No database server to manage, no infrastructure to provision. Just SQL. [Start Building](https://telnyx.com/sign-up)[CONTACT US](https://telnyx.com/contact-us) WHY TELNYX ## Build on one platform, not a stack of vendors. Compute, storage, database, inference, and telecom on one account, one API, one bill. SQLDB is the relational data layer, connected through bindings, not API calls. * ### One platform, one bill Functions, KV, CloudFS, Object Storage, and Inference on a single account. SQLDB is the relational data layer. No external database vendor in the path. * ### One runtime, no glue code Query SQLDB, read from CloudFS, call inference, and send a message through the telecom API in the same request. No SDK per service, no glue code between layers. * ### Built for real-time agents Agents that need to call models, store state, and query data in real time. SQLDB gives them a relational database through a binding, no connection string, no network hop. FEATURES ## SQL without the database server Create a database in one command. Bind it in your config. Query it from TypeScript or from the CLI. No provisioning, no sizing, no connection pool to manage. * Zero-credential edge access Your functions reach SQLDB directly through a typed env binding. No connection string, no network hop, no API key. The database is available the moment your function runs. * REST API and CLI Query any database from the terminal or over HTTP without deploying a function. Create databases, apply migrations, inspect data, run backfills. Same data, no deploy cycle. * SQLite you already know Full SQLite query surface. SELECT, JOIN, aggregate, GROUP BY, secondary indexes. If you know SQL, you know SQLDB. No proprietary query language, no dialect to learn. * Shared by every function that binds it One database, many functions. Create it once, bind it by id, and every function that needs the data can query it. A row written by one function is visible to the next request from any other. * Schema before code Create a database, apply schema from the CLI, then ship a function that binds it. Your schema exists before any code runs. Migrations are versioned and applied from the terminal. * Colocated with compute and inference Your database runs on the same infrastructure as your functions and your models. No cross-provider latency. No egress fee for querying your own data. No failure boundary between your code and your database. HOW IT WORKS ## Query in three steps Create a database from the CLI, bind it in your config, and query it from your function through a typed env binding. No server to size, no connection pool to manage. [Read the docs](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/edge-compute/sqldb) Create a database ``` telnyx-edge storage sqldb create --name my-app-db telnyx-edge storage sqldb execute --remote \ --command "CREATE TABLE links ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, slug TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, target TEXT NOT NULL )" ``` Bind it in your config ``` # telnyx.toml [storage.sqldb.DB] id = "" ``` Query from your function ``` import { env } from "@telnyx/edge-runtime"; export default { async fetch(req: Request): Promise { const link = await env.DB .prepare("SELECT * FROM links WHERE slug = ?") .bind("docs") .first(); return Response.json(link); }, }; ``` Create a databaseBind it in your configQuery from your function BINDINGS ## What SQLDB connects to on the platform. SQLDB is the relational data layer for Edge Compute. Every function that binds a database can query it through env with zero credentials. The CLI and REST API reach the same data without deploying anything. * [![Functions hero visual](https://us-central-1.telnyxcloudstorage.com/aimarketingmaterials/Product-Hero_Functions_2x---aafa44a8-5b26-4d84-902b-9059dc6a0db7.png)FunctionsEdge functions query SQLDB through a typed env binding.
