# 10. Database — PostgreSQL Connection, Migrations, and Seed Data
meta:
id: kordant-unified-restructure-10
feature: kordant-unified-restructure
priority: P0
depends_on: [kordant-unified-restructure-09]
tags: [backend, database, drizzle, postgres]
objective:
- Set up the database connection layer, migration tooling, and seed data for the unified monolith. Replace the current SQLite setup in `web/` with PostgreSQL, matching the production database used by the legacy `packages/db`.
deliverables:
- `web/src/server/db/index.ts` — Database connection module:
- Creates PostgreSQL connection pool using `pg` or `@neondatabase/serverless`
- Exports `db` instance initialized with Drizzle ORM
- Handles connection string from environment variables
- Graceful shutdown hook to close pool
- `web/drizzle.config.ts` — Drizzle Kit configuration:
- Points to `src/server/db/schema.ts`
- Specifies PostgreSQL dialect
- Reads database URL from env
- `web/src/server/db/migrate.ts` — Migration runner script:
- Programmatically runs pending migrations on startup
- Can be called from `entry-server.tsx` or a standalone script
- `web/src/server/db/seed.ts` — Seed script:
- Creates sample users, subscriptions, watchlist items, alerts, blog posts
- Idempotent: can be run multiple times without duplicates
- Useful for development and demo environments
- Environment configuration:
- `DATABASE_URL` in `.env` and `.env.example`
- Connection pooling settings (max connections, timeout)
steps:
1. Install dependencies in `web/`:
- `drizzle-orm`, `drizzle-kit`
- `pg` (for local/dev) or `@neondatabase/serverless` (for serverless deploy)
- `@types/pg` if using `pg`
2. Create `web/src/server/db/index.ts`:
```ts
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-postgres';
import { Pool } from 'pg';
import * as schema from './schema';
const pool = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL });
export const db = drizzle(pool, { schema });
```
3. Update `web/drizzle.config.ts`:
```ts
import { defineConfig } from 'drizzle-kit';
export default defineConfig({
schema: './src/server/db/schema.ts',
out: './drizzle',
dialect: 'postgresql',
dbCredentials: { url: process.env.DATABASE_URL! },
});
```
4. Create `web/src/server/db/migrate.ts`:
- Import `migrate` from `drizzle-orm/node-postgres/migrator`
- Run migrations from `./drizzle` folder
- Log success or error
5. Create `web/src/server/db/seed.ts`:
- Use `db.insert()` to populate tables
- Create: 2-3 users, 1 family group, 2 subscriptions (basic + premium), 3-5 watchlist items, 2-3 exposures, 5-10 alerts, 3 blog posts, 2 property watchlist items, 1 removal request
- Use deterministic IDs or check for existing data before inserting
6. Add `db:migrate`, `db:generate`, `db:push`, `db:seed` scripts to `web/package.json`.
7. Create `.env.example` in `web/` with `DATABASE_URL=postgresql://...`
8. Test locally:
- Start PostgreSQL (Docker or local install)
- Run `pnpm db:generate` to create migration SQL
- Run `pnpm db:push` to apply schema
- Run `pnpm db:seed` to populate data
- Verify tables exist with correct data using `psql` or a GUI tool
9. Update `web/src/server/db/schema.ts` from task 09 if any adjustments are needed based on migration output.
steps:
- Integration: `pnpm db:generate` produces valid SQL
- Integration: `pnpm db:push` creates all tables in local PostgreSQL
- Integration: `pnpm db:seed` populates tables without errors
- Integration: Application can query seeded data via `db.select()`
acceptance_criteria:
- [ ] `web/src/server/db/index.ts` exports a working Drizzle `db` instance
- [ ] `drizzle.config.ts` is correctly configured for PostgreSQL
- [ ] `pnpm db:generate` creates migration files in `web/drizzle/`
- [ ] `pnpm db:push` applies schema to a PostgreSQL database successfully
- [ ] `pnpm db:seed` populates all relevant tables with sample data
- [ ] The app can perform `db.select().from(users)` and return seeded users
- [ ] Environment variables are documented in `.env.example`
validation:
- `cd web && pnpm db:generate` — check `drizzle/` folder for SQL files
- `cd web && pnpm db:push` — verify tables created via `psql -d kordant -c "\dt"`
- `cd web && pnpm db:seed` — verify data exists via `psql -d kordant -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users;"`
- Create a temporary test route that queries `db.select().from(users)` and renders results
notes:
- The legacy project used Prisma + PostgreSQL in production. We are keeping PostgreSQL but switching to Drizzle ORM.
- For local development, Docker Compose with PostgreSQL is recommended:
```yaml
services:
postgres:
image: postgres:16-alpine
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: kordant
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: kordant
POSTGRES_DB: kordant
ports:
- "5432:5432"
```
- If deploying to Vercel/Netlify serverless, use `@neondatabase/serverless` instead of `pg`.
- Migration files should be committed to git so all environments run the same migrations.
- The seed script should be idempotent. Use `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` or check existence before inserting.
