Overview

DigitalOcean Managed Databases provide fully managed clusters so teams can avoid manual setup and maintenance.

Supported engines:

  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • Redis
  • MongoDB
  • Kafka
  • OpenSearch
  • Valkey

Provisioning Workflow

  • Select engine, region, and cluster size.
  • Create users and databases with required roles.
  • Configure trusted sources and VPC networking.
  • Retrieve connection strings and TLS settings.

Operations and Scaling

  • Scale nodes or storage as demand grows.
  • Set maintenance windows to control upgrades.
  • Review backups and restore points.

Security Practices

  • Use VPC for private connectivity.
  • Rotate credentials and limit user privileges.
  • Enforce TLS connections.

Migration Planning

  • Use engine-specific migration guides.
  • Validate application connectivity before cutover.
  • Plan rollback using snapshots or backups.

Complementary Skills

When using this skill, consider these related skills (if deployed):

  • digitalocean-networking: VPC, firewalls, and private access.
  • digitalocean-management: Monitoring and alerting.
  • digitalocean-storage: Backup and snapshot workflows.

Note: Complementary skills are optional. This skill is fully functional without them.
