Human roles affected

What it replaces or reduces

  • Backend engineer (auth, database APIs)
  • Database administrator (hosting, backups)

Why this autonomy level: Hosting, auth and, on paid plans, daily backups run without operator action. Schema changes and access policies remain the operator's (or a coding agent's) job. Free projects pause after a week of inactivity, and the backups doc tells free-plan users to export their own data.

Supported workflows

What it can execute

  • Host a Postgres database per project
  • Handle sign-up and login via email/password, passwordless and OAuth
  • Store files with row-level-security access policies
  • Run globally distributed server-side functions (Edge Functions)
  • Take automatic daily backups on Pro, Team and Enterprise (7, 14 and up to 30 days retention)
  • Connect to coding agents via plugins, MCP and skills
