Sheet 01 / Sovereignty

A Sydney region is not the same as sovereignty.

Where your data physically sits is one thing. Whose laws can reach it is another, and that is decided by who owns the provider, not where the servers are.

Residency only

A foreign-owned provider's Sydney region

Your data is in Australia, but the operating company is foreign owned. Foreign laws, such as the US CLOUD Act, can compel that company to hand it over wherever the servers sit. The local region does not change that.

Residency and sovereignty

WattleDB

Australian company, Australian owned infrastructure, no foreign entity anywhere in the chain. There is nothing for an overseas court to compel, so there is no cross-jurisdiction risk to disclose or defend.

Sheet 02 / What you get

A full backend, not just a database.

The same Postgres and PostgREST core as Supabase, so your data layer moves over cleanly. Everything below runs on Australian owned infrastructure.

01

Managed PostgreSQL

A production database in about two minutes. No servers to run, patch, or babysit.

02

Instant REST API

Every table becomes a web API automatically, powered by PostgREST. No backend code to write.

03

Auth and row-level security

JWT plus Postgres row-level security. Sign your own tokens and limit each user to their own rows.

04

Object storage

A private, S3-compatible bucket for files, hosted onshore alongside your database.

05

Backups and recovery

Automatic snapshots plus continuous change-log archiving for point-in-time recovery, backed up cross-state.

06

Masked test clones

Clone a database with personal data scrambled, so developers test on realistic data safely.

Sheet 03 / Two sites, one country

Sydney primary. Melbourne backup. Both Australian.

Your live database runs in Sydney. Backups and the continuous change-log stream to Melbourne, a different state on different ground, so a single disaster cannot take out both. Neither copy ever leaves Australia.

Sheet 05 / Honest status

What is live, and what we are still building.

We would rather tell you straight than oversell. Here is exactly where things stand today.

Live today

  • Managed Postgres, connection pooling, TLS-only connections
  • Auto REST API, JWT and row-level security
  • Object storage, backups and point-in-time recovery
  • Masked clones, activity logs, GST tax invoices

Still building

  • Automatic failover (databases run single-instance today)
  • Realtime subscriptions and a hosted auth service
  • Formal certifications such as SMB1001 and ISO 27001, as we grow

Build on ground that stays yours.

Spin up a free database in about two minutes. No credit card, no foreign jurisdiction, no egress bills.
