What Outerbase was

Outerbase was a collaborative database interface for browsing tables, writing SQL, generating queries and charts with AI, and building lightweight dashboards across several database systems.

Cloudflare acquired Outerbase and began bringing its data-exploration ideas into the Cloudflare developer platform. The open-source Outerbase Studio project remains available for self-hosting, but it is not the former hosted SaaS product.

Past capabilities

What Outerbase offered

Table and data editor

Presented database records in a spreadsheet-like interface for browsing and controlled edits.

AI-assisted SQL

Queries and dashboards

Let teams save, share, visualize, and discuss database queries in one workspace.

Data catalog

Availability

Why this listing is historical

The former hosted Outerbase cloud is no longer sold. The remaining Outerbase Studio code is open source under AGPL-3.0, with any hosting and operations costs handled by the user.

  • The hosted Outerbase cloud and its commercial plans are no longer available
  • The open-source Studio project is not a drop-in continuation of every former SaaS feature
  • Self-hosting requires users to secure database credentials, access, backups, upgrades, and infrastructure
