Use InsForge to store and serve large binary files: images, videos, PDFs, audio, backups, anything you would not put in a database row. Every project gets an S3-compatible bucket. Files are served behind signed URLs, access policies follow the same row-level security model as the database, and the S3 API works with rclone, the AWS CLI, Terraform, and SDKs in any language.

Looking for structured data? Use Database for rows, relations, and queries. Storage holds objects; the database holds rows. Keep file metadata (owner, name, size, content type) in a database table and the bytes in storage.

​
Features

​
S3-compatible API

Point any S3 client at your project’s bucket. Native AWS credentials, native multipart uploads, native presigned URLs. See S3 compatibility.

​
Signed URLs

Generate time-limited URLs to share private objects without exposing your credentials. The SDK and REST API both issue signed URLs for upload and download.

​
Row-level security

Storage policies read the same auth JWT as database queries. The same user who can SELECT a row can GET the file the row references, so you never maintain a separate set of storage permissions.

​
Buckets

Group objects into buckets with separate access policies. Public buckets serve files directly over HTTPS; private buckets require a signed URL or an authenticated request.

​
Direct uploads

Browser and mobile clients upload straight to storage with a presigned URL. The backend never proxies bytes.

​
