# Databases

> Managed database to create and administer data collections without worrying about infrastructure

## What is Databases?

**Databases** is Jelou's managed database solution that lets you create and administer data collections directly from your browser. You don't need to configure servers, manage replicas, or worry about auto-scaling — everything is managed automatically.

With Databases you can store structured information (customers, products, orders, etc.) and connect it with your Brain Studio flows, external APIs, or AI tools via MCP.

From **Settings > General** you can configure:

* **Database name** — The identifier for your Databases instance
* **Batch operations** — Enable bulk selection and deletion of records in collections
* **Regional settings** — Timezone used for exports and date formatting (UTC by default)

<Warning>
  In the **Danger Zone** section you can permanently delete the database and all its data. This action cannot be undone.
