Every app you build with Genie needs somewhere to store data, handle sign-ins, and run server-side logic. Genie Cloud is the hosted backend that provides all of that without any setup on your part. When you enable it for a project, Genie provisions a dedicated backend instance for that project and wires it into the app automatically.

​
What Genie Cloud includes

Database

A fully managed relational database. Genie AI creates and updates tables as your app grows. You never have to write a query or touch a database config.

User authentication

Sign-up and sign-in flows for your app’s visitors. Supports email, anonymous sessions, and OAuth providers such as Google.

File storage

Buckets for images, attachments, and any other files your app needs to store. Buckets can be public or private.

Edge functions

Server-side logic deployed close to your users. Genie AI writes and deploys these when your app requires backend processing.
Genie Cloud also includes automatic backups and usage tracking, so your data is always protected and you can monitor how your app is growing.

​
Enabling Genie Cloud

Genie Cloud is available on all paid plans. If your project does not have it enabled yet, you will see an Enable Genie Cloud button in the Cloud tab.
1

Open your project settings

From your project, open Settings and navigate to the Cloud tab.
2

Enable Genie Cloud

Click Enable Genie Cloud. Genie will begin provisioning your backend instance. The status badge changes to provisioning while this happens — it typically completes within a few minutes.
3

Wait for activation

Once provisioning finishes, the status badge changes to active and all resources become visible in the Cloud tab.
Genie Cloud is included in all paid plans. If you are on the free plan, upgrading will unlock the Enable Genie Cloud button.

​
What the Cloud tab shows

Once Genie Cloud is active, the Cloud tab gives you a live overview of your project’s backend.

​
Status and plan summary

At the top of the tab you will see six summary cards:
CardWhat it shows
StatusCurrent state of your Cloud instance: active, provisioning, deprovisioning, suspended, or deleted
PlanThe plan tier your Cloud instance is running on
TablesTotal number of database tables Genie has created for this project
Edge functionsTotal number of deployed edge functions
Auth usersTotal number of registered and anonymous users
Storage bucketsTotal number of file storage buckets

​
Instance overview

Below the summary cards, the Instance overview section shows your project’s connection details: the project URL, project reference ID, region, and the timestamps for when the instance was created and last updated.

​
Connection keys

The Connection keys section shows whether each credential is configured — the anon key, service key, and database password each display a Configured or Missing badge. The actual secret values stay masked for security.

​
Detected resources

Further down, the Detected resources section lists up to eight items from each category: database tables, edge functions, auth users, and storage buckets. If your project has more than eight in any category, a note at the bottom tells you how many more exist.

​
Advanced options

At the bottom of the Cloud tab, the Advanced section contains a Re-run bootstrap button. Use this to re-sync your Genie Cloud configuration after changing onboarding or private mode settings, or to upgrade an existing project to the latest Genie Cloud version. The bootstrap is fully safe to run at any time — it does not delete any data.
If you change your onboarding flow or private mode settings in the Onboarding tab, click Re-run bootstrap afterwards to apply those changes to your live Cloud instance.
