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.
