Using EdgeDB Cloud via the web GUI​

Instances​

If this is your first time accessing EdgeDB Cloud, this list will be empty. To create an instance, click “Create new instance.” This will pop up a modal allowing you to name your instance and specify the version of EdgeDB and the region for the instance.

Once the instance has been created, you’ll see the instance dashboard which allows you to monitor your instance, navigate to the management page for its branches, and create secret keys.

You’ll also see instructions in the bottom-right for linking your EdgeDB CLI to your EdgeDB Cloud account. You do this by running the CLI command edgedb cloud login. This will make all of your EdgeDB Cloud instances accessible via the CLI. You can manage them just as you would other remote EdgeDB instances.

If you want to manage a branch of your database, click through on the instance’s name from the top right of the instance dashboard. If you just created a database, the branch management view will be mostly empty except for a button offering to create a sample branch. Once you have a schema created and some data in a database, this view will offer you similar tools to those in our local UI.

You’ll be able to access a REPL, edit complex queries or build them graphically, inspect your schema, and browse your data.

Org Settings​

This tab allows you to add GitHub organizations for which you are an admin. If you don’t see your organization’s name here, you may need to update your org settings in GitHub to allow EdgeDB Cloud to read your list of organizations, and then refresh the org list.

Billing​

On this page you can manage your account type and payment methods, and set your email for receiving billing info. Optionally, you can also save your payment info using Link, Stripe’s fast-checkout solution.
