Database
Use Basalt to connect, manage and secure your Postgres database.
Every Basalt project gets a full Postgres 17 database, not an abstraction over one. It is the foundation the auth, storage and live services are built on, and Basalt takes a backup every day.
Work with your database in three ways:
Visually, with the Table editor in the dashboard.
With SQL, in the SQL editor.
From code, with the client libraries or any Postgres driver.
