Details

A preview feature that lets developers instantly create and use a PostgreSQL database within the Replit workspace has been unveiled. Developers can provision a database in seconds via the tools panel or a new tab, without any complex separate setup.

The database specifications currently offered are as follows:

  • 10GB of storage and 100 cycles per day
  • 1 dedicated CPU and 4GB RAM
  • Powered by Neon, which provides serverless database technology

A DATABASE_URL environment variable is provided for database connections, and the SQL explorer allows users to write SQL statements directly and view data. In addition, Ghostwriter subscribers can take advantage of AI-powered SQL code completion.

The database automatically switches to sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Going forward, Replit plans to offer greater flexibility and customizable options, including storage capacity, compute configuration, and usage-based billing.
