We’re joining Cloudflare

We’re thrilled to announce that the Outerbase team is joining Cloudflare.

We started Outerbase because databases were hard. The learning curve was incredibly steep before you could even look at your data. Our goal was to make data easy, accessible, and usable. We built the world’s most intuitive database platform and we couldn’t have done it without all of your support. Thank you.

We actually began talking to the Cloudflare team almost exactly a year ago, but that was around partnering on a D1 integration. Since then we’ve gone much deeper. We have become huge fans of Cloudflare’s developer platform and heavily use Workers and Durable Objects to power Outerbase, Commands, Starbase and more.

Now we can bring our ideas to Cloudflare’s edge. They are quite literally the backbone of the Internet, so anything we ship there reaches farther and runs faster. It also lets us pour all our energy into the parts you touch: queries, tables, and a clean UI, letting Cloudflare do all of the heavy lifting.

Here’s what to expect:

Nothing is breaking today. Your workspaces keep running as usual.

Hosted Outerbase cloud stays online until 15 Oct 2025.

Outerbase remains open‑source. You can self‑host anytime.

Here’s what gets better:

Our table explorer, query editor, and more will move into the Cloudflare dashboard for D1, Durable Objects and other data products.

We’re working on improving the developer experience across their entire platform.

D1 will gain the Starbase’s REST API generation, WebSockets, and query hooks.

Some of this work has already begun. You’ll see the first pieces in the coming days, weeks, and months. We’ll be building in public like usual, posting progress on Twitter and in the Cloudflare Discord.

The mission is still the same: make data simple. Now we have more reach and more fuel.

Thank you for being a part of the journey.
