Connect to database

Connect Fakebase to an existing PostgreSQL database with a connection string.

Fakebase connects to any standard PostgreSQL database. Paste your connection string once and the app keeps the connection ready across sessions.

Add a connection

  1. Open Fakebase Studio.
  2. Choose Connect to database.
  3. Paste your PostgreSQL connection string.
  4. Confirm the connection and open the studio.
Connecting to a database in Fakebase Studio

Connection string format

A typical connection string looks like this:

postgresql://user:password@host:5432/database

Supported providers

Fakebase works with any PostgreSQL-compatible host, including:

  • Supabase
  • Neon
  • Railway
  • AWS RDS
  • Self-hosted Postgres

Troubleshooting

If the connection fails, verify:

  • The database accepts connections from your IP (if required by your provider)
  • Username, password, host, and port are correct
  • SSL settings match what your provider expects

Known issues

Fakebase talks to Postgres. It cannot control how a hosted provider runs that instance, or which extra services they add on top. Such error causing features could be auth, custom data fields etc.
