FAQ

Do I need an account?

No. The CE quickstart runs the gateway and Postgres locally without signup, an API key, or a license key.

Where are my rows stored?

In the local Postgres Docker volume, or in the existing store you configure. docker compose down stops the local services and keeps the volume.

Can I use Turbopuffer?

Yes. Configure an existing account and use its key for inbound authentication. See configuration and store support.

What is the source license?

The gateway uses BSL 1.1. See licensing for the source license and trademark links.

Who built Layer?

Adam Hevenor. Layer is a hev mind product.
