How can I access my database ?

Serverless SQL Database is fully compatible with PostgreSQL connections. You can access it using your favorite PostgreSQL client or your favorite language drivers through credentials or connection string login. Serverless SQL Database can be configured to only accept specific IP ranges. The option to restrict access to your Scaleway private network will be added in the future.

How can I monitor costs ?

You can define minimum and maximum scalability thresholds so you never exceed your budget because of connection peaks or highly demanding requests. Your exact workload and provisioned capacity over time is available directly in Observability dashboards.

What is the database cold start from idling state ?

When the database is in idle state and receives new requests, it automatically wakes up in a few seconds. Thus, You don't need to modify API or connection timeout durations in your code to handle these cases. Your first end users connecting after a long time won't notice the difference either.

Can I use Serverless SQL Database for hosting a third party tool ?

Yes, you can use Serverless SQL Database as a database for any tool compatible with PostgreSQL. If you need to set up multiple databases automatically, depending on the provided setup instructions, you might need to use Terraform or perform manual creations from the Console instead (e.g. scripts using SQL instructions such as “CREATE DATABASE” might not work)
