Add-on Services
Build’s marketplace (build.io/add-ons) offers managed services—databases, caches, search, email, and AI inference—that you can attach to any app. For a walkthrough of provisioning add-ons from the dashboard, see Databases & Add-ons.
Catalog
Section titled “Catalog”Add-ons fall into two billing groups:
- Build.io add-ons run on Build’s infrastructure and are billed on your Build.io subscription. They draw from your bundled add-on credits before à la carte billing applies.
- Partner add-ons are provisioned through Build but provided and billed separately by the partner. They don’t appear on your Build.io invoice and aren’t covered by enterprise add-on credits.

PostgreSQL | GA |
| CacheToGo | cache-to-go |

The CLI name is what you pass to addons:create.
Provisioning an add-on
Section titled “Provisioning an add-on”$ bld addons:create schema-to-go:basic -a my-appThe argument is service:plan. Once provisioned, the add-on’s connection details are set as config vars on your app automatically (for example, DATABASE_URL for schema-to-go), and your dynos restart to pick them up.
Optional flags let you customize the addon at creation time:
$ bld addons:create cache-to-go:premium-0 -a my-app --name my-cache --config MAXMEMORY_POLICY=allkeys-lruListing and inspecting add-ons
Section titled “Listing and inspecting add-ons”$ bld addons -a my-app -j | jq '.[] | {name, plan: .plan.name, state}'$ bld addons:info my-addon-name -jAttaching an add-on to another app
Section titled “Attaching an add-on to another app”Add-ons aren’t limited to the app that provisioned them—attach an existing add-on to share it across multiple apps (for example, one Postgres instance shared between a customer-facing app and an admin app):
$ bld addons:attach my-addon-name -a other-appDetach by attachment ID (find it via bld addons:info):
$ bld addons:detach ATTACHMENT_IDRemoving an add-on
Section titled “Removing an add-on”$ bld addons:destroy my-addon-name -a my-appThis permanently deletes the underlying resource (database, cache, etc.) along with its data. There’s no confirmation prompt when scripted, so double-check the addon name before running this against a production app.
Plans and pricing
Section titled “Plans and pricing”The prices below are list prices, per month. The provisioning name in each table is the service:plan argument you pass to addons:create.
Start on the cheapest tier that fits your data—every service lets you move up or down between plans later. Each service’s marketplace page carries its full, current plan list:
- Ave To Go — MariaDB/MySQL
- Donkey To Go — MongoDB
- Schema To Go — PostgreSQL
- Sequel To Go — Microsoft SQL Server
- MailerToGo — Transactional email
- Cache To Go — Redis
- Spandex To Go — ElasticSearch / OpenSearch
- Infer To Go — AI model inference
