O que dá para fazer com butterbase ai?

Butterbase gives you the building blocks for AI-driven applications without lock-in: a Postgres-backed backend with row-level security, serverless functions, an LLM gateway, realtime subscriptions, key-value store, file storage, RAG, durable per-key actors, and a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so agents can operate your backend with tools instead of glue code.

Features

Data

Postgres data plane — per-app databases with declarative schema (/schema), automatic REST endpoints (/auto-api), and migrations.
Row-Level Security — first-class RLS policy management with user-isolation helpers (/rls).
Key-Value store — regional, quota-protected KV with TTL, audit trail, and dashboard expose rules (/v1/:app/kv/*). New in v0.2.0.
File storage — S3/R2-backed object storage with presigned URLs, ACLs, and async indexing (/storage).

Compute

Serverless functions — TypeScript functions executed on the Deno runtime (/functions).
Durable Objects — stateful per-key actors for chat rooms, multiplayer, rate limiters, long-running agents (/durable-objects).
Realtime — WebSocket subscriptions to table changes for live UIs and presence (/realtime).
Edge SSR — deploy Next.js / Remix / Astro edge handlers from source (/edge-ssr, /edge-ssr-from-source).
Frontend hosting — zip or build-from-source static / SPA deploys with custom domains (/frontend, /custom-domains).

AI gateway — single endpoint for chat, embeddings, model listing; pluggable router adapters (/gateway, /ai-config).
RAG — managed collections, document ingestion, semantic search and synthesized answers (/rag).
Integrations — third-party tool access via Composio (/integrations).

Identity & ops

Auth — email + OAuth (Google, GitHub, Apple, X, …), JWT tuning, post-login hooks, service keys (/auth, /oauth-config, /api-keys).
Audit logs — structured request audit trail across KV and other surfaces (/audit-logs).
Webhooks — outbound webhooks for app events (/webhooks).
Multi-region app moves — relocate an app across regions with retained source replicas (scripts/move-app/).

Agent surface

MCP server — every capability above is exposed as MCP tools at /mcp (HTTP) or via stdio (@butterbase/mcp — npx @butterbase/mcp).
Claude Code plugin — packages/plugin (submodule of butterbase-skills) ships 30+ guided skills (idea → plan → schema → auth → functions → deploy → submit) for agentic app building.

Open-source vs. managed

This repo ships the runtime data plane — everything required to self-host a fully featured Butterbase instance. The managed offering at butterbase.ai adds multi-region orchestration, billing, upstream AI router adapters, lease-based quota enforcement, and ops dashboards (those live in a private repo that consumes this one as a submodule).

When you self-host, the AI gateway runs without upstream router adapters, billing uses a no-op provider, and quotas are unlimited. Wire your own implementations via the BillingProvider, QuotaEnforcer, and RouterAdapter interfaces in packages/shared.

Quickstart (self-host)

Requirements: Docker, Node 22+, npm.

1. Clone (with submodules)

The Claude Code plugin containing skills (packages/plugin) is a git submodule (butterbase-skills). A plain clone leaves packages/plugin/ empty and npm install silently skips that workspace.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/butterbase-ai/butterbase.git
cd butterbase

If you already cloned without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Optional — keep submodules updated on every pull:

git config --global submodule.recurse true

2. Install dependencies and configure env

npm ci
cp .env.example .env

docker-compose.local.yml sets KV_REDIS_URL_US_EAST_1 for you. Edit .env only if you override defaults (e.g. run control-api on the host — use redis://localhost:6379).

3. Start the stack

First run builds images and can take several minutes.

docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d

Wait until control-api is healthy:

curl -sf http://localhost:4000/health/ready

4. Run database migrations

Schema is not applied automatically on container start. From the repo root (with the stack running):

export NEON_PLATFORM_PRIMARY_URL=postgresql://butterbase:butterbase_dev@localhost:5433/butterbase_control
export NEON_RUNTIME_PROJECT_ID_US_EAST_1=postgresql://butterbase:butterbase_dev@localhost:5437/butterbase_runtime_us
export BUTTERBASE_REGIONS=us-east-1

npm run migrate:all

5. Seed the local dev user

With AUTH_ENABLED=false, the API uses DEV_OWNER_ID from compose. That user must exist in platform_users (fresh volumes start empty):

export NEON_PLATFORM_PRIMARY_URL=postgresql://butterbase:butterbase_dev@localhost:5433/butterbase_control
npm run seed:dev

6. Smoke test

Auth is disabled in the local compose profile (AUTH_ENABLED=false):

curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/init \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-app"}'

curl http://localhost:4000/apps

Three Postgres planes:

control-plane (db/control-plane/) — platform metadata: users, apps, billing, audit.
runtime-plane (db/runtime-plane/) — hot-path runtime tables (KV expose rules, realtime channels, sessions).
data-plane (db/data-plane/) — per-app user data; each app gets isolated schemas with RLS.

`@butterbase/shared`	Shared types, constants, and pluggable interfaces (`BillingProvider`, `QuotaEnforcer`, `RouterAdapter`).

Other top-level pieces

dispatch-worker/ — Cloudflare Worker that routes per-app subdomain traffic.
bb-placeholder/ — placeholder origin for unprovisioned subdomains.

What's not in this repo

The OSS / managed boundary is intentional. The following are private to the managed offering:

Multi-region orchestration and the cross-region scheduler.
Billing logic, lease-based quota math, and Stripe wire-up beyond the no-op provider.
Upstream AI router adapters (OpenAI / Anthropic / Bedrock provider integrations beyond the gateway interface).
Customer / admin dashboards, hackathon-host dashboards, and ops tooling.

If you need these for self-host, implement against the interfaces in packages/shared — see CONTRIBUTING.md for the scope rules.

Project status

Latest release: v0.2.0 (2026-05-25) — adds the KV store across SDK / REST / CLI / MCP. The data plane is production-tested by the managed offering; the OSS distribution is young — please file self-host issues and we'll tighten docs and defaults from feedback. See CHANGELOG.md for the full history.
