Powerful and scalable
Quickly and easily spin up a high-performance MySQL cluster.
Worry-free setup & maintenance
Launch a MySQL cluster with just a few clicks and then access it via our simplified UI or an API. Never worry about maintenance operations or updates – we handle that for you. Easily migrate your database from another location with minimal downtime and no additional cost.
Highly scalable
Scale up at anytime to support your business growth. Easily spin up read-only nodes to scale read operations.
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.
End-to-end security
Databases run in your account’s private network, which isolates communication at the account or team level. Requests via the public internet can still reach your database, but only if you whitelist specific inbound sources. Data is also encrypted in transit and at rest.
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 giving you lightning-fast performance. Run your clusters on Droplets (cloud VMs) with shared vCPUs or choose Droplets with 100% dedicated vCPUs for mission critical workloads.
“DigitalOcean's Managed Databases have been a game changer. They’ve done a fantastic job of removing the complexity of setting up, tuning, and securing databases for production use.”
Brad Kilshaw Founder, Nivel Technologies

Predictable pricing Always know what you'll pay with monthly caps and flat pricing across all data centers. Spin up a cluster for just $15/ mo or a high-availability cluster with a standby node for $50/ mo.
