## Description

This project provides an integrated backend platform built around a relational database. It automatically generates REST and GraphQL APIs from database schemas, allowing for direct data interaction through standard requests and client libraries. The platform includes a comprehensive authentication system that manages user identity, session handling, and fine-grained access control through database-native row-level security policies.

Beyond core data management, the platform offers specialized services for object storage, vector data processing for semantic search, and real-time communication features like broadcast messaging and database change subscriptions. It also supports server-side logic execution through globally distributed edge functions, database-resident functions, and a native job scheduler for automated tasks.

Developers can manage the entire project lifecycle using a command-line interface and containerized local development environments. The platform supports both managed cloud services and self-hosted deployments, providing options for infrastructure control and data sovereignty.
