Features
Everything you need to store, search and secure your data, without a schema or a platform team.
Data
Schemaless objects
Plain JSON in, plain JSON out. No migrations, no ORM ceremony. Works on key-value stores and traditional databases alike.
Three layers
Every object is persisted, indexed and cached by default. Swap the database, the search engine and the cache independently.
Pluggable modules
SQL, MongoDB, Cassandra or DynamoDB. Lucene or Elasticsearch. Caffeine or Hazelcast. Choose per deployment, not per product.
Operations
Stateless scaling
No sticky sessions, no node-local state. Scaling out just requires more nodes, not a re-architecture.
Multitenancy
Each Para app is fully isolated and gets its own table, index and cache. Better efficiency and resource utilization.
Webhooks
Signed webhook payloads on object events. Wire Para into anything that speaks HTTP.
MCP server
A built-in MCP server lets AI agents read and write your data directly, with the same permissions as any client.
Search
Full-text search
Create complex queries using fuzzy matching or boolean logic. Results are ranked and paginated.
Geoloaction queries
Find objects by location, prefix or wildcard.
Automatic indexing
Every object is indexed automatically. Fine-tuning allows you to exclude objects from search results.
Security
Built-in auth
JWT, passwordless logins, LDAP, SAML and social login for all the major identity providers.
Resource permissions
Grant read and write access per object or per app. Para applies permissions on every request.
Validation constraints
Grant read and write access per object or per app. Para applies permissions on every request.
Integrations
HTML Form handling
Add a contact form to your website quickly and securely. Para handles the rest.
File storage
Para supports file uploads using any blob storage provider. Choose between local, S3 or write your own.
Transactional emails
Use the special API endpoint for sending emails and notify your users when an event occurs in your application.
