Getting started
Sahabti provisions managed open-source engines — databases, caches, and brokers — in about 75 seconds. This guide takes you from zero to a running instance.
1. Create an account
Sign up at sahabti.com — free for developers and the community, no credit card required. Signing up creates a personal workspace, and its private network is created for you the first time you launch something into it.
2. Launch your first service
From the dashboard, open Resources → New and pick an engine — PostgreSQL 17, MySQL 8.4, MariaDB 11, Valkey 8, Memcached, or RabbitMQ — and a size. Sahabti provisions the container, wires it into your workspace's isolated private network, and publishes a public endpoint for it automatically.
The catalog also lists the engines that aren't live yet; those render as Coming soon and can't be selected.
Every instance you launch is carved out of your account's shared quota (vCPU, memory, disk) — no per-service bill to manage. The Free tier's quota fits a couple of lightweight instances; upgrade when you outgrow it.
3. Connect
Once the instance is running, its connection details are on the instance page: host, port, username, password, and a ready-to-copy connection URI. Watch it get there live — the provisioning log streams each step as it happens.
