Bind a Database

Add a managed PostgreSQL database to your application in minutes.

Create a PostgreSQL service

ss create-service postgres main-db --plan standard

This provisions a dedicated RDS PostgreSQL instance via Crossplane. It takes 3-5 minutes.

Bind to your app

ss bind-service main-db my-app

This injects a DATABASE_URL environment variable into your app and triggers a restart.

Verify

ss env get my-app
# DATABASE_URL=postgres://app:****@rds-xxx.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/app

Unbind and delete

ss unbind-service main-db my-app
ss delete-service main-db

Unbinding removes the credentials from your app. Deleting destroys the cloud resource.
