Preview databases

Disposable Postgres databases for testing, review apps, debugging, and other controlled forms of chaos.

All docsBackupsImport

Modes

  • empty creates a fresh preview database
  • clone creates a preview from the source project database

Lifecycle

Each preview stores a TTL expiration timestamp. The backend tracks preview create, reset, restore, and delete jobs separately from primary project jobs.

Preview connection details follow the same direct and pooled pattern as the main project.

Framework guides

Keep your framework. Change the connection string.

Backups and restore

Backups and restore flows exist for the moments when confidence and correctness stop matching.
