Features

A database you don't have to run

The server is tuned to its memory, and you do all the day-to-day work from Flux.

Choose engine and version

PostgreSQL 17 or 18 for most apps, MariaDB 11.4 or 11.8 when you need MySQL compatibility, for example for WordPress or Laravel.

Connect an app

Pick an app and a database, and the app gets its own user, DATABASE_URL is set, and the firewall opens only between exactly those two.

Nightly backups

Every database is copied every night, and the copies are kept for seven days. On top of that, the whole server is backed up to our backup cluster.

Restore in minutes

Restore over the database, or to a new database next to it to compare. Take a manual backup before big changes, and download a dump.

Users and Adminer

Create users with access to exactly the databases you choose. Open the database in Adminer from Flux with a one-time link, with no password to copy.

External access over TLS

Connect from the office or a BI tool from up to ten IP addresses you approve. Everyone else is stopped before reaching the server.

Backup

Seven nights back, at a glance

You see each night's copy, its size and when it expires. Restore and download are one click away.

  • Manual backup whenever you like, for example before a migration.
  • Restore over the existing database or to a new one.
  • Download a dump with a one-time link.
  • Alerts by email or webhook if a backup fails.
Ordering

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Anything else? Send us a message and we'll get back to you.

Can I connect to the database from my own machine?
Yes. Add up to ten IP addresses under external access on the database server, and you can connect over TLS. For a quick look, open Adminer straight from Flux.
Can several apps use the same database server?
Yes. A server holds as many databases and users as you need, and every app you connect gets its own user.
How long are backups kept?
The nightly copies of each database are kept for seven days. On top of that, the whole database server is backed up to our backup cluster.
How are database servers billed?
By the hour for as long as the server exists, and you never pay more than the monthly price. Cancel the server to stop billing.
