Documentation

Everything the platform does, written down.

CheapDB is a relational database platform for PostgreSQL and Vitess. These docs cover creating clusters, connecting applications, operating the failure path, and the platform reference.

Quickstart

A cluster in three commands.

Authenticate, create, connect. Every cluster comes up with pooling in front and backups configured — the connection string is the only thing your application needs.

$ cheapdb auth login
$ cheapdb cluster create api-prod \
    --engine postgres --size C-40 --ha
  ✓ cluster ready (primary + 2 replicas)

$ cheapdb cluster connection-string api-prod
  postgres://app:•••@api-prod.db.cheap:5432/app

Docs are versioned with the platform.

Every release ships with its documentation. If the console can do it, it is written down here.
