- Select your framework or create a custom deployment. We support:
- Static Sites: Next.js, React, Vue.js, Svelte, etc.
- Backend Services: Express.js, Node.js, PHP, or custom configurations.

4. Set Up Your Database
Easily create and manage serverless databases for your project:
- From your Project Dashboard, click Create Database.
- Choose your database type (currently supporting PostgreSQL and MongoDB).
