Where to run it
Cloud, desktop, or self-host
One database, three places it can live. Pick the speed you want and move between them when you outgrow it.
What you get
Production features, free tier included
Every TypeDB database ships with the same primitives: TLS, web console, hibernation, and a real dashboard. No tiered features hidden behind a sales call.
Web IDE
Query console in the dashboard, no extra client to install.
TLS by default
All connections encrypted. No setup required.
Always-on connections
Pin a database to your always-on pool to prevent hibernation.
Scale to zero
Hibernates when idle. Wakes on the next connection.
Connection pooling
Pooled endpoint for serverless and edge workloads.
Direct connections
Bypass the pooler for migrations and replication.
Native HTTPS endpoint
Engines whose own wire protocol speaks HTTPS. Every database, including this one, is also queryable over the platform's HTTPS query API and web console.
Serverless driver
Drop-in HTTP driver for edge runtimes (Upstash REST, PlanetScale, or the engine-native client).
IP whitelisting
Restrict access to specific IPs or CIDR ranges.
Automatic backups
Scheduled dumps and volume snapshots with one-click restore on paid plans. Free tier includes a manual backup slot.
Quick start
Connect with any TypeDB client
Knowledge graphs, expressive entity-relationship modeling, reasoning over structured data, and apps that benefit from a strongly-typed schema.
- Model a knowledge graph for a domain that defeats relational normalization
- Prototype reasoning use cases (drug interactions, supply chains, fraud rings)
- Hand a TypeDB endpoint to a frontend that uses TypeDB Studio for ad-hoc analysis
- Run TypeDB locally with Layerbase Desktop, deploy the same schema to cloud
- Self-host on your own hardware with SpinDB
const driver = await TypeDB.coreDriver('your-host.cloud.layerbase.dev:1729', { username: 'admin', password: 'password' })Questions
Common TypeDB questions
Will TypeDB Studio connect?+
Yes. Point Studio at the published endpoint with the dashboard-provided credentials.
What about the TypeDB client libraries?+
Standard TypeDB clients (Python, Java, Node) connect to the published endpoint without code changes.
Schema and data load?+
The same .tql files and ingestion patterns work locally and in cloud. The dashboard query console supports schema browsing and ad-hoc TypeQL.
Is there a free tier?+
Yes. TypeDB is a Standard engine on Layerbase Cloud - included on the Free plan, it sleeps when idle and wakes on connect.
Can I run TypeDB locally?+
Yes. SpinDB and Layerbase Desktop both run TypeDB with the same workflow.
