Build Secure Multi-Tenant SaaS Applications Faster

Managing tenant data isolation, scalability, and security in B2B applications is complex and time-consuming. You're stuck writing custom code for tenant management, struggling with database scaling, and worrying about cross-tenant data leakage. What should be business logic becomes infrastructure headaches.

What is Nile

Nile is serverless Postgres re-engineered specifically for B2B SaaS applications, with built-in tenant virtualization that eliminates the complexities of multi-tenancy. It provides native tenant data isolation, user management, and performance separation without custom code or complex permissions. By handling tenant infrastructure automatically, Nile lets you launch secure, scalable multi-tenant applications in days rather than months.

Key Capabilities

Built-in Tenant Virtualization : Eliminate cross-tenant access concerns with 100% secure native tenant data isolation, removing the need for complex row-level security implementations.

Drop-in User Management : Accelerate development with pre-built tenant-level authentication, supporting organizations, user invites, social logins, and enterprise authentication.

Global Tenant Placement : Improve performance and meet compliance requirements by placing tenant databases anywhere globally while maintaining the simplicity of a single database.

Tenant-Specific Backups : Restore data for specific customers instantly without complex scripts, ensuring rapid recovery and better customer service during incidents.

Tenant-Aware Vector Embeddings : Deploy AI capabilities seamlessly with secure, tenant-specific vector embeddings that scale to millions of entries per tenant without additional configuration.

Perfect For

A SaaS startup used Nile to build their customer analytics platform. Rather than spending weeks implementing tenant isolation with complex RLS, they leveraged Nile's built-in tenant virtualization to launch in days, securing a major enterprise client that required strict data separation.

An established software company migrated their B2B platform to Nile when faced with scaling challenges. By using Nile's global tenant placement, they reduced latency for international customers by 75% while maintaining a single database experience for their engineering team.

Worth Considering

Nile is in public preview as of 2024, so while it offers powerful tenant isolation and management features, it may not yet have the ecosystem maturity of traditional PostgreSQL deployments. The platform is best suited for new B2B SaaS applications or those specifically refactoring for multi-tenancy. Pricing is Freemium with a generous free tier supporting up to 100 tenants, unlimited users, and 10GB of storage per workspace.

Also Consider

Supabase: Better choice for B2C applications that need a full backend-as-a-service with authentication, storage, and real-time features.

CockroachDB: Consider when global distribution and horizontal scaling are more important than specific multi-tenant features.

Citus (Azure): Ideal for existing Postgres users wanting multi-tenant capabilities within the Microsoft ecosystem with strong enterprise support.

Bottom Line

Nile reimagines Postgres for the multi-tenant era, solving the complex challenges of building secure, scalable B2B applications. If you're developing a SaaS product where tenant isolation and management are critical, Nile can dramatically accelerate your time-to-market while providing the security and scalability foundations your business needs to grow.
