Managed Databases can be deployed with the following database management systems
Database systems
Managed Databases for OpenSearch
OpenSearch is an open-source distributed search and analytics suite. Powered by the Apache Lucene search library, OpenSearch offers a vendor-agnostic toolset you can use to build secure, high-performance, cost-efficient applications, from real-time application monitoring to website search functionality.
Why OpenSearch?
- Log management: storage, retrieval, analysis
- Application search
- Document storage & retrieval: orders, receipts, records
- Application performance monitoring/observability
Managed Databases for Redis
Redis is an open-source, in-memory, key-value data store supporting millions of requests per second for real-time applications. It offers a broad range of use cases, from database, cache, session store, message broker, real-time analytics, and queue.
Why Redis?
- All data lives in memory, with low latency output
- Sub-millisecond response times, enabling millions of requests per second for real-time applications
- Simplicity and ease-of-use
- Flexible data structures, suitable for different application needs
- Complex code can often be written in a simpler way with Redis
Managed Databases for MySQL
MySQL is the world’s most popular enterprise-grade open-source relational database management system. It provides an ideal solution for simple, read-heavy workloads using pure relational databases (RDBMS).
Why MySQL?
- Highly flexible and scalable
- Great for websites and online transactions e.g.
- Drupal
- Joomla
- phpBB
- WordPress
Managed Databases for PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance. It offers an advanced open-source relational database which makes it ideal for large systems where read and write speeds are crucial.
PostgreSQL is an object-relational database (ORDBMS) and provides features like table inheritance and function overloading as well as connection pooling, making it capable of handling complex queries and massive databases.
Why PostgreSQL?
- Excellent for complex queries
- Supports NoSQL and a large variety of data types
Uniquely simple
Standing apart from the competition
Simply scalable
Scale your databases horizontally and vertically, whenever required. UpCloud Managed Databases easily fit your business needs. Start development on a single node, scale up when proceeding to production with zero downtime!
Highly available
Clustered with automated failover, monitored day and night, Managed Databases are covered by our signature 100% uptime SLA. Rest assured your databases are always available.
Secure by design
Secure access to your database for your Cloud Servers via the private UpCloud Utility network enabled by default. Support for multi-zone or even multi-cloud connectivity over the public network while limiting the allowed connection by IP addresses.
Automated backups
All UpCloud Managed Database plans include off-site stored, automated, encrypted backups. 1, 2, and 3 node clusters provide 1, 7 or 14 days of backups respectively allowing a consistent Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) to any minute in the backups.

Frequently asked questions
Managed Database is a carefree database-as-a-service for running well-known open-source databases in the cloud. Built on high availability, Managed Databases provide a secure way to store application data.
Managed Databases utilise the databases’s native streaming replication features to replicate the data to the hot standby nodes in real time. In normal operation, DNS entries will point to a primary node and one of the replicas in will be automatically promoted in case of a primary failure. Using plans with at least two nodes is highly recommended.
Yes indeed, the replica nodes offer a perfect use case for load balancing the Managed Database cluster by splitting read and write operations between multiple nodes.
Of course, you are able to create and manage users and their permissions directly through the database engine’s own interface by using the primary user for management.
Yes, at-rest data encryption covers both active service instances as well as service backups stored in cloud Object Storage. Service instances and the underlying Cloud Servers use full volume encryption with a randomly generated ephemeral key per each instance and each volume.
Restores are always done to a new instance, never on top of an existing one. Restoring a backup to a temporary instance allows you to view the data without interruption to your database services.
