Managed databases overview

MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis — provisioned, backed up, and managed for you.

Updated Aug 4, 2026Databases

Every MonkeysCloud project includes managed databases, so you never have to install, patch, or back up a database yourself.

Available engines

  • MySQL — the classic relational choice, great for WordPress, Laravel, and most web apps.
  • PostgreSQL — powerful relational database with advanced features, great for Django, Rails, and data-heavy apps.
  • Redis — in-memory store for caching, sessions, and queues.

What “managed” means

  • Provisioned in minutes and attached to your project automatically.
  • Daily backups stored safely, with easy restore.
  • Monitoring and alerts for disk, CPU, and connection issues.
  • Credentials managed for you — grab them from the Databases page when you need them.

Free by default

Each project ships with free database instances as part of the free tier. See plans and billing for what’s included.
