App Builder Database is officially Generally Available!

We’re excited to announce that App Builder Database is officially Generally Available!

App Builder Database provides powerful document-style persistence for Adobe I/O Runtime Actions, delivering a new out-of-the-box capability alongside App Builder’s existing State and Files storage. Powered by aio-lib-db, it offers a MongoDB-like query syntax, type safety, and streaming support for large datasets—all natively integrated with App Builder workflows and CLI tools.

A sincere thank you to everyone who participated in the beta program. Your feedback and real-world testing made a real difference, and we’re grateful for your partnership along the way.

:rocket: WHAT’S NEW

Here’s what we added during the beta period:

40GB of Storage Per Pack — Each pack of App Builder now includes 40 gigabytes of database storage.
AUS Region Support — App Builder Database is now available in the Australia region in addition to AMER, APAC, and EMEA
Stronger Authentication — Authentication has been upgraded to use IMS Tokens for production-grade security.
Best Practice Documentation — Comprehensive best practice guides are now available in the official documentation.

:warning: REMINDER: Update Your Authentication

If you haven’t yet updated your authentication as part of the IMS Token upgrade, please do so as soon as possible — the previous auth method no longer works. The process involves these steps:

Add the App Builder Data Services API in Developer Console (instructions here)
Update aio-lib-db — npm update @adobe/aio-lib-db
Update aio-lib-db initialization to use IMS tokens via generateAccessToken, plus the required include-ims-credentials: true
annotation in app.config.yaml(instructions here)
Update the AIO CLI — using aio update (documentation here)
