Databases
Managed MySQL-compatible databases for modern web applications
Web applications rely on powerful databases — and this is where the LAY7 Cloud comes in. With our fully managed, MySQL-compatible databases, we provide the flexibility, performance, and security that today's web projects require.
Whether for small websites or complex applications with high data volumes: Our databases grow with your application — easily scalable in performance and storage size. At the same time, we guarantee a high level of security through restricted accessibility, automatic protection via our authentication systems, and a robust cloud network.
Experience a straightforward, secure, and high-performance database solution that seamlessly integrates into your hosting infrastructure.
The Plus in Security
Database security is a central element of the LAY7 Cloud platform strategy. Data leaks often occur due to misconfigured, publicly accessible databases. With us, your databases are protected against such risks by default.
All databases in the LAY7 Cloud are accessible only through our internal network, thus shielding them from external access. Should you require external access, it can be controlled via a LAY7 Space acting as a tunnel.
Moreover, access through phpMyAdmin is secured by the central LAY7 authentication system. This ensures that only authorized users can access your databases.
Not Publicly Accessible
Database connections are only possible within the internal LAY7 Cloud network.
Access via Tunnel
External access is only permitted through controlled tunnels such as with a LAY7 Space.
Secured with LAY7 Auth
phpMyAdmin is automatically protected via the cloud authentication of the LAY7 Cloud.
Avoiding Misconfigurations
Publicly accessible ports? Not with us — security from the very first second.
Scalable at the Push of a Button
One of the standout features of the databases in the LAY7 Cloud is their flexible scaling. As your application grows, your database grows with it — all without complicated migration processes.
You can increase or decrease the performance level at any time, thus adapting the CPU and RAM resources to the current needs of your database.
The available storage can also be dynamically adjusted in 1-GB increments. This allows you precise control over resources and costs — without compromising on performance.
Technical Details at a Glance
To ensure you know exactly what to expect, we have summarized the most important technical information about our database solution compactly for you.
Our databases run entirely on NVMe SSD storage within our cloud infrastructure and are fully MySQL-compatible. You can flexibly adjust the storage space in 1-GB increments.
Management is done through an intuitive user interface that gives you access to all important functions. Additionally, phpMyAdmin is integrated by default and protected by the central LAY7 authentication system.
Seamless Integration into Your Project
Connecting your application to the database in the LAY7 Cloud is particularly easy. Each database instance receives an internal network address that can be directly used in your projects. This saves configuration and ensures minimal latency.
Since all workloads — from Spaces to APIs and cron jobs — operate within the same cloud network, you benefit from stable and high-performance communication between application and database.
Thanks to MySQL compatibility, you can run your application without changes to drivers or libraries. Whether Laravel, Symfony, or custom implementation — the LAY7 Cloud seamlessly integrates with your existing infrastructure.
