What it is
A real Postgres database behind the site — where briefs, portal updates and build records live. Not a spreadsheet on one person's laptop, not a form that emails into the void and vanishes.
What it does for your business
For your business it means every enquiry is a record with status and history — nothing sits unanswered because an email was missed, and nothing is lost because a laptop was replaced.
Why it earns its place
Briefs, build records, portal updates and events need one source of truth. A spreadsheet on one laptop cannot be the record a client and the studio both read.
Runs the Nimos Websites funnel — every brief and portal update stored there.

fails closedSchema changes live in db/*.sql and are reviewed before they run. Client rows are never published on this site.
How it runs here
A small `pg` pool connects with `NEON_FUNNEL_DB`, max three connections, SSL unless the local string disables it. Queries are parameterized. If the connection string is missing the app fails closed instead of pretending a write happened.
THE POOL
TSconst pool = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.NEON_FUNNEL_DB, max: 3, ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false },}); export async function q(sql, params = []) { const result = await pool.query(sql, params); return result.rows;}When it runs
Brief intake, portal reads and writes, build events, mail suppression checks, and any page that reads a record rather than static copy.
Who owns it
Build owns the schema and queries. Data owns migrations and backups. Ops checks the fail-closed path before a release.
What it does not claim
The database is not public. This page documents the shape and the safety rule; it does not expose client records or connection strings.
THE REFERENCE
The manual above is ours. The vendor's reference is the place to check an API, a version or a limit.
