# PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL support is planned. `@velastack/postgres` is not published yet. Configuration is intended to mirror the PocketBase bindings, in `hooks.server.ts`:

```ts
import { handlePostgres } from '@velastack/postgres';
import {
    POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING
} from '$env/static/private';

export const handle = handlePostgres({
    connectionString: POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING
})
```

Until then, [PocketBase](/backend/pocketbase) is the backend Vela ships with. See [@velastack/postgres](/helpers/postgres) for the package itself.
