SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides an immediate, no-signup Postgres database and connection string for local development, demos, prototyping, and short-lived test environments so users and agents can get a working DATABASE_URL without account setup or billing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fast provisioning: Programmatic provisioning via pg.new REST API, CLI, SDK, or Vite plugin to obtain a pooled connection string and claim URL in seconds.
  • Safe env management: Guidance and checks to avoid overwriting existing environment variables, write connection strings to .env, and surface the claim URL so users can preserve the database.
  • Use case: Quickly spin up a throwaway database for running migrations, running integration tests, or demoing a feature, then share the claim URL so the user can claim it permanently.

Quick Start

Request a temporary DATABASE_URL by asking the agent to provision a claimable Postgres via the pg.new API and write the connection string to the project's .env file.
