Can I connect to my database from outside Shard Cloud?

Yes. Use the TLS connection string from your database's settings to connect from a local client, another host, or any external tool — there's no IP allowlist restriction.

How much storage do I get?

Storage scales with the RAM you allocate to the database — choose more RAM when your data needs more room.

Can I run migrations or import existing data?

Yes. Connect with the provided TLS credentials and run your usual migration tool or import process, the same as any standard PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis instance.

How many connections can my database handle?

Like storage, the maximum number of connections scales with the RAM allocated to your database — add more RAM for more concurrent connections.

Does Shard Cloud back up my database automatically?

A database backup is a snapshot of the database itself, not an automatic backup before migrations. Manual backups are always available from the database's dashboard, and automatic backups are included from the Pro plan onward — see Backups for details.

Managed data services for the applications you run

Provision the data store your workload needs, connect securely, and observe its capacity from the same platform as your apps.

Explore capabilities

Choose the right data model

Use Redis for caching and sessions, PostgreSQL or MySQL for relational workloads, or MongoDB for documents and flexible schemas.

Access data securely

All database traffic uses TLS, with automatic certificate management and no unencrypted connections.

Monitor capacity live

Track network usage, RAM, vCPU, connection counts, and query performance while the database runs.

Built to operate

The essentials to run your data services with confidence.

Keep configuration, secure access, visual management, and operational signals close to the database.

Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB

Choose an in-memory, relational, or document database according to your application needs.

One-click database visualizers

Enable Redis Commander, pgWeb, or Mongo Express with pre-configured credentials and password-protected access.

TLS-only connections

Database traffic is encrypted with automatic certificate management and no unencrypted connection option.

Password management

Change passwords when needed; visualizer credentials update automatically without downtime.

Real-time metrics

Follow ingress, egress, RAM, vCPU, connections, and query performance in real time.

Supported databases

Choose the data engine your workload needs.

Create a managed database for caching, relational workloads, documents, or flexible schemas, then operate it with secure access and live metrics.

PostgreSQL

MongoDB

Redis

Progressive setup

Start in minutes. Go deeper when needed.

Create the data service, connect it securely, and keep its management tools and telemetry nearby.

Get started

01

Choose the database

Select Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB for your workload.

02

Connect securely

Use TLS-enabled credentials or turn on the matching visualizer from the database settings.

03

Monitor and maintain

Review live resource and connection data, then rotate passwords whenever needed.

From connection to the first decision, in one flow.

Frequently asked questions

How this resource works in practice.

A database visualizer is a web interface provided automatically by Shard Cloud. Use it to run queries and inspect your database tables and data visually.
