Stop building
infrastructure.

You spend 80% of your time on auth, databases, and compliance. Synap Core handles the plumbing so you can focus on the features.

The Infrastructure Tax

No More Database Management

Users bring their own data pod. You just read/write events via a universal API.

Zero Liability Compliance

GDPR/CCPA is handled at the pod level. You don't store user data, so you don't carry the risk.

Universal API

One standard API for all data types. No more custom backend endpoints for every feature.

Hypothetical Scenarios

Use Cases: The Sovereign Stack in Practice

Scenario

Freelancer Managing 5 Clients
50x
The Old Way

5 separate Notion workspaces ($250/month)

With Synap Core
One self-hosted pod ($5/month)

Clients bring their own data pods. Zero storage cost. GDPR handled at pod level.

Scenario

SaaS Startup
3x
The Old Way

Building auth, database scaling, GDPR compliance from scratch

With Synap Core
Ship features 3x faster

Event sourcing gives audit by default. Users control their pods. Focus on features, not plumbing.

Scenario

Open Source Maintainer
$$$
The Old Way

Hosting costs kill margins. Freemium unsustainable.

With Synap Core
Sustainable business model

Users self-host pods. One-time purchase or subscription. Zero infrastructure costs.

How It Works

1. Event-Sourced Architecture

All state changes are captured as immutable events in TimescaleDB. Every action becomes an auditable, replayable event.

const event = { type: 'task.created', data: { title: 'Call John', dueDate: '2025-05-15' }, userId: 'user-123'}> await pod.events.append(event)

2. Universal API (tRPC)

Type-safe, auto-generated APIs for all data operations. No more REST boilerplate.

const tasks = await client.tasks.list.query(({ filters: { status: 'pending' }, limit: 10})

3. Hub Protocol (AI Integration)

Secure AI-to-pod communication with scoped access tokens and audit trails.

const token = await pod.hub.generateAccessToken(({ scope: ['notes', 'tasks', 'calendar'], expiresIn: 300 })

Deploy in 5 Minutes

# 1. Start the pod (PostgreSQL + MinIO + Redis)$ docker compose up -dInitializing Event Store... Starting Universal API... Ready on localhost:3000# 2. Run migrations$ cd packages/database && pnpm db:migrate# 3. Start API server$ pnpm dev Your personal data pod is live ✓

What You Get Out-of-the-Box

Event Sourcing

TimescaleDB hypertable for immutable eventsRow-Level Security for multi-user isolationOptimistic concurrency with versioning

Vector Search

pgvector for semantic searchEmbeddings via OpenAI or deterministic fallbackHybrid search: keyword + semantic

AI Integration

LangGraph state machines for multi-step reasoningHub Protocol for secure AI↔Pod communicationVercel AI SDK for LLM calls (provider-agnostic)

Storage Abstraction

Cloudflare R2 (production) or MinIO (dev)Hybrid storage: metadata in PostgreSQL, content in R2Signed URLs for secure content access

The Business Case

Traditional SaaS• $500/month AWS costs• GDPR compliance team needed• Data breach liability risk• Vendor lock-in reputation
Sovereign Stack• $0 infrastructure (users self-host)• $0 compliance (user's responsibility)• $0 data breach risk• Trust-first positioning
