The problem

Every new database becomes another dashboard, credential flow, and runbook. Platform teams spend their time wiring infrastructure together instead of helping teams ship.

The River approach

River centralizes provisioning and connections around one control plane — request an instance, add an external connection, and both appear query-ready in the catalog.
