Overview

Your database's main dashboard for a quick health check without digging through settings.

Quick Status Check

At the top, you'll see your database's name and status at a glance. The info card shows eight fields in a grid:

FieldDescription
StatusWhether your database is Running, Provisioning, Failed, or another state. Green means everything's good.
DatabaseThe type and version.
ContainersHow many container instances are running.
Instance SizeThe name of your instance tier.
RegionWhere your database is deployed.
TypeStandalone for single instances or Replicaset for high-availability across multiple nodes.
StorageHow much disk space is allocated.
Instance DetailsThe actual resource specs for your instance.

Credentials

Your database connection details appear in the Credentials section below the info card.

Admin User Is for Administration Only

The admin user is a SUPER user and should only be used for administrative actions, not in applications. Create application-specific users with access to specific databases for your app connections.

Each credential field has two icons on the right: an eye icon to reveal the value, and a copy icon to copy it directly to your clipboard without revealing it.

  • Username: Your admin username, masked by default.
  • Password: Your admin password, masked by default.
  • Connection String: The complete connection URL to use in your app's environment variables. The format varies by database type (e.g., mongodb://..., postgres://..., redis://...).
