Build MongoDB-style data layers with AI

Orbit maps MongoDB-style document requests to Postgres — flexible JSONB columns give document-like flexibility with relational integrity and RLS on top.

MongoDB AI Builder

A MongoDB-style request is modeled in Postgres on Orbit: JSONB columns preserve the document feel, while tables, indexes, and RLS give you a relational backbone with real security.

In plain English

MongoDB stores data in flexible documents. Orbit models document-style data in Postgres — same flexibility, plus relational integrity and real security.

How it works in Orbit

MongoDB's flexible documents are great for evolving schemas. Orbit maps document-style data needs onto Postgres with JSONB — flexible documents where you need them, relational power where you don't.

Flexible documents via JSONB

Sparse and changing fields fit naturally in Postgres JSONB columns. Orbit models your spec as documents when the shape is flexible, and structured tables when it isn't.

  • JSONB for flexible shapes
  • Indexed document queries
  • Hybrid table + document model

Query flexibility

Postgres JSON operators cover the queries Mongo users rely on, from nested lookups to array membership, and they run alongside normal SQL joins.

  • JSON path queries
  • Indexed lookups
  • Joins across documents and tables

Why Postgres instead

Mongo's operational tradeoffs — manual replication, eventual consistency — are handled for you by managed Postgres, while documents still work the way your product needs.

  • Managed replication
  • Strong consistency
  • One database for all data
  1. Spec flexible data

    Describe records that change shape.

  2. Generate documents

    Orbit models them as JSONB on Postgres.

  3. Query naturally

    Use document operators and joins.

  4. Scale managed

    Rely on managed replication and backups.

The challenge

Try it yourself

Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.

Build

Try this one elsewhere first.

Store the same messy, nested data on both backends and try to query it. Compare who bends without breaking.

Research

Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.

Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.

Chat

Ask a plain chatbot the same question.

One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.

Image & video

Generate the same image, then edit it.

Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.

Honest stack note: Orbit standardizes your spec to a production React (Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind) stack with Supabase as the data layer. You get the product you asked for — verified, typed, and provisioned — built on the platform's supported stack rather than a framework Orbit can't verify end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions

Can Orbit handle document-style data?

Yes — JSONB in Postgres preserves the flexible, document-like storage you'd get from MongoDB, with the added benefits of SQL and RLS.

Do I lose MongoDB features on Postgres?

Common document patterns — nested data, arrays, flexible fields — work in JSONB. If you need a MongoDB server specifically, the app's data layer can be repointed.

Can I keep my MongoDB-style document model?

Orbit maps flexible, document-shaped data onto Postgres JSONB columns, so schemaless-looking documents still work. You keep the flexibility of MongoDB-style shapes with the safety and relational power of Postgres underneath.
