Modes

Databases can operate in two modes:

• Managed
• Container

Managed databases are perfect for production - they are provided and managed by major cloud providers like AWS to make sure your production data is well managed.

Container databases are managed by Qovery as Docker containers with attached persistent storage. They are perfect for development and testing, as they are significantly cheaper than services provided by cloud providers.

Please refers to the dedicated database sub-pages to get more information on the supported mode for each of our database types.

Managed databases are supported only in paid plans, it's not available in the Free version.
