Database Bridging (Sharing)

One of DBStudio's most powerful features is the ability to bridge a local database (like SQLite or a local PostgreSQL container) to your Team Workspace securely. This allows your team to access local environments without complex VPNs or tunnel setups.

How it works

1. Generate a Token: Log in to the DBStudio Dashboard and generate a Connection Token for your workspace.
2. Start the Bridge: Run the DBStudio CLI on your local machine:

   dbstudio connect --token <your-token>

3. Team Access: Once the bridge is active, the database appears in the Shared Connections section of your Team Workspace. Teammates can now query and visualize the data directly through the web interface.

Use Cases

• Collaborative Debugging: Share a specific database state with a teammate for instant pair-programming.
• QA & Testing: Allow QA engineers to test against your local development data before it's pushed to a staging environment.
• Edge Data Access: Bridge databases running in private networks or local containers to the cloud for analysis.
