◆ THE ENGINE

Everything you save, stays.

That’s the whole promise. No settings to get wrong, no upkeep, no surprises.

  • Ready in a minute
  • Safe by default
  • Leave anytime
✓ HOW IT WORKS

Nothing to configure. Nothing to plan.

One connection string. That's the whole setup.

The typical way
Define a schema
Decide the shape before you've written a line of app code.
Write a migration
Every change to that shape, forever, needs its own script.
Wait, hope, deploy
Run it against production and hope nothing locks up.

The Zydeco way
Connect
One connection string. No account setup ceremony.
Write
Send whatever shape your data actually is. It's stored, durably, immediately.
Done
Nothing to plan for next time either. Same three steps, every time.

? FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

01What is ZydecoDB?⌄
A document database built from scratch in Rust — not a wrapper around Postgres or Mongo. zydecodb.com is the managed version: connect and go, nothing to install or run yourself.
02Is my data durable by default?⌄
Yes, always. Every write lands on disk before it's acknowledged. There's no faster-but-riskier mode to accidentally leave on — durability isn't a setting here.
03What's it not good for?⌄
Sustained, very high write volume — thousands of writes per second, around the clock. If that's your workload, you've outgrown what a single shared node is built to handle.
04How does pricing actually work?⌄
$20/month per block of 5 databases. Every signup starts with one database included for 30 days — no card required. No per-request fees, no per-GB charges, nothing metered. Just the flat price.
05Can I migrate from Postgres?⌄
Upload your pg_dump. That's the whole migration — no mapping schemas by hand, no multi-week project.
06Does it work with my existing Redis or MongoDB code?⌄
No — it's not a drop-in swap for either. ZydecoDB has its own protocol and client libraries. If you've used Redis or Mongo, the concepts will feel familiar, but your existing client code won't connect as-is.
07What if I want to leave?⌄
The engine is source-available — read every line, run it yourself, take your data and go. You're never stuck here because we made it hard to leave.
08Can an AI agent provision a database directly?⌄
Yes, through the MCP server. A human still owns the account, the email, and the payment method — but once that's set up, an agent can create and manage databases on its own.
