Database Setup

Choose where your generated platform stores its data.

You configure the database from your project Settings page, under the Database Configuration section.

Default Database

By default, your project uses DevOur's managed database. This is the simplest option and requires no configuration — if you leave Use Default Database enabled, everything is handled for you. When you create a bundle, this database runs as a separate container alongside your application.

Choose this option if you want to get up and running quickly without bringing your own data store.

Custom SQL Database

To connect your own PostgreSQL database instead:

  1. Disable Use Default Database.
  2. Select SQL as the database type.
  3. Fill in the connection details:
    • Host: Database server hostname or IP address
    • Port: Database port (default 5432)
    • User: Database username
    • Name: Database name
    • Password: Database password
  4. Click Test Connection to verify the credentials.
  5. If you prefer to save without testing, check Skip Database Connection Test.

Firestore

To use Firebase Firestore as your data store:

  1. Disable Use Default Database.
  2. Select Firestore as the database type.
  3. Make sure the service account you uploaded in your Firebase configuration has the permissions needed to read and write Firestore.

Saving Your Choice

Click Save at the bottom of the Settings page. Your database choice is stored with the rest of your project configuration and is included the next time you create a version and download your bundle.
