The GA version of Netlify DB launches the week of April 20, 2026, bringing many significant improvements and it won’t require installing an extension anymore.

The move from the beta experience to the GA database experience is not automatic, and is not required. We will publish detailed instructions for anyone wishing to migrate. There will be no required switch or migration, no loss of data, and no sudden charges for anyone using an already-created database with the beta experience.

Starting today, April 13, 2026, you cannot create new databases using the beta Netlify DB experience. You can still claim existing databases to your own Neon account.

If you created a database in the past week, recall from the Netlify DB beta docs that you must claim your database within 7 days through your own Neon account or the the database will be automatically deleted. Learn more in our docs on claiming your database.
