6 minute read · Updated September 2026Before you start
Renviq provides managed PostgreSQL databases inside isolated projects. You need a verified Renviq account and a PostgreSQL client, framework, or application that accepts a standard connection URL.
- Use a real inbox you control; verification is required before provisioning.
- Choose a database region close to your application.
- Keep generated credentials in a secret manager or local .env file—never commit them.
1. Create and verify your account
- 1Open Sign up and create your organization.
- 2Accept the privacy and terms acknowledgement.
- 3Open the verification email from auth@renviq.com and follow the link.
- 4If it does not arrive, open Console → Security and choose Resend email.
2. Create or select a project
A project is an isolated workspace for databases, team access, usage, backups, and settings. Use separate projects for production, staging, and development.
- 1Open the project switcher at the top of the console sidebar.
- 2Choose New project, enter a name, and create it.
- 3Confirm the correct project before provisioning resources.
3. Create PostgreSQL
- 1Open Databases and choose Create database.
- 2Enter a lowercase name, region, plan, and supported PostgreSQL version.
- 3Submit and wait until the status becomes Available.
- 4Choose Connect and reveal the one-time credential only when you are ready to store it.
4. Connect
psql "$DATABASE_URL"
# Or test without psql
pg_isready -d "$DATABASE_URL"Credential security
The initial password is encrypted at rest and designed for one successful retrieval. Copy it to a secure destination immediately; rotate it if exposure is suspected.
