The best way to
run Gel
Gel Cloud is a fully managed, effortless cloud database service, engineered to let you deploy your database instantly and connect from anywhere with near-zero configuration.
Cloud built for developers
We refused to cut corners: our cloud is fully integrated into the Gel toolchain and has a beautiful UI to match.
Easy deploy
First, generate a secret key. Second, create environment variables with the key and the instance name where your backend runs.
Enjoy Gel
It's everything you love about Gel: type safety, built-in migrations, intuitive data modeling, and more. But leave the infrastructure to us!
Just a click away
Gel Cloud comes with a UI for managing your cloud database, including tools like the Data Editor, Schema Browser, and Web REPL, effectively making it a cloud data IDE.
Seamless resilience
Gel features a state-of-the-art network protocol and client libraries.
This vertical integration enables us to offer unique features unmatched by any other cloud database.
Don't let your backend blink.
Uninterruptible connection
Our client libraries automatically reconnect if the network connection to the database drops for any reason. Read-only queries are also automatically retried.
Builtin connection pooling
Client-side connection pools are transparently configured, scaled, and maintained. Meanwhile, built-in server-side connection pooling ensures balanced access across your backend.
Robust transactions
Gel uses serializable transactions—the highest transaction isolation level. Our client-side query and transaction API automatically retry operations if a serialization error occurs.
One API to rule them all
Since we designed our library APIs from scratch, we made sure they're similar across all supported languages. Learn the TypeScript API, and you're pretty much set with Python, too. It's that kind of deal.
Secure by default
The Gel protocol is secure by default and requires TLS. Naturally every Gel Cloud instance comes with a free, trusted TLS certificate. Our client APIs and tooling are built to work with TLS from the ground up.
Integrated auth
Ready to build authentication for your new app all over again? If not, check out our built-in authentication extension. It's part of the open-source Gel and works seamlessly with Gel Cloud.
