Connecting to SQLite on Layerbase Cloud
Layerbase Cloud exposes SQLite through a PostgreSQL-compatible endpoint so apps can connect over the network while keeping SQLite storage semantics.
Best for: Small apps, prototypes, embedded-data workflows, and services that want a lightweight SQL database with a network endpoint.
Open your database in the dashboard
Go to /cloud, click the database you just created, and the connection panel shows the host, port, username, password, and a ready-to-paste connection string for the engine.
Use the generated Postgres-style URL from the dashboard.
TLS is required, on by default
Append ?sslmode=require to the connection string.
PostgreSQL-compatible proxy on port 5432
Use any standard client
SQLite works with the normal client family for that engine. Start with the dashboard snippet, then move the same URL and credentials into your app environment.
If your client has separate direct, pooled, TLS, or HTTP options, prefer the exact variant shown in Quick Connect.
psql "postgresql://layerbase:password@your-host.cloud.layerbase.dev:5432/sqlite1?sslmode=require"SQLite notes
- Use PostgreSQL client libraries even though the underlying engine is SQLite.
- SQLite is file-based, so it is best for compact workloads and simple operational shapes.
