Field notes
DBNow presents a deliberately small control surface: an API key, a database name, a TTL, and optionally an allowed CIDR produce an isolated PostgreSQL connection. The documented lifetime range runs from 1 minute to 30 days, while the status checker distinguishes an active database from a deleted one and can show the deletion timestamp. The page also provides a copyable curl example and lists automatic removal of both the database and its role.
