Natterio
Under the hood

What's actually running behind Natterio

No computer science degree needed to read this page. Five plain-English answers to “what happens if I want to leave, or if Natterio doesn't?”

If Natterio disappeared tomorrow, the parts we're built on — the website engine, the editor, the database — are open-source projects with large, independent communities behind them, not things only we can maintain. Your content and data stay readable and exportable regardless of what happens to us.

Pages load fast, even on patchy hall wifi

Your site and the Natterio platform are built the same way — pages arrive pre-built rather than assembled in the visitor's browser, so they show up quickly on a phone in a village hall as readily as on office fibre.

Next.js

Your pages are never locked in a format only we can read

Everything you write — pages, articles, settings — is stored as plain files, not a proprietary database only Natterio's software understands. You can open and read your own content at any time.

Keystatic

Your members' discussions belong to you, not a platform

The forum runs inside Natterio itself — threads and replies live in your own database, not a third-party chat service. It's included in a full-site export whenever you want a copy.

Built-in forum

Your site stays up if it gets busy, or attacked

Natterio sites run on a global network built to absorb traffic spikes and attacks automatically, with HTTPS on by default. You don't configure any of this — it's just how every site is served.

Cloudflare

Getting your data out is never a special favour

Members, posts, and settings all live in a standard database format used by thousands of other services — not something built to be difficult to leave. Export it in a standard form whenever you like.

Your data, your rules

Export your full site — content, members, posts — at any time from your account settings. No export fees, no gatekeeping, no “premium export” tiers. It's your data.
