Databases
Managed MariaDB on your own cluster
MariaDB managed by the MariaDB operator, speaking the MySQL protocol so every MySQL driver connects unchanged.
Created inside a project, beside the apps that use it. Each project gets its own instance, storage and credentials.
A recent addition. It installs today, and the console marks it as new until it has run on a customer's cluster.
01What it does
MariaDB, run for you
MariaDB 10.11, 11.4 or 11.8 on the MariaDB operator.
For the software that asks for MariaDB by name, and for teams that prefer its licence and release cadence to MySQL's. It speaks the MySQL wire protocol, so the driver, the ORM and the DATABASE_URL your app already reads work without a change.
One instance, provisioned with its own volume and wired into bound apps the same way PostgreSQL and MySQL are. The version and the database name are chosen once; the size can change later.
02Options
What you choose
What the console asks when you create it, in the catalog's own numbers. Anything marked chosen once cannot change without creating a new instance.
- Sizes
- small 0.5 CPU / 1Gi, medium 1 / 2Gi, large 2 / 4Gi
- Storage
- 10Gi by default; grows later if the storage class supports expansion
- Versions
- 10.11, 11.4 or 11.8 (default), chosen once
- Pause
- Yes; the volume is kept
- Public port
- 3306 can be opened on a public cluster
03Binding
What your app receives
Bind it to an app and these arrive as environment variables. The values are generated once into a secret and reach the app from there, rather than as something you copy.
- MARIADB_HOST
- MARIADB_PORT
- MARIADB_DATABASE
- MARIADB_USERNAME
- MARIADB_PASSWORD
- MARIADB_URL
- DATABASE_URL
04Adding it
Add MariaDB to a project
The same four steps as every service in the catalog.
- 01Open a project and go to Services.
- 02Pick it from the catalog and choose its options. Only the size is required; everything else has a default.
- 03Create it. Anyport installs it into the project's namespace, generates its credentials into a secret there, and tracks its health.
- 04Bind it to an app. The connection details arrive as environment variables, and rotating the credential never means editing an app.
