. We would be a great fit for your use case. We are serverless and support spiky workloads. You can map your clients to tenants in Nile. Let us know if anything changes on your side in the future. I would love to

Great question. Nile supports shared tables for this purpose. Shared tables are regular tables that can be shared across all the tenants in another table. We have example use cases and how this works in Nile here https://www.then

Agree. We will prioritize how to migrate from Nile. At the Postgres level we don't want any lock-ins. We would have APIs that simply SaaS workflows that users may choose to use.

We are going to support a database in the same server initially but could also provide dedicated server in the future. The nice thing about Nile's design is that we can provide different placements for different cost profiles with the

Currently, we support only AWS but do want to support other cloud providers. Technically, you can even have one DB that spans across cloud providers with your tenants, but we have not yet seen many use cases for multi-cloud. W.r.t replicati

We do plan to support a bunch of extensions soon. We do support pg_vector at this point. Would love to know if you have any favorite ones. Also, could you share the use case for listen/notify? We currently do not support it but have pl

I do also want to mention that we don't fork Postgres. We have built tooling around Postgres using extensions and gateway layers on top of it.

Nile CEO here. Here are a few use cases that can help you. We believe SaaS is 95% of new companies today and it is very broadly applicable. Happy to chat further if interested 1. GitHub helps a group of developers manage and deploy their co

Nile lets you do this without incurring the operational complexity of managing multiple databases. We let you place the virtual tenant DB either on one multitenant Postgres DB or a dedicated Postgres. So, you can actually create a dedicated

Nile CEO here. You can place tenants on multitenant DB or a dedicated Postgres DB. Placing the tenants on multitenant DB is the default. This has no cold start time since the instance/container is shared. If you choose to place a tenan

Nile CEO here. I agree, and I am with you. I can vouch that this is not done with any malicious intent. We were not ready for HN yet but here we are. Our goal was to work with initial users to really polish the product before we open it up

Nile CEO here. Nile will promise to make the experience of moving out of Nile really easy. This is one our core product principles. We want users to stay for the value we provide. Nile user permissions are optional. You can decide to use an

Nile CEO here. There are many approaches to doing multitenancy. - You can create one physical DB per tenant - You can place multiple tenants on the same DB Both approaches have pros and cons. This is exactly what Nile is solving. We want u
