Data & users

Shipping the app is only the beginning — data keeps piling up. This chapter covers where your data lives and where to find it.

Your data lives in three places

In the "Data" group of the "More" panel:

Tab What it stores Typical contents
Database Structured tables and records User-submitted forms, articles, orders, check-in records
Storage Files uploaded by users Avatars, attachments, generated images
Users Accounts created through the app's sign-in The app's own user list

All of it is live: when a visitor submits a message in the app, the row appears in the Database tab immediately.

Purely static apps don't have these

Pages like company websites, landing pages, and portfolios usually don't need a database, so "Database / Users" will be empty. Want your app to store things? Just say it in the chat:

It will create the tables and write the APIs automatically — after that, these tabs will have data.

Storage limit and expansion

Apps hosted on the platform have a default 2GB storage limit (database, storage, and user data combined). As you approach the limit, deployments may be restricted; check usage and buy more under "More → Data":

Expansion tier Cost
2–5GB 150 credits / 30 days
5–10GB 400 credits / 30 days

If you'd rather not pay, you can also move the data out to your own Cloudflare resources — ask the AI in the chat to help with the migration.
