# Layerbase

> Layerbase provides managed cloud databases across 18 engines
> (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, DuckDB, libSQL, Redis, Valkey,
> FerretDB, ClickHouse, and more) with scale-to-zero: most databases
> sleep when idle and wake on connect in a few seconds. MySQL and
> MariaDB wake on connect too, but cold-start in about 20 seconds, so
> allow a 30 second client connect timeout. The Performance engines
> (ClickHouse, QuestDB, Qdrant, Weaviate, InfluxDB) and TigerBeetle run
> always-on and never sleep. Free tier available. Also ships a
> desktop app and the layerbase CLI for local and cloud database
> management, a REST API, and an installable skill for AI agents.

> This file is the curated map. The full expansion (every published post,
> every doc page, every marketing page) is at https://layerbase.com/llms-full.txt.
> Every blog post is also served as raw markdown at
> https://layerbase.com/blog/<slug>.md, and new posts are announced on the RSS
> feed at https://layerbase.com/blog/rss.xml.
