Trae Setup Guide

After setup, you can operate CloudBase services directly from Trae’s AI chat.

Examples:

"Create a users collection" - AI creates database collections automatically
"Deploy this function" - AI uploads and configures cloud functions
"Deploy the frontend to CDN" - AI uploads files and configures hosting

No need to switch to the Cloud console — you can do everything in Trae with natural language.
