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/appDocs are versioned with the platform.
Every release ships with its documentation. If the console can do it, it is written down here.
