Managed Databases
Managed databases for your applications
Managed Databases are provider-operated clusters provisioned through Unbroker. Choose an available engine, version, region, plan, storage size and node count, then manage the cluster alongside your applications.
For applications that need a database with less host and cluster administration. Engine and plan availability varies by provider and region.
What you can do
Manage the cluster lifecycle
Unbroker exposes cluster state, connection details, resizing, users, logical databases and available provider metrics. The provider provisions and operates the database host.
Keep ownership explicit
You own schemas, indexes, queries, credentials, application migrations and recovery planning. Backup and recovery capabilities depend on the selected engine and plan.
How to get started
- Choose a managed cluster rather than an Apps database template when creating the resource.
- Select the engine, region and plan, checking recovery capabilities and the quoted price.
- Retrieve connection details, configure application credentials and test connectivity before migrating data.
Pricing and plan requirements
Managed databases require Pro and generate usage charges based on the selected cluster configuration. Pro has a $25 monthly commitment and $25 of eligible usage credit per billing cycle. Prices are in USD, excluding applicable taxes. Check the selected engine, plan, storage and node count before provisioning.

Is a database node in Cloud Apps the same as a managed database?
No. An Apps database node runs a database image as a private application service. A managed database is a provider-operated cluster. They differ in scaling, metrics, user administration and backup options.
Are all backup and recovery features included?
No universal recovery guarantee applies to every engine and plan. Confirm the selected provider's capabilities and define and test your recovery policy.
Can I connect from my application?
Use the cluster's connection details and the connectivity options documented for your setup. Keep credentials in application configuration, outside source control.
