Spin Up Databases & Observability in Seconds with Shard

Most teams still spend minutes (sometimes hours) wiring databases and observability.

We thought that was… unnecessary.

With Shard, you can spin up production-ready infra in seconds — using just a few prompts or clicks.

⚡ Launch instantly

From a single flow, you can bring up:

PostgreSQL
MySQL
SQLite
SQL Server Express
MongoDB
Redis
Grafana
Prometheus

No manual setup. No tool juggling. No YAML nightmares.

🔄 Built-in sync & CDC

For PostgreSQL and MySQL, Shard includes:

Schema sync
Data sync
Change Data Capture (CDC)

All powered by a flow-based architecture — design your data workflows visually and run them reliably.

🧠 Not just provisioning

Shard also gives you:

Monitoring
Organization & team management
Unified control plane

Because spinning things up is easy — operating them safely is the hard part.

*Infrastructure shouldn’t be the bottleneck.
*

We’re building Shard to make databases and observability move at the speed of your product. We look forward to your feedback.

I tried the product and it's really good. I created a PostgreSQL DB quickly and it worked. Does it have Elasticsearch?

No, ElasticSearch isn't currently available. We don't know what will happen in the future. we need to review ES's licensing terms.

If you choose Shard as your provider for databases, you'll get 1GB; if you choose Neon, you'll get 500MB.
