Managed databases for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis
Cloider runs managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis databases for you. Pick an engine and a plan, and Cloider provisions the server, its storage, a public and a private endpoint, TLS certificates, a firewall and point-in-time backups. You connect with the client or driver you already use.
- Point-in-time restore, 14 days
- Private networking to your apps
- TLS and IP allowlists

Production databases without the operations
Point-in-time restore
Cloider takes a full backup every 14 days and records every change in between. Restore the newest data, or any second of the last 14 days, into a new database.
An isolated server per database
Each database is its own server with its own storage volume, never shared with other customers' data, and its user gets a strong 32-character password.
Public and private endpoints
A public host for your laptop, CI and other clouds, and a private host that your Cloider apps and Kubernetes clusters reach inside Cloider's network.
Trusted sources and TLS
Allow anywhere, IPv4 addresses, CIDR ranges, your apps or your clusters. Turn on TLS with a certificate signed by Cloider's CA, which you can download.
Resize in place
Move to a larger plan at any time. Your data stays where it is, with a short restart.
Terminal and insights
Run psql, mysql, mongosh or redis-cli in the browser or with cloider db shell, nothing to install, and follow CPU, memory, storage, network and connections.
Four engines, the newest major versions
Each engine is offered in one major version, fixed when the database is created.
| Engine | Version | Best for | Client |
|---|---|---|---|
| PostgreSQL | 18 | Most web apps, analytics, geospatial, JSON plus relational data | psql |
| MySQL | 9 | WordPress, Laravel, Drupal, Magento and apps built for MySQL | mysql |
| MongoDB | 8 | Content, catalogs, event data, schemas that change often | mongosh |
| Redis | 8 | Caches, sessions, rate limits, queues, leaderboards, pub/sub | redis-cli |
A database in a few minutes
Pick an engine and a plan
In the dashboard or with
cloider db create. Cloider provisions the server, its volume, both endpoints and its backups.Choose who can connect
Add trusted sources: your IP address, a CIDR range, your Cloider apps or your clusters.
Connect
Use the connection string with any client or driver, or open a session with
cloider db shellwithout installing a client.Restore when you need to
Pick any second of the last 14 days and Cloider restores it into a new database, leaving the original untouched.
# create a PostgreSQL database
cloider db create orders-db --engine postgresql --plan standard --wait
# open a psql session, no client to install
cloider db shell orders-db
Fixed plans, billed by the second
A plan's monthly price covers a 30-day month and is charged per second while the database is Ready. A paused database pays only for its storage.

Database questions
Which database engine should I choose?
Choose PostgreSQL if you aren't sure: it is a general purpose relational database that fits most web applications. Choose MySQL when your application or framework expects it, MongoDB for document data with a flexible schema, and Redis for caching, sessions, queues and other fast key-value workloads.
How are Cloider databases billed?
By the plan's monthly price, from $3.99 a month, charged per second while the database is Ready. Queries, connections, traffic and backups aren't charged separately. A paused database costs only its storage, and a deleted one costs nothing from the moment it is deleted.
How do backups and point-in-time restore work?
Cloider takes a full backup of every database every 14 days and records every change in between. You can restore the newest data, or any second of the last 14 days, into a new database. The original keeps running, so you can check the restored copy before switching your app to it.
Can my Cloider apps and clusters connect privately?
Yes. Every database has a private host that your Cloider apps and Kubernetes clusters reach inside Cloider's network, next to the public host for everything else. Both use the same port, which Cloider assigns when the database is created.
Can I resize a database?
Yes, to a larger plan at any time, with a short restart and your data kept. A plan can only get larger, because a storage volume can grow but not shrink.
How do I move an existing database to Cloider?
Dump it with the engine's own tools, such as pg_dump, mysqldump or mongodump, and restore it into your Cloider database over its public host. The migration guide in the documentation walks through each step.
