Introducing PaperDB: one SDK for your entire backend

Auth, documents, storage, realtime, webhooks, and cron — without writing a custom API layer.

PaperDB is a frontend-first Backend-as-a-Service built for teams who want to ship SaaS fast.

Why we built it

Most BaaS products force you into their dashboard patterns. PaperDB flips that: you get a production API and TypeScript SDK, plus a dashboard when you need to operate it.

What ships today

  • Email/password and OAuth for your end-users
  • Schema-guided document collections
  • File storage on R2 or S3
  • Realtime over WebSocket
  • Webhooks and scheduled jobs
import { createClient } from "paperdb";

const db = createClient({ apiKey: process.env.PAPERDB_KEY! }); await db.collection("tasks").insert({ title: "Ship v1", done: false }); ```
