DATABASE INFRASTRUCTURE

Run self-managed databases on infrastructure you control.

Choose VPS or Cloud resources for database workloads without implying a managed database service or automatic software installation.

Self-managed infrastructure. Application installation, administration and data protection remain under customer control.

USE CASES

Infrastructure shaped around your application.

PostgreSQL

Run transactional databases, extensions and application data on customer-managed infrastructure.

MySQL & MariaDB

Build familiar relational database environments for websites and business applications.

Redis

Provide caching, queues and ephemeral application state with memory sized for the workload.

MongoDB

Operate document databases with storage and memory selected for the working set.

Application databases

Place application state close to APIs and services while retaining administrative control.

Development & staging

Create isolated non-production database environments for testing and migration work.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Plan resources deliberately.

  • Size RAM for the active dataset and database cache.
  • Use NVMe storage appropriate to data volume and write patterns.
  • Plan backup retention and test restores independently.
  • Choose a region close to applications and permitted data locations.
SECURITY

Operate it safely.

  • Restrict database listeners to trusted networks.
  • Use strong credentials, encryption and least-privilege database roles.
  • Maintain operating-system and database security updates.
  • Monitor capacity, replication, backups and recovery objectives.
