Introducing Databases

We're excited to launch built-in Postgres databases for Create apps.

Databases are crucial but tricky. We've simplified it. Just chat with Create about your app. It instantly adds and updates your database. Hit Publish, and your app is live.

Each app gets its own scalable Postgres database (same DB that powers popular apps worldwide). So your next app can scale to millions of users.

Instant setup

Previously, you used / commands to make databases. Now, just chat with Create.

"Make an AI todo list that breaks tasks into subtasks and lets me delete tasks."

Create handles database setup, migrations, queries, UI, and backend instantly.

Go from zero to full-stack app in seconds.

Automatic changes

Create tracks and updates your database automatically.

No SQL needed. Just describe changes in plain English.

Edit like a spreadsheet

editor

Sometimes you need manual edits. We've added a spreadsheet-like editor. Easily tweak, sort, filter, upload, export, or verify data.

Test and Live

Want to test database changes safely? Create provides a free test database. It's separate from your live database. When ready, push changes live with confidence.

Pair it with Stripe, Auth, and more

The new built-in databases integrate with everything else in Create. Add payments, user accounts, or frontend updates easily.

Postgres

If you know a thing or two about databases, your first question is probably "what's powering this?". Your second question is "will it scale?".

Create uses Neon's branching model to safely test database changes. Learn more.

1 GB Free

Every Create app includes 1 GB free storage. Need more? Upgrade to Pro for unlimited scaling.
