The swarmctl CLI lets you create, connect to, and manage ephemeral databases directly from your terminal. Authenticate once, then spin up databases in seconds.

What is swarmctl?

swarmctl provisions sandboxed, ephemeral PostgreSQL databases that run on lightweight VMs and boot in milliseconds. Perfect for AI agents, CI, testing, and development.

[x]
Instant New databases are created and available instantly.
[x]
Ephemeral Databases auto-destroy after TTL expires (default 1 hour).
[x]
Auto-hibernation Idle databases sleep after 30s, wake instantly on connection.
[x]
Sandboxed Each database runs in its own isolated VM with up to 100GB storage.
[x]
PostgreSQL 17 Full-featured PostgreSQL with all extensions.
[x]
Superuser access You're the postgres superuser. Install extensions, create roles, do anything.
[x]
Dual access Connect with any Postgres client or REST API (PostgREST).
[x]
CLI + Dashboard Manage from terminal or web. API access for programmatic control.

Built for agents

Just-in-time cloud databases for AI agents. Give your agents a fresh database for each task. Isolated, disposable, and automatically cleaned up. No more shared state, no more cleanup scripts.

[x]
Swarm-ready Spin up databases for a swarm of agents to coordinate through shared state.
[x]
Per-task isolation Each agent gets its own sandbox. No cross-contamination between runs.
[x]
Zero cleanup Databases self-destruct when done. No orphaned resources.
