DATA SERVICES

The engines Depfloy provisions, and the versions it installs.

Six engines run on your machine, not ours: PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, Redis, Valkey and Meilisearch. Each gets its own server role, so a database server is a database server rather than an app server with a database sitting on it.

Engine Versions you can pick Installs by default
PostgreSQL 18 · 17 · 16 18
MySQL 8 8
Redis No choice offered 8.4
Valkey 8.1 · 8.0 8.1
ClickHouse No choice offered latest
Meilisearch 1.11 · 1.10 · 1.9 1.11
THE LIMITS, PRECISELY

Two things this table does not say on its own.

Two of the six give you no version to pick

PostgreSQL, MySQL, Meilisearch and Valkey are chosen from a list. Redis installs 8.4, and ClickHouse installs whatever latest resolves to on the day you provision it — which means a ClickHouse server built in March and one built in August are not guaranteed to match. If pinning matters to you, that is a real limitation today.

MongoDB and MariaDB, exactly

MongoDB is not provisioned and not backed up — the product knows the name and does not install it. MariaDB is the other way around: Depfloy will not install one, but it backs up and restores an existing MariaDB through the MySQL adapter. Both distinctions matter more than they look, because getting them the wrong way round is the most common mistake made about what Depfloy supports.

What each plan reaches. Provisioning any of these six works on every plan, including Starter at $5 a month. Scheduled backups and restore start at Pro. PgBouncer connection pooling and PostgreSQL replication are Business.

QUESTIONS

Whose machine, whose data.

Do you host the databases? +
No. Every engine here is installed on a server you rent and keep root on. Depfloy automates the provisioning, the configuration and the backups; the machine, the data and the provider invoice stay yours. That is the whole difference between this and a managed database service.
Where do backups go, and what can be restored? +
To S3, Cloudflare R2, any S3-compatible endpoint, SFTP, FTP, or the server disk itself. The backup sources are MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Valkey, ClickHouse, Meilisearch and project files. Restore is included rather than sold separately. Scheduled backups and restore start at the Pro plan.
