Built-in Database

The first backend layer for most web apps and SaaS platforms is a database. A reliable database is essential for storing, organizing, and quickly accessing the data that powers your app, from user profiles to transaction records.

Every Fine project comes with a fully-managed PostgreSQL database, a free and open source database which is considered one of the world's most stable and advanced databases.

Turning on the built-in database in Fine

In your Project, open the Actions Pane and click “Add Backend”.
Tell the Agent to update your app so that all data is stored in the database.
Try adding a new feature and watch the Agent update both the frontend and the database.
Fine will write and run SQL snippets to edit and update your database.

Why PostgreSQL?

Proven Reliability: PostgreSQL is known for its stability and performance, making it a trusted choice for managing mission-critical data in cloud-based web apps and SaaS platforms.
Advanced Features: It offers a rich set of features such as complex querying, robust security measures, and extensibility options (e.g., JSON support, custom functions), empowering developers to build sophisticated applications.
Open-Source Community: Being open-source, PostgreSQL benefits from a vibrant community that continuously improves its capabilities and ensures a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable solution.
