The rapid transition of databases to the cloud, together with the challenges of database maintenance, has caused a massive demand for user-friendly managed services. To meet the demand, UpCloud launched Managed Databases – a scalable and fully automated database solution. But what was the project like, and what are the benefits of UpCloud Managed Databases? Let’s […]
Vision and culture
Cloud infrastructure offers many benefits for hosting databases such as reduced maintenance, improved resilience, and easier scalability.

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.
