Hey PH! 👋

I’m Ravikant, the solo founder behind Nuvix.

I spent the last year building Nuvix because I was tired of the "BaaS Wall." You know the one: you start a project with a popular BaaS because it’s fast, but as soon as you need complex schemas, custom permissions, or high-scale performance, the tool starts fighting you.

I wanted to build a platform that gives you the "Speed of Firebase" with the "Power of AWS/Postgres."

🚩 The Problem

Modern apps are data-hungry and AI-driven, yet we’re still "gluing" backends together. Stitching together databases, auth layers, and storage buckets usually leads to a fragmented DX and scaling headaches.

🛠️ What is Nuvix?

I built Nuvix from the ground up to be a unified, high-performance engine:

  • ⚡ Engineered for Scale: Not just for prototypes. We handle real-world workloads with native caching and real-time triggers.

  • 🧩 The Triple-Schema System: Whether you need a flexible Document store, a Managed DDL-triggered setup, or raw Unmanaged Postgres power - we support all three.

  • 🔐 Security First: Fine-grained permissions are baked into the data layer (supporting Cookies, API Keys, and JWT) so you don't have to "bolt on" security later.

  • 📦 Total Control: Self-host it today to keep your data in your environment, or wait for our managed cloud version coming soon.

  • 🗣️ NuvQL: A custom URL-based query language designed to make complex data fetching feel like a breeze.

Nuvix is a labor of love by a solo dev, and your feedback is my North Star right now. I’d love to know:

  1. What is the #1 thing that makes you "rage quit" your current backend provider?

  2. What feature would make you move your next production project to Nuvix?

Thanks for joining me on this journey! 🙏
