What is Layerbase?

Layerbase is a managed database platform built around flat monthly pricing instead of metered billing. One account gives you 18 database engines in the cloud, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, FerretDB (MongoDB wire protocol), Valkey, DuckDB, ClickHouse, QuestDB, and InfluxDB, all managed from a single dashboard with query consoles for every engine, automatic backups, database branching, and wake-on-connect hibernation.

Plans are Free, Solo ($5/month), and Pro ($15/month). Unlimited dedicated plans exist ($35-$120/month) with no database or branch limits. All billing is unmetered. Your monthly bill is always predictable.

Free-tier databases hibernate when idle and wake on connection instead of being deleted, so side projects keep working. Pro adds features like mTLS client certificates for PostgreSQL and dedicated servers for production workloads.

The same team ships Layerbase Desktop, a macOS app for running and browsing local databases, and the Layerbase CLI on npm, which manages 21 engines locally for development, CI pipelines, and AI agents.
