Aerostack SDK
One package. Every backend service. Install the Aerostack SDK and get instant access to authentication, database, realtime pub/sub, file storage, AI completions, caching, queues, and vector search — all through a single, consistent API.
No stitching together five different services. No managing credentials for each one. One SDK, one provider, one project.

Install
Section titled “Install”npm install @aerostack/reactnpm install @aerostack/sdkgo get github.com/aerostack/aerostack-gopip install aerostackdependencies: aerostack: ^1.0.0Provider setup (React)
Section titled “Provider setup (React)”Wrap your application once. Every hook and component below it has access to all Aerostack services.
import { AerostackProvider } from '@aerostack/react'
function App() { return ( <AerostackProvider projectId="proj_abc123" apiKey="pk_live_..." baseUrl="https://api.aerostack.dev/v1" > {/* your app here */} </AerostackProvider> )}Server SDK setup (Node.js)
Section titled “Server SDK setup (Node.js)”import { AerostackClient } from '@aerostack/sdk'
const client = new AerostackClient({ projectId: process.env.PROJECT_ID, apiKey: process.env.API_KEY, baseUrl: 'https://api.aerostack.dev/v1',})
const { sdk, realtime } = clientWhat you can build
Section titled “What you can build”Auth — SaaS login, mobile OTP, magic links
Section titled “Auth — SaaS login, mobile OTP, magic links”Build complete authentication flows in minutes. Email/password registration, passwordless OTP for mobile apps, magic link login for frictionless onboarding, email verification, password reset, and profile management with avatars. Supports Cloudflare Turnstile bot protection out of the box.
Database — Product catalogs, user profiles, analytics dashboards
Section titled “Database — Product catalogs, user profiles, analytics dashboards”Full SQL access to your project’s database. Parameterized queries prevent injection. Batch operations run as atomic transactions — perfect for inventory updates, order placement, or any multi-step write. Query with RETURNING * to get inserted rows back without a second round-trip.
Realtime — Live chat, collaborative editing, presence, live dashboards
Section titled “Realtime — Live chat, collaborative editing, presence, live dashboards”WebSocket channels with automatic reconnection. Subscribe to database table changes and get notified on every INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE — no polling. Track who is online with presence. Persist messages for chat history. Build live auction bidding, collaborative document editing, multiplayer game state, or real-time analytics dashboards.
Storage — Avatars, documents, media galleries
Section titled “Storage — Avatars, documents, media galleries”Upload files to object storage with CDN-backed URLs. Manage metadata, copy files between paths, check existence. Build user avatar systems, document management, or media galleries with thumbnails.
AI — Chat completions, semantic search, RAG, content generation
Section titled “AI — Chat completions, semantic search, RAG, content generation”Access 30+ LLM models through a unified API. Stream responses token-by-token for chat interfaces. Combine with vector search to build RAG pipelines that answer questions using your own data. Generate content, summarize documents, or classify text.
Cache — Session storage, rate limiting, feature flags
Section titled “Cache — Session storage, rate limiting, feature flags”Sub-millisecond key-value storage at the edge. Set TTLs for automatic expiry. Use atomic counters for rate limiting or view counts. Bulk get/set for efficient batch operations. Store session data, feature flags, or computed results.
Queue — Email sending, PDF generation, batch imports
Section titled “Queue — Email sending, PDF generation, batch imports”Offload expensive work to background jobs with configurable retries and delays. Track job status and cancel pending work. Build email notification pipelines, PDF report generation, bulk CSV imports, or scheduled data processing.
Vector Search — Knowledge bases, recommendations, FAQ matching
Section titled “Vector Search — Knowledge bases, recommendations, FAQ matching”Ingest documents as vector embeddings and query them with natural language. Build knowledge bases that find relevant articles by meaning, not keywords. Power product recommendations, FAQ auto-matching, or semantic code search.
