Everything you can do with Mortarbase

The complete list — every capability, written as the result you get.

Build & data

  • Stand up a backend in a minute — database, auth, storage and APIs provisioned instantly.
  • Own a full, isolated Postgres database per project — not a shared slice.
  • Never hand-write CRUD APIs — they're auto-generated from your schema.
  • Design your data visually — create tables, columns, relationships and indexes from the dashboard.
  • Edit your data like a spreadsheet — or run any SQL, with saved snippets.
  • Evolve your schema safely — versioned migrations that roll back on failure.

Users & security

  • Add login in minutes — email/password, magic link, one-time codes and MFA.
  • Let users sign in with Google & Apple — the OAuth handshake is handled for you.
  • Keep tenants' data private by default — row-level security is on and deny-all out of the box.
  • One identity system — social and email users live together; your rules just work.
  • Manage users without code — search, invite, reset, and remove from the dashboard.

Files, functions & AI

  • Store and serve media at any scale — with signed URLs and per-user access rules.
  • Serve perfectly-sized images — automatic on-the-fly resizing and optimization.
  • Run server logic without servers — deploy edge functions in seconds; manage their secrets safely.
  • Add semantic search & AI — vector embeddings built into your database.
  • Schedule recurring jobs — run tasks on a timer, right in the database.

Ship & iterate ★ unique

  • Push fixes to phones in seconds — over-the-air Live Updates, no App Store review.
  • Undo a bad release instantly — one-click rollback to the previous version.
  • Ship safely — every update is cryptographically signed and verified on-device.
  • Match updates to the right build — runtime gating so a release never breaks an older app.

Operate with confidence

  • Sleep at night — automated backups with one-click restore.
  • Catch issues before users do — built-in security & performance advisors.
  • See what's happening — live logs, plus reports on usage, storage and growth.
  • Know who changed what — a full activity & audit trail.
  • Scale traffic smoothly — built-in connection pooling.

Team & freedom

  • Work as a team — invite members with roles and per-project access.
  • Move off Supabase in an afternoon — it's supabase-js-compatible; bring your schema, data, users and files.
  • No lock-in, ever — it's open Postgres and open protocols underneath.
  • Manage it all in one place — every tool above lives in a single dashboard.
