Why Flux
For visitors already asking why not a polished general-purpose Postgres platform. Flux is an owner-operated app foundry — not a feature-parity alternative.
Orientation
A familiar shape, owned directly.
Flux uses a familiar modern backend shape: Postgres, migrations, JWT-aware APIs, auth, deployment standards, and per-app environments. If Supabase is the polished general-purpose Postgres platform, Flux is the smaller owner-operated version built to launch and maintain a house of specific apps.
