Product Introduction
OneNode is an AI-native database platform designed to simplify backend development for AI-powered applications by unifying document storage, vector search, media processing, and asynchronous task management. It eliminates the need for multiple infrastructure components by providing integrated AI models, real-time data synchronization, and scalable storage solutions in a single service. Developers can deploy AI features faster without managing separate databases, queues, or storage systems. The platform is optimized for applications requiring semantic search, multimedia handling, and real-time updates.
The core value of OneNode lies in reducing infrastructure complexity for AI developers, enabling them to focus entirely on feature development instead of database maintenance. By combining document databases, vector search, media storage, and pre-integrated AI models, it removes 70% of typical backend setup work. This allows teams to scale prototypes to production without rearchitecting systems or debugging connection pools. The platform ensures seamless scalability from prototype to 10,000+ users while maintaining performance consistency.
Main Features
OneNode provides a schema-free document database with MongoDB-like query syntax, enabling flexible storage and retrieval of JSON data without manual schema migrations. It supports nested documents, indexing, and atomic operations for high-performance applications. Developers can execute complex queries using familiar syntax while avoiding traditional relational database constraints.
The built-in vector database offers AI-powered semantic search with automatic text and image embeddings, eliminating the need for separate vector search engines. It supports hybrid queries combining metadata filters and vector similarity scoring. Pre-trained embedding models normalize multimedia data into searchable vectors, enabling applications like recommendation systems or cross-modal retrieval.
Integrated media storage handles images, videos, and audio files with automatic format optimization and CDN delivery. Files are processed through resize, compression, and thumbnail generation pipelines upon upload. Developers can attach metadata to media assets for combined semantic and attribute-based searches.
Background job processing includes managed queues for asynchronous tasks like batch processing or AI inference jobs. The system auto-scales workers based on queue depth and retries failed tasks with configurable backoff strategies. Developers define jobs using serverless functions without managing message brokers or worker instances.
Pre-integrated AI models such as GPT-4, vision models, and text-to-embedding transformers are available via API endpoints. These models process inputs directly within the database layer, enabling operations like sentiment analysis or image tagging without external API calls. Usage metrics and rate limits are visible in the dashboard.
Real-time data synchronization propagates changes across all connected clients within 50ms, supporting collaborative apps and live dashboards. The system uses WebSocket-based pub/sub channels with conflict resolution for offline edits. Developers can subscribe to document-level updates without writing custom WebSocket code.
Problems Solved
OneNode addresses the infrastructure fragmentation problem where developers spend 70% of their time integrating databases, queues, and AI services instead of building features. Traditional setups require maintaining MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, and cloud storage separately, leading to compatibility issues and scaling bottlenecks. The platform consolidates these components into a unified API layer.
The target user group includes AI startups, solo developers, and teams building intelligent applications requiring semantic search, multimedia processing, or real-time collaboration. It is particularly effective for projects transitioning from MVP to production, where scaling document databases and vector search systems becomes critical.
Typical use cases include scaling an AI coding assistant from 100 to 10,000 users without rewriting database queries, adding image-based semantic search to an e-commerce app, or deploying a real-time collaborative editor with automatic conflict resolution. Startups can prototype AI features in days instead of weeks by leveraging pre-built models and storage.
Unique Advantages
Unlike competitors requiring separate services for document storage (e.g., Firebase) and vector search (e.g., Pinecone), OneNode unifies these capabilities with shared query syntax and data governance. This eliminates API orchestration overhead and reduces latency between components.
The platform innovates with embedded AI models that execute directly on stored data, such as running GPT-4 over document collections or applying vision models to image repositories. This tight integration allows queries like "Find product images similar to this photo and generate SEO tags using GPT-4" in a single API call.
Competitive advantages include zero-configuration scalability for document and vector workloads, 50ms real-time sync guarantees, and cost-efficient media processing pipelines. The platform abstracts infrastructure management tasks like sharding, replication, and backup, which typically require dedicated DevOps resources.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does OneNode handle scaling to 10,000+ concurrent users? The platform auto-scales compute and storage resources based on demand, with horizontal partitioning for document databases and dynamic worker allocation for background jobs. Users pay only for active usage metrics like API calls and storage volume.
Which AI models are currently supported? OneNode integrates OpenAI’s GPT-4, CLIP for image-text embeddings, and Whisper for audio processing. Custom model deployment is possible via containerized endpoints connected to the database layer.
Can I migrate existing MongoDB collections to OneNode? Yes, the platform provides a CLI tool for importing MongoDB BSON dumps and aligning indexes. Query syntax is 95% compatible, with minor differences in aggregation pipeline operators documented in the migration guide.
Does media storage support video transcoding? All uploaded videos are automatically converted to H.264/MP4 format at 1080p resolution, with optional lower resolutions generated on demand. Developers can specify retention policies for transient files like user-uploaded temp content.
How are background jobs priced? The first 10,000 job executions per month are free, with pricing based on execution duration and memory usage thereafter. Jobs run in isolated environments with configurable timeouts up to 15 minutes.
