02 · Managed Database

Fast data.
Plain English.
Flat price.

Managed SQLite with sub-millisecond latency, no per-query billing surprises, and a natural language interface that lets anyone on your team query data — no SQL degree required.

The problem
01

Request fees punish success

Many managed databases charge per row read, per query, or per million operations. A viral product means a shocking bill. Your growth becomes a liability.

02

SQL is a barrier

Non-technical teammates — founders, marketers, support agents — can't access their own company's data without a developer's help. They wait. Things slow down.

03

Self-hosting is a full-time job

Self-hosting databases means managing backups, connection pooling, upgrades, and failover. That's a part-time DevOps role you didn't budget for.

Natural language queries

Ask your data
anything.
In plain English.

Type a question the way you'd ask a colleague. Our AI translates it to optimized SQL, runs it against your database, and returns formatted results — with an explanation of the query it generated.

  • Works for everyone on your team — no SQL needed
  • Generates and shows the SQL so you can learn
  • Read-only by default — safe for non-developers
  • Export results to CSV with one click
NATURAL LANGUAGE → SQL
// You type, in the dashboard: "Show me monthly revenue by country for 2025, only countries over $5k, sorted highest first" // We generate and execute: SELECT country, DATE_TRUNC('month', created_at) AS month, SUM(amount_usd) AS revenue FROM orders WHERE EXTRACT(year FROM created_at) = 2025 GROUP BY country, month HAVING SUM(amount_usd) > 5000 ORDER BY revenue DESC; // Results returned instantly. Query explained.
How it works

Managed by us.
Owned by you.

01
Create a database

Pick your region and create a SQLite database. Your isolated instance is ready in under 30 seconds.

02
Connect your app

Use the standard connection string with any ORM — Prisma, Drizzle, SQLAlchemy. Or hit the REST API without any client library.

03
Let us handle operations

Automatic daily backups, one-click point-in-time restore, connection pooling, and zero-downtime minor version upgrades — all managed.

04
Query in English when you need to

Anyone on your team can open the dashboard and ask the database questions in plain English. No SQL, no developer required.

Real world scenarios
Non-technical founder
Data access without a developer

Marcus co-founded a SaaS and handles sales. He needs weekly cohort data for investor meetings but can't write SQL. With ONVIX, he types "Show me user retention by cohort for the last 6 months" and gets his answer in seconds.

Agency
Isolated databases for every client

An agency running 12 client projects creates a separate database per client. Each is isolated, backed up independently, and billed per project. A client's data breach risk never affects another client.

Startup scaling
SQLite that scales with you

A startup launches on SQLite. As they grow to 10,000 users, ONVIX handles replication, backups, and connection pooling automatically. No migration needed — SQLite scales further than most teams think.

Frequently asked
What databases do you support?
+
SQLite — the world's most deployed database engine. Every instance runs in full isolation. Your data is never shared with other customers.
How does natural language querying work?
+
Type a question in plain English in the ONVIX dashboard. Our AI translates it to optimized SQL, shows you the generated query (so you can learn), runs it, and returns results in a formatted table. You can export to CSV. The natural language interface is read-only by default — it cannot modify data unless you explicitly grant write access.
Why no request fees?
+
We believe predictable billing matters. Many database providers charge per row read or per million operations — making your costs unpredictable as you grow. We charge a flat monthly fee based on storage and compute tier. Your costs don't spike when your product goes viral.
How do backups work?
+
Automated daily snapshots with 30-day retention. You can also trigger manual snapshots at any time. Restoring creates a new database instance from the snapshot — your live database remains untouched for comparison. Full point-in-time recovery is available on paid plans.
Can I connect with my existing ORM?
+
Yes. We provide a standard connection string compatible with any ORM — Prisma, Drizzle, SQLAlchemy, ActiveRecord, Sequelize, TypeORM. We also offer a REST API if you prefer to access data without a library.
What's in the free tier?
+
The free tier includes one SQLite database, up to 500MB storage, daily backups with 7-day retention, and access to the natural language query interface. It's genuinely useful for side projects and prototypes.
