Why managed MySQL

The compatibility you already build against.

Thousands of apps, plugins and ORMs assume MySQL. We run MySQL 8 with InnoDB, and HA plans run a three-node Galera cluster with automatic failover, so you get the ecosystem you know without owning the upgrades, the backups, or the 3 a.m. page.

InnoDB
Row-level locking and crash-safe transactions.
Galera HA cluster
Three nodes, multi-primary, automatic failover.
{ }
JSON & spatial
Document and GIS types built in.
Online DDL
Alter big tables without locking writes.
Included on every plan

Everything a managed MySQL needs, included.

The operational layer ships with the cluster: protection, networking and observability are how it works, not add-ons.

High availability
HA is a 3-node Galera cluster behind HAProxy: multi-primary, automatic failover, no data loss, +140% of the plan price.
Backups included
Nightly XtraBackup to S3 plus continuous binlog upload: point-in-time recovery to any minute.
Scale without rebuilds
Move up the plan ladder as you grow; storage extends at $0.12 per GB.
TLS + IP allowlists
Encrypted in transit with scoped, per-app credentials.
Private networking
One-click private link to your Raff apps, $0 egress on the fabric.
Metrics & insights
Live metrics and slow-query insights in the console and CLI, free.

FAQ

The questions switchers ask.

Yes. It speaks the standard MySQL wire protocol on port 3306, so existing connection strings, ORMs, WordPress and phpMyAdmin work unchanged. Point them at the new host and go.

On HA plans your database runs on three servers (a Galera cluster) that all hold the same data at all times. If one server fails, traffic moves to a healthy one automatically, with no data loss, no ticket and no manual step.

Yes. MySQL 8 with InnoDB is the database WordPress is built for. Create the cluster, point wp-config.php at the private endpoint (or the public one with an IP allowlist), and daily backups cover the rest.

High availability adds a standby copy of your database that takes over automatically if the main one fails. It costs a fixed percentage of the plan price, from +70% depending on the database, and you see the full cost on the same single bill line before you turn it on.

One line per database: the database you chose and its size, for example Postgres 4 GB. Backups, networking, traffic and monitoring are already inside that price, there is no separate fee for any of them. If you turn on high availability, it adds a fixed percentage to that same line. The only extra line you can ever see is more storage, at a flat price per GB.

Yes, it is a standalone product. Connect from anywhere over TLS with IP allowlists and scoped credentials. If your app runs on Raff Apps, a one-click private link adds a private wire with $0 egress on top.
