Managed databases

Overview

Managed databases are in preview. They take the setup work out of running a data store: the platform provisions the instance on your capacity, configures it with sane defaults, and monitors its health.

Engines

• PostgreSQL — general-purpose relational workhorse.
• MariaDB — MySQL-compatible, for the software that expects MySQL.
• Valkey — Redis-compatible in-memory store, without the licensing questions.

What the platform handles

• Provisioning and initial configuration on the server you choose.
• Health monitoring and status in the console.

Automated backups are not available yet. Until they are, keep your own backups of any data you can't afford to lose.

You keep full network control: database instances live inside your private network and are reachable according to your security groups.
