LokaDB documentation¶
LokaDB is a Postgres proxy that keeps the rows of the organizations you choose in each organization's own Postgres, and everything else in your cloud database. Your application keeps one connection string and the SQL it sends today. An organization moves out, and back, online, while the application writes.
LokaDB is early. The core is complete for its supported scope and is tested end to end with unmodified Laravel, Django and Go applications; it has not yet run a production customer, and we suggest it for a limited pilot on a compatible application. What is supported, and what is not yet is stated plainly.
Start here¶
- New to LokaDB? Read what it is and how it works, then run the quickstart: one command starts a complete small setup and moves an organization out while an application keeps writing. Or open the online demo, nothing to install.
- Adopting it for an application? Follow the adoption path: check, then enable and move. Read the limits before you promise a customer anything.
- Looking for a flag or a setting? The command line reference and the configuration files are generated and checked against the program.
- Running it in production? The tunnel, status and monitoring, restarts and upgrades.
