Welcome

Shard is a new kind of data workspace: part terminal, part dashboard, part playground. It pairs managed Postgres databases (one per Shard) with a modern visual interface for managing tables, creating automations, and building charts. You can provision a cloud shard or bring your own Postgres soon.

What is Shard?

Shard gives you a flexible environment to:

• Store and manage data in Postgres tables with a spreadsheet-like interface
• Automate workflows with event-driven rules that respond to data changes
• Visualize trends using interactive charts and dashboards
• Query directly with full SQL support when you need it

Think of it as your personal data workspace—whether you’re prototyping an app, tracking metrics, or building custom workflows.

Getting Started

Here are some of the features you can explore:

Tables Create and manage tables with a visual interface. Add rows, edit cells, paginate through data, and filter with a query builder. Backed by Postgres.

Automations Build event-driven workflows that trigger actions when your data changes. Send webhooks, create rows, and chain complex logic using visual rules.

Charts Visualize your data with line charts. Track metrics over time, compare multiple series, and monitor trends in real-time.

Export Back up your entire Shard as a Postgres‑compatible SQL file. Export your data at any time for safekeeping or migration.

Documentation Status

This is an early version of the Shard documentation. We’re actively building out more guides, tutorials, and reference material. If something is unclear or missing, we’d love to hear from you.

More topics coming soon:

• Feeds and data ingestion
• Query panel and SQL interface
• API access and integrations
• Advanced automation patterns
• Performance optimization
