Setting up a local database

Hosted DB on Neon

  1. Sign in to Neon using your GitHub account (or an account you create via email or other forms of authentication)

    • If it asks you to create a team, create one with any name

  2. When logged in, click Create new project

  3. Enter a name for your new database instance, choose PG 16, AWS hosting and the minimal size for the DB. This will be your PRIMARY database

  4. Repeat the same steps to create a second database, this time give it the same name but add -shadow to the end. This will be your SHADOW database

  5. Copy the DB Connection strings for each database. a) open the Database Project; b) visit the Quickstart page; c) Click Posgres and then click Copy snippet

  6. In your .env file, paste the connection strings, making sure you keep the ?sslmode=require&schema=prisma and ?sslmode=require&schema=shadow at the end of the connection string.

Local DB via Docker

See Docker's official guide on using the Postgres Docker image.
