Frequently Asked Questions

Is MariaDB really MySQL compatible?
Yes. MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL. Your MySQL applications, ORMs (Eloquent, Prisma, Sequelize, etc.), migrations and tools like MySQL Workbench or DBeaver work without any changes with MariaDB on LAY7 cloud.
How often are backups created?
You configure the backup intervals yourself in the dashboard – from hourly to daily. When needed, you can restore any backup state with just a few clicks.
Can I connect from external applications?
Yes. Each database gets its own hostname and port. You can connect via any MySQL-compatible client – from local development tools to external applications. The connection is SSL-encrypted.
What performance levels are available?
LAY7 cloud offers various performance levels with different CPU and RAM resources. You choose the right level for your needs and can scale up or down at any time – effective immediately, without downtime.
How do I migrate an existing database?
Export your existing database as an SQL dump (mysqldump). Create a new database on LAY7 cloud and import the dump via a MySQL client. You can find the connection details in the dashboard.
