Customer Case Studies

See how customers are using Managed Databases to power their applications.

How Find AI Scales Innovation with DigitalOcean

“With DigitalOcean's Managed Databases, scaling as we grow has been seamless. We can move stuff around between databases without a ton of work.”
Anson Hwang, Technical Cofounder

Blue Bay Travel's Growth on DigitalOcean for 10+ Years

“At the time when we started with DigitalOcean, we were a very small tech team. We wanted a service that could save us time so that we could best use our resources elsewhere. The fact that everything seemed so simple and the support was available immediately was crucial for us.”
Alex Bowers, Software Development Manager

Want to migrate an existing database?

Migrate on your own

Use our in-app migration flow and product documentation to move your database in a few clicks.

Let us handle the migration

For eligible customers with more complex workloads, our specialists will provide free, tailored migration support.

Robust capabilities, easy to scale

Quickly and easily spin up a high-performance database cluster.

Easy setup and maintenance

Launch a database cluster with just a few clicks and then access it via our simplified UI or API. Easily migrate your database from another location with minimal downtime.

Highly scalable

Easily scale up your database at any time to match your business growth. Add CPUs, RAM, and nodes to handle increased workloads while enhancing performance. With autoscaling for storage, you can have peace of mind knowing you won't run out of space, with no manual intervention required.

Free daily backups

Your data is critical. That's why we ensure it's backed up automatically every day. Restore data to any point within the previous seven days.

Automated failover

In the event of a failure, Managed Databases will automatically switch data handling to a standby node to minimize downtime.

Fast, reliable performance

Managed Databases run on enterprise-class hardware for fast performance. Run your clusters on Droplets with shared vCPUs or choose Droplets with 100% dedicated vCPUs for mission critical workloads.

End-to-end security

Databases run in your account's private network, and only whitelisted requests via the public internet can reach your database. Data is also encrypted in transit and at rest.

DigitalOcean's Managed Databases have been a game-changer. They've done a fantastic job of removing the complexity of setting up, tuning, and securing databases for production use.
Brad Kilshaw

Having fully automated replication, backups and other database level configuration is a must for us. This plus their predictable pricing and awesome support made our choice of cloud vendor an easy one.

Integrated insights & alerting

Monitor performance, resource usage, and errors to optimize your Managed Database cluster. Leverage automated alerts–like cluster events and resource notifications–all while having a clear view into key metrics like latency.

Cache hit ratio

Cache hit ratio is the percent of reads from the database in-memory cache, as opposed to disk, and is ideally about 99%.

Connections

Managed Databases also include cluster resource utilization metrics like CPU, load average, memory usage, and disk usage.

Disk usage

Disk usage is the percent of disk used by all nodes in the cluster. While it will fluctuate, you should maintain disk usage below 90%.

Simple pricing & superior support

Predictable pricing

Always know what you'll pay with monthly caps and flat pricing across all data centers. Spin up a cluster for just $15/month.

World-class support

Four levels of support services are designed to meet your needs whether you are a startup, large business, or anything in between.
