Creating a database

  1. Click + New Database from the dashboard
  2. Enter a name (lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, 3-50 characters)
  3. Enter a display name (human-friendly label)
  4. Click Create
The database is provisioned immediately. You’ll see connection credentials on the detail page.

Database detail page

Click any database card to see its details:
  • Connection details — Host, port, database name, username
  • Connection string — Copy-paste ready (password masked, click to reveal)
  • Metrics — Current size on disk
  • Actions — Reset password, delete database
  • Backups — View backup history, trigger new backups

Resetting a password

If you need a new password:
  1. Go to the database detail page
  2. Click Reset Password
  3. A new password is generated and the old one stops working immediately
All active connections using the old password will be disconnected. Update your application’s connection string before resetting.

Deleting a database

  1. Go to the database detail page
  2. Click Delete Database
  3. Confirm the deletion
Deletion is permanent. The PostgreSQL database, user, and all data are removed. Backups on disk are retained but the database cannot be restored from the dashboard.
