Data Platform
Every Shorebird workspace includes a production-ready relational database, a clear open interface, and the tools to inspect and evolve data without losing context.
Postgres or PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL grew from a university research project and became the durable open database teams rely on today. The shorter name, Postgres, is the one most people use in conversation.
Shorebird keeps the familiar model while giving teams a more approachable way to work with schemas, relationships, extensions, and access controls.
