How Natterio is built
Natterio is built on open-source foundations. That means no lock-in and no proprietary formats — your content and data stay readable and exportable, whatever happens.
This page is for anyone who wants to understand what's actually running behind Natterio — no computer science degree required.
Why open source matters for you: if Natterio ever disappeared tomorrow, the foundations we're built on — the website engine, the editor, the database — have large independent communities behind them. Your data stays readable and portable. You're never trapped.Next.js
The website engineYour site and the Natterio platform both run on Next.js — the same technology used by Vercel, Loom, and thousands of production apps. Fast, reliable, and actively maintained.
Keystatic
The content editorKeystatic is an open-source content management tool that stores your pages, articles, and settings as plain, exportable files rather than a proprietary vendor format. You can always read and export your content.
Built-in forum
The community forumYour community forum is built into Natterio itself — members, threads, and replies all live in your own PostgreSQL database, not a third-party service. Your forum data is yours, and it's included in the full-site export any time.
Cloudflare
Global hosting & securityNatterio sites run on Cloudflare's global network — fast everywhere, DDoS-resistant, with automatic HTTPS. Your site is served close to your visitors, wherever they are.
PostgreSQL on Neon
The databaseAll your site data — members, posts, settings — lives in a standard PostgreSQL database. It's the most widely used open-source database in the world, and your data is exportable in standard SQL at any time.
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.
