seedkit revive

Provision a fresh ephemeral Postgres from a cached seed — even after the original DB is gone.

Resurrects an ephemeral DB by re-provisioning a new Neon project and replaying the cached seed into it. Useful when a TTL has expired but you need the same dataset back.

Synopsis

seedkit revive <name|key>

Example

seedkit revive crm-demo

Provisioning Postgres... ✓ ready in 4.1s
Replaying cached SQL...  ✓ 14,820 rows in 1.4s

Your database is live — expires in 60 min:
postgres://user:••••@ep-warm-pine-2103.eu.neon.tech/seedkit_b8c9

The new DB has a new connection string — same data, different host. The original is gone.

Options

Flag	Type	Default	Description
`--ttl <duration>`	duration	tier-default	Override TTL for the new DB.
`--region <code>`	string	original	Provision in a different region.
`--env`	flag	off	Write the new `DATABASE_URL` to `.env.local`.

When to use it

TTL expired before you were done with the data.
You destroyed a DB but need the same data back.
You want to spin up a teammate's saved seed locally.
