Take back control and build sustainable, privacy-respecting applications
Explore tools built by the community and share your own
In a world of data breaches, privacy violations, and unpredictable pricing, BYODB represents a return to fundamental principles: you own your data, you control your infrastructure, and you decide your destiny.
Know exactly where your data lives and who has access
Build on standards, not proprietary platforms
Open source tools built by developers, for developers
GDPR compliant by default. Your database, your jurisdiction, your compliance.
Direct database access means lower latency and higher throughput for your applications.
Use familiar tools, standard SQL, and battle-tested databases you already know.
We're rejecting surveillance capitalism and building a directory of tools that respect users. No gatekeeping. No marketing speak. No vendor agendas—just developers sharing solutions that matter.
Built by developers who believe data belongs to users, not corporations
Tools that put control back in your hands, no tracking or hidden agendas
Practical alternatives that work today, not vaporware or empty promises
Building something that respects data ownership? Share it with the community.
