Connect to your database | Docs

Open the Connection tab to find your credentials and endpoints.

Endpoints

By default, no endpoints are exposed. You must enable a load balancer in Settings before connection details appear.

Endpoint type	Access	How to enable
Public	Accessible from the internet	Enable Public Load Balancer in Settings
Private	Accessible within your private network only	Enable Private Load Balancer in Settings

Recommendation: Use a private endpoint for production workloads. Expose a public endpoint only when needed, and restrict access with firewall rules.

Credentials

Field	Value
Username	`postgres` (PostgreSQL default)
Password	Revealed via Show Password in the Connection tab

Connection string examples

Once your endpoint is active, connect using standard database tooling.

psql (PostgreSQL)

bash

psql -h <your-endpoint> -U postgres -d <database-name>

Connection URI

postgresql://postgres:<password>@<your-endpoint>:5432/<database-name>

Environment variable

bash

export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:<password>@<your-endpoint>:5432/<database-name>"

Replace <your-endpoint>, <password>, and <database-name> with the values from the Connection tab.
