What can developer do with DigitalOcean Database Service

Easy setup and maintenance

Launch a database cluster with just a few clicks and then access it via our simplified UI or API. Easily migrate your database from another location with minimal downtime.

Highly scalable

Scale up at any time to support your business growth. Resize your database clusters at any time to add more CPUs, RAM, and storage. Easily add more nodes to increase your operations and performance.

Free daily backups

Your data is critical. That's why we ensure it's backed up automatically every day. Restore data to any point within the previous seven days.

Automated failover

In the event of a failure, Managed Databases will automatically switch data handling to a standby node to minimize downtime.

Fast, reliable performance

Managed Databases run on enterprise-class hardware for fast performance. Run your clusters on Droplets with shared vCPUs or choose Droplets with 100% dedicated vCPUs for mission critical workloads.

End-to-end security

Databases run in your account’s private network, and only whitelisted requests via the public internet can reach your database. Data is also encrypted in transit and at rest.
