Frequently asked questions about SQL databases

What is a Managed SQL database?

A Managed SQL database is a cloud-hosted relational database service where provisioning, updates, monitoring, and backups are handled by the provider. Unlike self-managed databases, you don’t need a dedicated DBA or operations team. Exoscale handles availability, security patches, failover, and performance tuning, so development teams can focus on building applications instead of managing infrastructure.

What are SQL database products used for?

Managed SQL databases are used to store, organize, and query structured data. Common use cases include e-commerce platforms, SaaS applications, content management systems, financial transaction processing, real-time analytics dashboards, and API backends. They are essential whenever applications require ACID-compliant transactions, relational data modeling, or complex joins across large datasets.

What kind of SQL database services does Exoscale offer?

Exoscale offers Managed PostgreSQL and Managed MySQL as fully managed SQL database services. Both are open-source databases with no vendor lock-in. Both include automated updates, daily backups with point-in-time recovery, vertical scaling, high-availability configurations with automated failover, and compliance with European data protection standards (GDPR, ISO 27001).

How is the pricing structured?

SQL database hosting is billed per second with no long-term commitments or upfront payments. You can select from Hobbyist, Startup, Business, or Premium plans, each tailored to different levels of workload, performance, and reliability. Plans start at approximately €42/month. See our pricing page for current rates, or use the pricing calculator to estimate costs.

Where are Exoscale Managed SQL databases hosted?

All Managed SQL databases are hosted in ISO 27001-certified European data centers across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, and Croatia. Data remains in the country of your chosen zone, ensuring full GDPR compliance and data sovereignty. This makes Exoscale a strong choice for organizations that require European PostgreSQL and MySQL hosting with strict data residency guarantees.

Can I migrate an existing database to Exoscale Managed SQL?

Yes. Exoscale supports standard migration methods for both SQL database services. For PostgreSQL, you can use native tools like pg_dump and pg_restore. For MySQL, mysqldump and replication-based approaches are supported. Our documentation provides step-by-step migration guides to help you move your data securely and with minimal downtime.
