Databases

Overview

Databases are first-class resources in Wodby. They give you a shared place to manage:

A database can be project-owned or organization-owned. Use the database Sharing page to make it available to additional projects with either Read/Use or Modify/Delete access.

A database also has an environment. For container-based databases created from an app, the environment usually matches the app instance environment.

Deployment types

Wodby supports two main ways to run a database server:

Type Best when How it works
Container-based The database belongs to one app stack The database runs as part of your app deployment with attached persistent storage
Managed You want an external provider-managed database Wodby connects to a cloud-managed database workflow through integrations

1. Container-based

The database runs as part of your application stack in a container with attached persistent storage.

Add one of the database services to your stack and choose storage size in stack configuration or during app creation.

2. Managed

The database server is deployed by a third-party cloud provider and connected through the required external service and cloud integration.

Supported managed database kinds include:

  • MySQL
  • MariaDB
  • PostgreSQL
