Create an EdgeDB Cloud Account:

Go to and create an account if you don't have one.

Set Up an EdgeDB Instance:

Once logged in, set up a new EdgeDB instance.

Get Your EdgeDB Keys:

After creating the instance, you will receive the following keys:

  1. EDGEDB_INSTANCE

  2. EDGEDB_SECRET_KEY

Update Your .env File:

Add the keys to your .env file in your project directory:

EDGEDB_INSTANCE=your_instance_id
