Engines

Three engines, one dashboard

  • PostgreSQL 18 Live

    PgBouncer for connection pooling, TLS-only connections, daily encrypted backups, an admin without superuser rights and engine settings from a safe list.

  • MySQL 8.4 LTS Live

    MySQL 8.4 LTS with InnoDB, TLS required on every connection, and daily backups.

  • Valkey 9.1 Live

    The open-source fork of Redis. Users scoped to key prefixes and channels, a cache or a durable mode, and daily backups.

Every engine

Included with every managed database

  • Its own virtual machine

    Each instance runs on its own VM. No neighbours inside your engine.

  • Closed by default

    The database doesn't listen on the internet. Open it to a list of addresses when you need to, or keep it on your private network.

  • Daily backups and restore

    Choose the hour and how many to keep. Restore in place, with a safety backup first, or into a new instance.

  • Storage that grows online

    Add storage and the disk grows while your database keeps running.

  • Resize

    Move to a bigger plan when you need it. The disk grows online; CPU and RAM change with a clean restart.

  • A user per application

    Create users from role templates such as read/write and read-only, one for each application.

  • A maintenance window you choose

    Updates happen in a weekly 60-minute window that you can move to a quiet moment.

  • Live figures and logs

    Connections, size and cache figures, graphs of CPU, memory, disk and network, and the engine's log.

In the dashboard

Manage your database from your dashboard

Everything about your database sits in the same dashboard as your servers. These are the screens you'll use most.

  • Connection strings

    Ready to copy for the private and the public endpoint, with the CA bundle to verify the certificate.

  • Users

    Create, rotate and remove users. A new password is shown once.

  • Backups and restore

    Every backup with its size and how long it's kept. Restore in place or into a new instance.

  • Settings and figures

    Parameters, maintenance window, storage, live figures and the engine's log.

API

Manage your database from your pipeline

Users, backups, restores, storage and settings are all API calls. This token is limited to databases.

Back up before every deploy →
Create a database user bash 
export FAASTIC_TOKEN=fst_…        # read/write, area: databases
export ORG=…  SERVICE=…           # your organization and the database service

curl -s -X POST "https://api.faastic.com/v1/orgs/$ORG/services/$SERVICE/data/users" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FAASTIC_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"app_rw","role":"readwrite"}'
# → the password is returned once, with ready-to-paste connection strings
Back up now, read the storage bash 
# Back up now (runs in the background; follow the returned task)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.faastic.com/v1/orgs/$ORG/services/$SERVICE/data/backups" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FAASTIC_TOKEN"

# Storage: the plan's disk, extra storage added, and how much more can be added
curl -s "https://api.faastic.com/v1/orgs/$ORG/services/$SERVICE/data/storage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FAASTIC_TOKEN"

Frequently asked questions

Which databases can I run?

PostgreSQL 18, MySQL 8.4 LTS and Valkey 9.1, the open-source fork of Redis. Each instance runs on its own virtual machine.

Can I connect to my database from outside Faastic?

Yes, if you choose to. A database is closed to the internet by default. You can open it to a list of addresses you trust, or reach it privately from your servers over a private network.

Are backups included?

Yes. Every database is backed up daily, at the hour you choose, and you decide how many backups to keep. You can restore one in place or into a new instance.

What happens when my database grows?

Add storage and the disk grows online, without a restart. When you need more CPU or RAM, move to a bigger plan; that takes a clean restart.

Is Valkey the same as Redis?

Valkey is the open-source fork of Redis. It speaks the same protocol, so it works with the Redis clients you already use.

Is high availability available?

Not yet. Each database runs as a single node for now, with daily backups and restore. We'd rather tell you that up front, so you can plan for it.
