Origin Story

By Paul Copplestone & Ant Wilson

The Problem

Firebase was convenient but proprietary and NoSQL. Developers wanted the same convenience with Postgres and open source.

Building It

Founded in 2020. Y Combinator backed. One of the most-starred open-source projects on GitHub.

What It Means

Backend infrastructure should be open source and built on Postgres.

The Dream

To be the development platform every developer starts with.
