# Supatype

> Type-first backend platform for PostgreSQL: define `Model<>` types in TypeScript and generate schema, migrations, RLS, REST/GraphQL API, auth, storage, realtime, and Studio CMS — self-hostable by default.

Supatype is an open-source (MIT) TypeScript SDK and platform. The TypeScript schema is the source of truth; SQL, APIs, policies, and admin UI are generated from it rather than maintained by hand. Local development uses `supatype dev` (native or Docker Compose). Production can self-host (`supatype/server` on Docker Hub) or use Supatype Cloud.

Primary audience: TypeScript developers and stack owners on Postgres who want end-to-end type safety without stitching Supabase-style infra, a separate CMS, and hand-written migrations.
