Nile is a Postgres platform re-engineered for multi-tenant B2B applications, decoupling storage from compute and virtualizing tenants within a single database. It includes built-in B2B authentication, tenant-level isolation, global tenant placement, and a scalable vector database with AI toolkit for RAG workloads.

Use cases

• build a multi-tenant SaaS application on Postgres
• isolate customer data per tenant without RLS
• store vector embeddings alongside customer data for RAG
• run B2B authentication with tenant-scoped users
• place tenants in different regions for compliance or latency
• scale a Postgres database to millions of tenants
• avoid managing one database per customer

When to choose

• you are building a B2B SaaS app with many tenants and want built-in tenant isolation
• you need vector search and customer data in one database
• you want tenant-level backups, branching, and insights without custom tooling
• you need per-tenant compute placement or regional routing

When to avoid

• you need a fully mature, generally available database for critical workloads (it is in public preview)
• your app is single-tenant with no multi-tenancy needs
• you require on-prem deployment or features still marked 'coming soon' like branching and backups
• you are locked into another managed Postgres provider
