Enterprise-grade data and storage

Elastic infrastructure to handle all of your data and storage needs securely and at scale - powered by AWS.

Managed Relational Database

  • Fully encrypted, distributed, fault-tolerant and self-healing.

  • Can be hosted in different regions or globally distributed.

  • Define relational schemas that include structured field types, files and data from external systems.

  • Easily attach images, documents, voice, video and other file types to records; 8base handles storage using S3.

Integrate external data sources

    • Connect data sources housed in 3rd party systems.

    • Link 8base and external tables to establish cross-system data relationships.

    • Confidently query all integrated data sources through our GraphQL API.

    How does 8base work?

    Your teams only need to focus on core business logic and on the front-end.

    8base's platform has pre-wired all the AWS services, and 3rd party integrations, that are required by all software – yet unique to none! Authentication, Roles and Permissions, File and Image storage, Relational Database, a GraphQL API Endpoint, and others are all production-ready.
