Create it inside a project.
Choose a project and open its Database tab. Plan allowances are shared across your organization, so you can see what is available before creating another database.
The data belongs with the application
Lahyer Databases.
Give your application a managed Postgres database. Keep the connection beside your code and environment settings, with room for your first real users.

Keep the setup together
From connection string
to useful data.
Use PostgreSQL with your application code. Bring your preferred client, ORM, and migrations.
Connect with project-specific credentials.
Use the connection string from your project. Store it as a server-side environment variable instead of committing it to Git or exposing it in browser code.
Use your own application stack.
Connect with a PostgreSQL client or ORM such as Drizzle or Prisma. Your schema and migration workflow remain part of your codebase.
A considered default
One application.
One clear connection.
Keep credentials private, run migrations deliberately, and track your storage allowance as the application grows.
Explore the developer workflowA few useful answers
Before you begin.
Are database limits per project or organization?
The database count is per organization. Free includes 1 database up to 1 GB. Pro includes 10 databases, each up to 10 GB.
Does Lahyer migrate my application schema?
Your application owns its schema and migrations. Use your existing migration tools and test changes before applying them to production data.
Can a frontend connect directly?
Do not expose a Postgres connection string in browser code. Put database access behind server-side code with your application's authentication and authorization rules.
