Storage & Database Hosting
Elastic storage for files and volumes plus tuned relational databases-S3‑style object buckets, high‑IOPS block volumes, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and fully managed database operations with backups, HA, and monitoring.
Storage types and database options
- Object Storage: Store unstructured data (media, logs, backups) as objects in flat buckets with rich metadata-HTTP/S access and massive scale.
- Block Storage: High‑performance volumes for servers and databases-low latency, consistent IOPS, and filesystem‑ready.
- MySQL & MariaDB: Widely used relational engines for apps and ecommerce-fast reads, broad ecosystem, replication options.
- PostgreSQL: Advanced SQL with rich types, JSON, and extensions-great for analytics‑heavy and complex relational workloads.
- Managed Database: We handle patches, HA, backups/PITR, scaling, and monitoring-ship features, not DBA tickets.
Use object storage for static assets, logs, and backups; attach block storage for latency‑sensitive workloads like databases and VM disks.

Storage & database – comparison
Rule of thumb: objects for scale and archives; blocks for low‑latency filesystems; choose MySQL/MariaDB for broad app fit, PostgreSQL for advanced SQL and extension ecosystem; go Managed when uptime and velocity matter most.
Object storage tips
Enable versioning + lifecycle to control cost; use signed URLs and buckets per environment; pair with CDN for edge delivery.
Block storage tips
Use NVMe for DB data and logs; schedule snapshots; monitor latency (P99) and queue depth; align filesystem to volume.
Database tips
Define backup windows + PITR targets; index hot queries; isolate OLTP vs analytics; plan HA (replicas/failover) before traffic spikes.
Zero‑downtime rollout
- Assess: data types, growth, RPO/RTO, IOPS/latency targets
- Design: bucket policies, volume sizes, DB engine & HA shape
- Stage: load tests, failover drills, backup/restore validation
- Cutover: low‑traffic window, replication catch‑up, DNS swaps
- Operate: dashboards, alerts, lifecycle/sizing reviews
Storage & Database FAQs
When should I use object storage vs block storage?
Use object storage for unstructured data, archival, media, and logs where scale and metadata matter; use block storage for filesystems, VMs, and databases that need low latency and consistent IOPS.
MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL-how to choose?
Pick MySQL/MariaDB for broad app compatibility and simple replication; choose PostgreSQL for complex queries, JSON, extensions, and stricter relational guarantees for analytics‑heavy apps.
What’s included with Managed Database hosting?
Patching and upgrades, HA design and failover, automated backups and point‑in‑time recovery, performance monitoring/tuning, security baselines, and cost/right‑sizing reviews.
Can you migrate my existing database without downtime?
Yes-set up replication or staged imports, validate on staging, then perform a low‑traffic cutover with rollback ready.
