Serverless SQL Databases API

Scaleway's Serverless SQL DB is a fully-managed and flexible service offering SQL Databases. It provides elastic scaling and a pay-per-use model, ensuring you pay only for the queries you run and storage you consume.

Designed to free you from administrative and configuration tasks, it lets you focus solely on your data and application development. We handle high availability, regular backups, and configuration.

Your database only runs when in use, hosted in our energy-efficient datacenters in Europe, reducing your carbon footprint. Data is kept securely within our regions in Paris, Amsterdam, and Warsaw. Serverless SQL DB by Scaleway is a smart choice for efficient and sustainable database management.

Quickstart

1. Configure your environment variables.

   Note

   This is an optional step that seeks to simplify your usage of the APIs.

   Code
   export SCW_ACCESS_KEY="<API access key>"
   export SCW_SECRET_KEY="<API secret key>"
   export SCW_REGION="<Scaleway region>"

2. Edit the POST request payload you will use to create your Serverless SQL DB Database. Replace the parameters in the following example:

   Code
       {
         "organization_id": "895693aa-3915-4896-8761-c2923b008be7",
         "project_id": "d8e65f2b-cce9-40b7-80fc-6a2902db6826",
         "name": "myDB",
         "cpu_min": 0,
         "cpu_max": 5
       }

   Parameter	Description
   organization_id	Your Organization ID. It must be in UUID format. To find your Organization ID, you can consult the Scaleway consoleOpen in new context.
   project_id	The ID of the Project you want to create your Serverless SQL DB Database in. To find your Project ID you can list the projects or consult the Scaleway consoleOpen in new context.
   name	Name of the Serverless SQL DB Database
   cpu_min	The minimum number of CPUs units your Serverless SQL DB Database can scale down to.
   cpu_max	The maximum number of CPUs units your Serverless SQL DB Database can scale up to.

3. Create a Database by running the following command. Make sure you include the payload you edited in the previous step.

   Code
   curl -X POST \
     -H "X-Auth-Token: $SCW_SECRET_KEY" \
     "Content-Type: application/json" \
     https://api.scaleway.com/serverless-sqldb/v1alpha1/regions/$SCW_REGION/databases \
     -d '{
         "organization_id": "895693aa-3915-4896-8761-c2923b008be7",
         "project_id": "d8e65f2b-cce9-40b7-80fc-6a2902db6826",
         "name": "myDB",
         "cpu_min": 0,
         "cpu_max": 5
       }'

4. List your Databases.

   Code
   curl -X GET \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "X-Auth-Token: $SCW_SECRET_KEY" https://api.scaleway.com/serverless-sqldb/v1alpha1/regions/$SCW_REGION/databases

   You should get a response like the following:

   Note

   This is a response example, the UUIDs and IP address displayed are not real.

   Code
   {
         "id": "f5122f66-fb50-4cef-aa02-487ef4fc1af0",
         "name": "myDB",
         "organization_id": "895693aa-3915-4896-8761-c2923b008be7",
         "project_id": "d8e65f2b-cce9-40b7-80fc-6a2902db6826",
         "status": "ready",
         "endpoint": "postgres://f5122f66-fb50-4cef-aa02-487ef4fc1af0.pg.sdb.fr-par.scw.cloud/myDB",
         "created_at": "2019-04-19T16:24:52.591417Z",
         "region": "fr-par"
   }

5. Retrieve your Serverless SQL DB endpoint from the response.

   Note

   In the example above, the Endpoint is .

6. Connect to your Database with the psql database client using the endpoint and one of your IAM principals:

   Code
   psql postgres://<iam-principal>:<iam-api-key>@f5122f66-fb50-4cef-aa02-487ef4fc1af0.pg.sdb.fr-par.scw.cloud/myDB
