Overview
Storing, maintaining, and manipulating data is at the heart of many applications. While Fastgen enables you to connect external databases like Supabase, we wanted to give our own hosted Postgres database a bit more love in case you prefer having everything you need for your backend in one place.
So, what have we added to the Fastgen database?
Additional database types
We now natively support most of the data types Postgres supports. Most importantly, you can store JSON directly in the DB.
Foreign keys
Many people have asked for this, you can finally connect multiple tables with each other through foreign keys. This will enable you to build more complex applications and create your data structure in the most efficient way.
UI updates
We made it easier for you to edit large data sets in the database and shipped some UI improvements for the database tables.
While we are talking about databases. Keep your eye out for native integrations with external databases like Supabase and Neon that are on the roadmap.
This marks the final day of our first Fastgen launch week. We hope you enjoyed it.
