PostgreSQL 17
The default relational database for most applications, with strong SQL support and extensions.
Starting at $32.01/mo
Products
Managed databases, on your private network.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis that LayerOne provisions, secures, and backs up for you. Each database answers only on your private network, never on a public address, with SSL on by default. Pay by the hour for the resources it runs on, from $26.94/mo.

Private network only
SSL by default
- Ready in a minute or two
- SSL required by default
- Automated backups
- Resize any time

Engines
Three engines, from their official images.
Pick an engine, name it, and choose a private network. LayerOne sizes the first instance, generates the credentials, and issues a TLS certificate. You can resize it later.
MySQL 8.4
The widely compatible relational database behind countless applications and frameworks.
Starting at $37.08/mo
Redis 7
An in-memory data store for caches, queues, sessions, and real-time workloads.

How it works
Private by design, connected in minutes.
A managed database is a dedicated guest on your virtual network. Only your servers on that network can reach it, and the connection values are ready to drop into your app.
On your private network, never a public address
Each database attaches to one of your virtual networks with a private address you choose. There is no public endpoint to lock down, so only machines on that network can connect. Attach it to an application and the connection values are injected automatically.
SSL on by default
Connections require SSL out of the box, with a per-database CA certificate you can download for full certificate verification. Allow non-SSL connections only if a client needs it.
Managed credentials
The database name, user, and password are generated for you and shown in the client area. Rotate the password at any time; the user, data, and certificate stay the same and the database keeps running.
Day two
Backed up, resizable, and yours to recover.
The work after launch is what makes a database managed. Backups, resizing, and recovery are built into the database page.
Automated backups
Daily, weekly, or monthly backups at an hour you choose, plus on-demand copies, with a retention count you set. Backups draw from your organization's backup-storage pool.
Restore in place
Restore rebuilds the database at its current size, reconnects its private network, and reconciles the password so attached applications keep working.
Resize any time
Change vCPU, memory, and disk and redeploy. The data is preserved, disk can only grow, and the hourly rate follows the new size.
Engine updates
Apply same-major engine updates from the database page, with a recovery snapshot kept in case an update needs to be rolled back.
Import and export
Move data in and out with database file export and restore, so you can seed a new database or take a copy away.
Storage visibility
See how much data the database holds and how much disk is left, sampled from the guest rather than estimated from the configured size.
Pricing
Pay for the resources, by the hour.
There is no plan to choose. A database bills on the memory, vCPU, and disk it is provisioned with, at the same metered rates as the rest of the platform, drawn from account credit each hour. Databases stay on your private network, so there is no egress charge.

Questions
Full FAQ
Straight answers.
Which database engines can I run?
PostgreSQL 17, MySQL 8.4, and Redis 7, each from its official image on an isolated guest. You pick the engine, name it, and choose a private network and address; LayerOne sizes the first instance, generates the credentials, and issues a TLS certificate.
How do I connect to a managed database?
Over your private network only. A managed database has no public address, so only machines on the same virtual network can reach it. The client portal shows a ready-made connection URL and the individual connection variables, and attaching a database to an application injects them automatically.
How is a managed database priced?
By the resources it is provisioned with, billed hourly from account credit: a per-vCPU, per-GB memory, and per-GB disk rate, the same metered rates as the rest of the platform. There is no plan to choose and no egress charge, because a database stays on your private network. Resize any time and the hourly rate follows.
Are backups included?
Backups run on the same schedule as a server: daily, weekly, or monthly at an hour you choose, plus on-demand copies, with a retention count you set. Copies draw from your organization's backup-storage pool. Restore rebuilds the database in place at its current size and reconnects it to its private network.
Is the connection encrypted?
Yes. SSL is required by default, with a per-database CA certificate you can download for certificate verification. You can allow non-SSL connections if a client needs it, but the secure default stays on until you change it.
Can I resize a database later?
Yes. Change vCPU, memory, and disk from the database page and redeploy; the data is preserved and disk can only grow. You can also rotate credentials and apply same-major engine updates, each without losing the data.

Create a PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Redis database on your private network in a minute or two. Hourly resource pricing, automated backups, and engineer support if something on the platform goes sideways.
