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

Optional keep-alive add-on prevents 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.

HTTPS access

HTTP-native engines reachable over port 443.

Serverless driver

Upstash REST or PlanetScale serverless drivers supported.

IP whitelisting

Restrict access to specific IPs or CIDR ranges.

Automatic backups

Scheduled point-in-time backups with one-click restore.

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

tsTypeDB

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?+

TypeDB is a paid-tier engine on Cloud. The cost preview in the create flow shows the cost before you provision; the Free plan covers other engines for prototyping.

Can I run TypeDB locally?+

Yes. SpinDB and Layerbase Desktop both run TypeDB with the same workflow.
