Librebase

Librebase

A PostgreSQL platform that stays small and honest.

Sign-in by default. Usual database connection, web interfaces, and live updates. Built for apps and for AI tools that query your data.

The engine is written in Li and compiles to machine code. We aim for about 64 MB of RAM and Postgres-level speed on common queries. The console shows real health.

Apps and agents need a database that keeps up.

Short sessions, many requests, sign-in on every call. Librebase is PostgreSQL-compatible and built for that load.

How it works

  1. Create a projectOne server per project, or several projects on one machine.
  2. ConnectPostgreSQL connection string, web interfaces, and sign-in from the first start.
  3. OperateRow-level access rules, SQL in the console, safe hooks for AI tools.

What works today

Common questions

How much memory are you targeting?

About 64 MB RAM for a lean dedicated instance, with speed close to managed Postgres on the same hardware. That is a target until published benches are green.

Is this a full replacement for Supabase?

Not yet. Core first: queries, web interfaces, sign-in, and per-row access rules. File storage and edge functions come after those pass tests.

What is Li?

A systems language that compiles to machine code. Librebase’s database engine and process supervisor are written in Li.

Can I run it myself?

Yes. Local install or Docker. The waitlist is for hosted cloud instances we run for you.

How do AI tools connect?

Through standard assistant tool hooks for projects, health, and queries, plus web interfaces for app clients.

Dedicated vs shared?

Dedicated: one server, one project. Shared: several projects on one server, cheaper for staging.

What does early access include?

Email when cloud and dedicated servers open, plus the console on this site today.

Join the waitlist for early access

We email you when hosted cloud and private servers open. The console on this site works now.

PostgreSQL for teams and AI tools. Small footprint. Honest status.
