Announcing MySQL Support on Our PaaS Platform
Niklas KarolyFounder Nodion
This announcement is from April 2024. Nodion has since replaced Redis with Valkey. The current engines are in the database docs.
In short
- Managed MySQL on Nodion became generally available in April 2024.
- You create a MySQL database in the dashboard with Create Database and choose MySQL from the available engines.
- The announcement listed a choice of MySQL versions, automated backups and data encryption; today, database backups are opt-in.
- MySQL joined Postgres and Redis, the databases on the platform at the time; today Nodion offers Valkey instead of Redis, see the database docs.
We are excited to share a significant enhancement to our PaaS offering: the addition of MySQL support! Our platform, already known for its robust Postgres and Redis deployments, now empowers developers with the flexibility and power of MySQL databases.
