Secure cloud
databases
Scalable cloud databases, reachable only from inside the LAY7 cloud. External access via SSH tunnel or through the secured phpMyAdmin straight from the LAY7 cloud. Automatic backups, highly available hosting, guaranteed performance and flexible scaling.
The plus
in security.
Database security is a central element of the LAY7 cloud platform strategy. Data leaks often occur due to misconfigured, publicly accessible databases. With us, your databases are protected against such risks by default.
All databases are accessible only through our internal network, shielding them from external access. Should you require external access, it can be controlled via a LAY7 Space acting as a tunnel.
Access through phpMyAdmin is additionally secured by the central LAY7 authentication system. Only authorized users can access your databases.
Private network
Databases are reachable only from inside the LAY7 cloud network. No public port, no misconfiguration possible.
External access via tunnel
When external access is required, it runs through a LAY7 Space acting as a controlled SSH tunnel.
phpMyAdmin via LAY7 cloud
phpMyAdmin runs directly inside the LAY7 cloud and is protected by the central authentication.
Multiple database users
In addition to the root user, you can create further accounts, with either read-only or write access.
Scalable
at a click.
One of the standout features is flexible scaling. As your application grows, your database grows with it, all without complicated migration processes.
You can increase or decrease the performance level at any time, adapting CPU and RAM resources to the current needs of your database.
The available storage can also be dynamically adjusted in 1 GB increments. This allows precise control over resources and costs, without compromising on performance.
What runs
under the hood.
To ensure you know exactly what to expect, we have summarized the most important technical information about our database solution.
Our databases run entirely on NVMe SSD storage within our cloud infrastructure and are fully MySQL-compatible. Storage can be flexibly adjusted in 1 GB increments.
-
You can choose from various current versions. Versions and updates are fully managed by us. Your database is always up to date.
-
Through the performance level, you adjust the CPU and RAM resources of your database instance. These adjustments are possible at any time and are implemented immediately.
-
Access via phpMyAdmin is enabled by default and protected by the central LAY7 authentication system. Only authorized users have access.
-
For security reasons, databases are not publicly accessible by default. External access can be controlled via a LAY7 Space, which functions as a tunnel.
Seamless inside
your own project.
Connecting your application to the database is particularly easy. Each database instance receives an internal network address that can be directly used in your projects. This saves configuration and ensures minimal latency.
Since all workloads (from Spaces to APIs and cron jobs) operate within the same cloud network, you benefit from stable and high-performance communication between application and database.
Thanks to MySQL compatibility, you can run your application without changes to drivers or libraries. Whether Laravel, Symfony or custom implementation: the LAY7 cloud seamlessly integrates with your existing infrastructure.
Four reasons
at a glance.
There are many reasons to choose the managed database hosting of the LAY7 cloud. In addition to scalability and security, ease of use is paramount.
The combination of powerful infrastructure, intelligent network architecture and intuitive user guidance makes our solution the ideal choice for development teams, agencies and startups.
Even though much happens automatically in the background, you always have full control. Through the intuitive dashboard you manage all your databases, adjust performance and storage, or securely access your tables via phpMyAdmin.
Easily scalable
Storage and performance levels can be adjusted at any time with a click, without relocation.
Automatically secured
Access rights and network rules are intelligently preset. For security from the start.
