Shift left into the database
Multi-tenant isolation, lazy schema rollout, forks, snapshots, and CDC are engine work — not tenant_id middleware, migration fleets, or audit glue in every SaaS.
The shift-left bet
A clean-room local database engine and pipe-based query language — tenants as first-class primitives, types at edit time, storage that stays out of the way. Isolation, audit history, and fleet migration leave the business layer.
