is the managed Postgres product built into the Netlify platform. It is
GA
and is the default choice for any dynamic data in a Netlify project.
Install
@netlify/database
and Netlify auto-provisions a Postgres database for the site at deploy time. Each deploy preview gets its own isolated branch forked from production data. No Neon account, connection-string wiring, or claim flow — the database is a first-class Netlify primitive.
Database vs Blobs
Use
Netlify Database
for anything dynamic:
Any user-generated or app-generated records (posts, comments, orders, sessions, audit logs)
Structured data that will grow, be queried, or be joined
Key-value-style data read or written by application code at runtime
Use
Netlify Blobs
only for
file and asset storage
images, documents, exports, uploads, cached binary artifacts. Do not use Blobs as a dynamic data store — reach for Database instead. See
netlify-blobs/SKILL.md
.
Before you build
If the prompt didn't already specify, ask the user a few short questions before scaffolding any database code — answers shape the schema, the seed data, and the query layer:
