Frequently asked questions
What is a cloud database?
A cloud database is a database service accessible over the internet, with the cloud provider managing its underlying infrastructure. This approach offers enhanced scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, freeing you from hardware and software management. Scaleway's managed cloud databases simplify your data operations, letting you focus on application development.
What types of databases can I run in the cloud?
You can run a variety of databases in the cloud, including:
- Relational databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, serverless
- Non relational databases: MongoDB
- Analytics: data warehouse
- Key-value: Redis
Is my data secure in a cloud database?
Yes. Scaleway ensures your data is secure with encryption at rest (for relational databases) and in transit, access control, and regular security audits. Additional security practices like tole-based access and monitoring can further enhance protection.
How do backups work in cloud databases?
Scaleway provides automatic backups by default for your cloud databases. These backups are stored securely and can be used to restore your data in case of loss or corruption. You can customize backup schedules and retention periods to suit your needs.
Can I migrate my existing database to the cloud?
Can I scale my database resources up or down as needed?
Yes. You can scale your database resources manually or let Scaleway handle it automatically. Managed databases allow you to adjust CPU, memory, and storage, while Serverless SQL Database scales automatically based on your workload.
