Company Performance Metrics
Personal Data Stores (PDS) are the core of Basic. Rather than deploying a single, giant database, we store data on multiple small data stores. They also have some novel capabilities:
- Can be dedicated to any entity like a user, device, and AI agent
- Have a unique “address” that enables sharing of information and communication between users,
devices, and agents easy
- All of a user’s information from across their apps is stored in a PDS they own (sort of like their personal data backpack for the internet), allowing them to control it
- Cheap to deploy, and scale independently
Basic’s flexible data platform means that apps and AI agents can spin up unique databases for every user and use case extremely quickly. Currently, developers use Basic for data storage (instead of Supabase). Shortly, they’ll also use Basic for compute (instead of AWS).
