Databases

Provision managed databases with one click. Connect them to your applications running on ZevCloud or access them externally.

Supported Databases

Database	Versions	Default Port
PostgreSQL	16, 15, 14	5432
MySQL	8	3306
MariaDB	11	3306
MongoDB	7	27017
Redis	7	6379

Creating a Database

1. Go to your project → Add Service → Database
2. Select the database type and version
3. Set a name
4. Select a plan
5. Click Create

The database is provisioned immediately with auto-generated credentials.

Connection Details

After creation, find your connection details in the service Overview tab:

• Internal hostname — for connecting from other ZevCloud services
• Port — database port
• Username — auto-generated
• Password — auto-generated (click reveal to view)
• Database name — auto-generated
• Connection URL — full connection string

Connecting from Another ZevCloud Service

Use the internal hostname as the database host. Services in the same ZevCloud network can connect directly:

DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@<internal-hostname>:5432/dbname

Add this as an environment variable on your web application service.

Public Access

By default, databases are only accessible within the ZevCloud network.

To connect from external tools (pgAdmin, TablePlus, DBeaver) or your local machine:

1. Go to the Overview tab → Access & Connection
2. Toggle Public Access to ON (requires a paid plan)
3. Use the public host and port shown

Host: apps-sandbox.zevop.net (or your deployment domain)
Port: 54321 (unique per database)

WARNING

Public access exposes your database to the internet. Always use strong passwords and consider IP allowlisting.

Terminal Access

Use the Terminal tab to run database CLI commands:

-- PostgreSQL
psql -U username -d dbname

-- MySQL/MariaDB
mysql -u username -p dbname

-- Redis
redis-cli

-- MongoDB
mongosh

Backups

Export your database via the Terminal:

# PostgreSQL
pg_dump -U user dbname > /tmp/backup.sql

# MySQL
mysqldump -u user -p dbname > /tmp/backup.sql

Download the backup file via SFTP or contact support for assistance.
