Best forTeams that want a full Postgres database plus auth, storage, realtime and APIs from a single platform; Startups standardising on managed Postgres instead of stitching together separate backend services; Engineering teams shipping AI and LLM apps that need vector storage plus MCP-aware tooling; Companies migrating off Firebase, MongoDB or self-managed Postgres such as AWS RDSTeams that need to build internal apps and workflows without engineering help; Ops, marketing and product teams unifying data spread across many tools; Enterprises that require governance: SSO, RBAC, audit logs and data residency; Organizations deploying AI agents over structured business records
Not forOrganisations that require FedRAMP authorisation or fully sovereign air-gapped hosting; Non-technical business teams looking for a no-code application builder; Warehouse-first analytics programmes centred on Snowflake or BigQuery rather than an operational database; Teams unwilling to own Row Level Security policy design across their application surfaceTeams that need a full SQL warehouse or heavy analytical query engine; Buyers requiring on-premises or self-hosted deployment; Very small teams with no appetite for configuration or base design; Regulated workloads that require FedRAMP authorization
