The integration automatically injects credentials into your projects as environment variables. ## Why use Marketplace storage When you install a storage integration from the Marketplace, you get: - **Simplified provisioning**: Create databases without leaving the Vercel dashboard - **Automatic configuration**: Vercel injects connection strings and credentials as [environment variables](/docs/environment-variables) - **Unified billing**: Pay for storage resources through your Vercel account ## Available storage integrations ## Getting started To add a storage integration to your project: 1. Go to the [Vercel Marketplace](https://vercel.com/marketplace?category=storage) and browse storage integrations 2. Select an integration and click **Install** 3. Choose a pricing plan that fits your needs 4. Configure your database (name, region, and other options) 5. Connect the storage resource to your Vercel project Once connected, the integration automatically adds environment variables to your project. You can then use these variables in your application code to connect to your database. For detailed steps, see [Add a Native Integration](/docs/integrations/install-an-integration/product-integration). ### Managing storage integrations After installation, you can manage your storage resources from the Vercel dashboard: - **View connected projects**: See which projects use each storage resource - **Monitor usage**: Track storage consumption and costs - **Update configuration**: Modify settings or upgrade plans - **Access provider dashboard**: Link directly to the provider's management interface - [**Browse and query your database**](#browsing-and-querying-your-database): For supported Postgres integrations, run queries, edit data, and inspect your schema directly from the dashboard - **Transfer resources**: For supported integrations, [move a resource to a different team](/docs/integrations/install-an-integration/product-integration#transfer-a-resource-to-another-team) For more details, see [Manage Native Integrations](/docs/integrations/install-an-integration/product-integration#manage-native-integrations). ## Browsing and querying your database For supported Marketplace Postgres integrations, you can run SQL queries, view and edit data, and inspect your database schema directly from the Vercel dashboard. You no longer need external tools like `psql` or third-party database UIs. This feature is available for the following integrations: - [AWS Aurora Postgres](/marketplace/aws/aws-apg) - [Neon](/marketplace/neon) - [Prisma Postgres](/marketplace/prisma) - [Supabase](/marketplace/supabase) Support for more integrations will be added over time. ### Accessing the database browser To access the database browser: 1. Open your project in the Vercel dashboard 2. Navigate to the **Storage** tab and select your database resource 3. Go to the **Browser** section of the database page You need **Owner** permissions to access the database browser. ### Query editor The **Query** tab lets you run SQL queries and view results in a table. You can copy results as CSV, JSON, or Markdown for use in other tools. ### Data editor The **Data** tab displays your table data in a spreadsheet-like interface where you can: - Sort rows - Copy cell values - Edit data - Insert new rows - Delete rows When you confirm your changes, the data editor applies them to the database as a single transaction. ### Schema viewer The **Schema** tab shows your tables and their relations in a visual graph layout. Use it to understand your database structure without writing queries. ## Choosing a storage solution Consider these factors when selecting a storage provider: | Factor | Considerations | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Data model** | Relational (Postgres) for structured data, key-value (Redis) for caching, NoSQL for flexible schemas, vector for AI embeddings | | **Common use cases** | Postgres for [ACID transactions](# "What are ACID transactions?"), complex queries, and foreign keys. Redis for session storage, rate limiting, and leaderboards. Vector for semantic search and recommendations. NoSQL for document storage, high write throughput, and horizontal scaling | | **Latency requirements** | Choose providers with regions close to your [Functions](/docs/functions/configuring-functions/region) | | **Scale** | Evaluate pricing tiers and scaling capabilities for your expected workload | | **Features** | Compare provider-specific features like branching, point-in-time recovery, or real-time subscriptions | ## Best practices - **Locate data close to your Functions:** Deploy databases in [regions](/docs/functions/configuring-functions/region) near your Functions to minimize latency. - **Use connection pooling:** In serverless environments, use [connection pooling](/kb/guide/connection-pooling-with-functions) (e.g., built-in pooling or PgBouncer) to manage database connections efficiently. - **Implement caching strategies:** - [Data Cache](/docs/runtime-cache/data-cache) to cache fetch responses and reduce load - [Edge Config](/docs/edge-config) for low-latency reads of config data - Redis for frequently accessed, periodically changing data - CDN caching with [cache headers](/docs/cdn-cache) for static content - **Secure your connections:** - Store credentials only in [environment variables](/docs/environment-variables), never in code - Use SSL/TLS connections when available ## More resources - [Add a Native Integration](/docs/integrations/install-an-integration/product-integration) - [Integrations Overview](/docs/integrations) - [Environment Variables](/docs/environment-variables) - [Functions Regions](/docs/functions/configuring-functions/region) --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap)
