Technical notes
from Nyas.

Short explanations of the core Nyas building blocks: sandbox Postgres for applications, and S3-compatible file storage for uploads, assets, and AI workflows.

Database Postgres

How Nyas database works

Nyas gives each project an isolated PostgreSQL database with a standard connection string. Your app, ORM, migration tool, or coding agent connects through DATABASE_URL and speaks normal Postgres.

The platform handles provisioning, connection routing, pooling options, limits, and backups around that database so the development loop stays fast while the interface remains portable.

  • Use regular SQL, extensions, drivers, and ORM tooling.
  • Start with an isolated sandbox and upgrade when it grows.
  • Export with standard Postgres tools like pg_dump.
Storage S3 API

How S3-compatible file storage works

Nyas file storage exposes an S3-compatible API, so applications can use familiar bucket, object, and signed URL patterns without learning a custom upload system.

It is designed to sit beside your database for the files your app cannot keep in rows: images, documents, generated assets, dataset uploads, and model artifacts.

  • Use existing S3 clients and SDKs where possible.
  • Keep object metadata in Postgres and file bytes in storage.
  • Serve uploads through predictable HTTP URLs and access controls.
