The open-source backend
your frontend was waiting for.

Pluto ships a complete Backend-as-a-Service — authentication, auto-generated APIs, realtime, storage, vector search and edge functions — behind a typed SDK and an admin dashboard. Run it on your laptop with docker compose up, or one-click deploy to Fly, Railway or Render.

Core modules

Everything your app needs, already wired.

Eight canonical services, all namespaced, all versioned, all covered by integration tests.

/auth

Authentication

Email/password, magic link, phone OTP, OAuth (Google, GitHub), MFA (TOTP), SAML SSO. JWT + refresh, session revocation.

/data-api

Auto REST + GraphQL

Instant CRUD endpoints from Postgres tables. Filters, ordering, pagination, RLS enforced per JWT claim.

/realtime

Realtime v5

WebSocket subscriptions, presence, ordered broadcast, sharded rooms, backpressure policies.

/storage

Storage v4

Public/private buckets, signed URLs, resumable uploads. Local disk or S3-compatible (MinIO, R2, S3).

/edge

Edge Functions v7

Deploy TypeScript handlers to isolates. KV, queues, secrets, cron triggers.

/vector

Vector v3

pgvector-backed HNSW indexes, hybrid rerank (linear/RRF), streaming embeddings.

/jobs

Jobs & Workflows

Durable multi-step workflows with step ledger, retries, side-effect idempotency.

/obs

Observability v3

Structured logs, request-id tracing, Prometheus metrics, per-tenant usage & quotas.

Typed SDK

Two lines of setup. Then you're shipping.

One @pluto/client works from React, Vue, React Native and Node — plus first-party Python and Go SDKs.

app.ts@pluto/client
import { createClient } from "@pluto/client";

const pluto = createClient({
  url: "https://api.yourapp.com",
  anonKey: import.meta.env.VITE_PLUTO_ANON_KEY,
});

// Email + password
await pluto.auth.signIn("ada@example.com", "hunter2");

// Magic link — passwordless
await pluto.auth.signInWithMagicLink("ada@example.com");

// OAuth
pluto.auth.signInWithOAuth("google");
Admin dashboard

A control panel, not just a placeholder.

Every module has a real UI. Manage keys, whitelist origins, edit schemas, revoke sessions — without touching SQL.

Projects & Keys

Anon + service-role keys per workspace with copy-safe minting.

CORS whitelist

Per-project allow-list — no wildcards in production.

Database Studio

Visual table editor, SQL runner, migrations timeline.

RLS & RBAC

Native Postgres RLS policies + role registry, tested end-to-end.

User Management

List users, revoke sessions, assign roles, manage MFA.

Health & Verify

/readyz + one-click smoke run of every canonical endpoint.

FAQ

Answers before you ask.

Common questions from teams evaluating Pluto against Firebase and Supabase.

How does Pluto handle CORS?

Every project has a strict allow-list managed in Dashboard → CORS. No wildcards in production. Preflight is served by the API, and disallowed origins are rejected before they hit any module. Add your published frontend origin (e.g. https://backend-joy.lovable.app) before going live.

What is Row-Level Security (RLS) and how do I use it?

Pluto uses native Postgres RLS. Every request sets a Postgres session with the JWT claims (sub, role, workspace_id), so policies like posts.owner = auth.uid() run server-side. The Dashboard ships a policy editor and end-to-end regression tests so bad policies are caught before deploy.

How is realtime implemented?

Realtime v5 is a WebSocket gateway with sharded rooms, presence, ordered broadcast and backpressure. It piggybacks on Postgres logical replication for row-change events (subscribeTable) and adds application-level channels for chat, cursors and presence.

Is pricing per-project or per-workspace?

Cloud plans are billed per project. A workspace can hold many projects, each on its own plan. Self-hosted is free forever regardless of workspace or project count.

How do I deploy Pluto?

Four common paths: (1) docker compose up -d locally; (2) flyctl deploy using the shipped deploy/fly.toml; (3) Railway 1-click via railway.json; (4) Render blueprint via render.yaml. All four boot the same image and pass /readyz before serving traffic.

Can I migrate from Firebase or Supabase?

Yes. The Data API mirrors PostgREST semantics, so Supabase-JS query patterns port directly. For Firebase, use the Pluto CLI import command to move Auth users and Firestore collections into Postgres tables.
