Console
What you get
The database, without the night shifts.
Backups
Restore any minute
Continuous, encrypted, kept 7 days. A restore creates a new database as it was at that minute; nothing is overwritten. Valkey: a snapshot every hour.
Forks
An instant copy
A staging copy or a migration test in seconds, whatever the size of the data, with the same users.
Security
TLS and a private network
Reached from your private network, TLS always required with a publicly trusted certificate. Public access stays off until you open it, to the addresses you choose.
Updates
In your window
Minor updates are applied in a weekly two-hour window you choose, usually with a minute or two of downtime.
Disk
Grows on its own
At 80 % full the disk grows, up to the cap you set. Extra disk costs 0.15 CAD per GB per month.
Visibility
Statistics and slow queries
CPU, memory, connections and commits over 1 hour to 7 days, and the 20 queries (or Valkey commands) that take the most time.
In practice
One call, then a connection string.
Create the database in a private network, read its credentials, connect over TLS. The console, the API and the MCP server work the same way.
