Videos from PgConfDev are starting to show up on YouTube!
Great time to catch up on both the new content and the amazing talks from past events.
You can start with my talk: "Scaling Postgres to Million Tenants"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfAS...
I built a pricing calculator for Nile Auth (Auth for B2B apps) because “unlimited users” sounds cool — but you probably still wanna know what's the catch.
🥁 The catch: there isn’t one.
thenile.dev/auth
On the free tier, you can get:
1M tenants
1M active users
750 logins/month
…for $0/month.
Authentication is part of web security - and as such it can be intimidating.
All these attack scenarios, secrets, encryption layers, protocols, mitigations and rules.
Luckily, James Mickens summarized all we need to know in his classic paper "This World of Ours":
Nile-Auth drop-in UI components are not *just* pretty.
They make your app secure by default:
These components use cookies and CSRF tokens correctly to protect against XSS and CSRF attacks.
Oh, and if you don't like our style, just bring your own Tailwind themes.

How fast does creating a Postgres DB on @thenile.dev take?
The agents would love it!
Small quality of life improvement to our docs.
Our sidebar was getting long. We now have a top tab with our products, which is much easier to navigate.
Give it a try, and let me know what you think

Product taste will be a massive differentiator in the AI generated future of product development
To build world-class products, you must acquire a strong product sense and know what great looks like.
One of the best ways to do this is to use other products often. Not from just competitive products (which might be helpful in some cases) but across all domains.
Happy 2025! Inspired to build a B2B application this year and not sure what to build? Want to try learning AI, RAG or agents by building an example?
We got you! 20 examples of AI-native applications, complete with database schema. So you can get started, experiment, learn and have fun.

I used @vercel.com's @v0.dev and @thenile.dev to generate a multi-tenant holiday cards app 🎄 Here's a video of how I did this.
Spoiler alert: I didn't do much. Which is the entire point.
