PostgreSQL Bootstrap

Lariba Cloud uses PostgreSQL for persistent application data.

This page covers local development only.

Create a local database

Create a development database with the PostgreSQL tools available on your machine. For example:

createdb lariba_cloud_dev

Choose a local database name that is clearly separated from staging and production.

Point the local backend at the development database through your local environment configuration.

Do not place database credentials in documentation or source control.

Before running migrations, confirm that PostgreSQL is running and that the backend can reach the intended local database.

If the connection fails, see Troubleshooting.
