- Pylon is a full-stack framework that consolidates TypeScript models, live sync, authentication, storage, jobs, and deployment into a single solution, eliminating the need for separate plumbing components.
- It enables real-time data synchronization via WebSocket subscriptions, row-level access policies, and a typed React client, all generated from a unified schema, ensuring consistency across development.
- Features include built-in auth (magic-link email, OAuth), file storage, full-text search, scheduled jobs, WebSocket rooms for live presence, and seamless deployment via CLI or GitHub integration with preview environments.
- The platform supports both SQLite and Postgres, offers a local development studio for debugging, and scales with managed cloud options including edge networking, replicas, and region expansion, while remaining open-source and self-hostable.
- Pricing includes a free tier for hobby projects, a Pro plan at $25 per org per month, and enterprise options, with usage-based billing for additional resources; there is no vendor lock-in due to its open-source binary.
