Relational cloud database # MySQL database container Run MySQL in an isolated environment with persistent storage and private networking. Plan its resource allocation within your monthly zone package. [Get started](https://panel.deplomo.com/signup)[View in marketplace](/marketplace) ## MySQL container deployment considerations MySQL with persistent storage and private-network routing where configured. ### Persistent storage for MySQL data MySQL query performance depends on storage, resources, schema, and workload. ### MySQL container deployment A MySQL container can reduce the need to configure an operating system yourself. International service creation is currently paused. ### Private-network access Applications can connect over the configured private network. Review access settings before deployment. ### MySQL tools and compatibility Connect compatible tools such as DBeaver or MySQL Workbench using the database credentials and network settings available for your deployment. ### Persistent data storage MySQL data is stored on a persistent volume. Configure and test a separate backup process; storage alone does not prevent data loss. ### Fixed monthly packages Allocate MySQL CPU and RAM within the limits of your fixed monthly zone package. ## Frequently asked questions about MySQL hosting Answers to common developer questions about MySQL, compatibility, and container deployment: What is MySQL, and how is it used? What differs between cloud MySQL and a self-managed MySQL server? How do applications connect to a MySQL service in the cloud? How does MySQL compare with PostgreSQL and MariaDB? How is MySQL hosting priced on Deplomo Cloud? ## MySQL in a container: setup, storage, and operations MySQL is a relational database commonly used for web applications. A container can simplify deployment, but review resource limits, persistent storage, network access, and operational responsibilities before use. ### MySQL storage and query performance MySQL performance depends on storage, package resources, schema, query patterns, and workload. Configure and monitor the database for your application; no latency or throughput is guaranteed.

Comparison	MySQL on Deplomo Cloud	Manual setup on a VPS	Shared-hosting database
Setup and delivery time	Setup depends on service availability and configuration	Manual setup depends on the server and administrator	Available tools depend on the hosting environment
Storage and disk I/O speed	Storage type depends on the selected package and deployment	Disk performance depends on the server provider	Shared storage performance depends on provider and workload
Networking and data access	Private-network connectivity where configured	Firewall and port settings depend on the deployment	Shared-hosting isolation depends on provider configuration
Pricing and resource planning	Fixed monthly EUR package pricing	Package capacity is billed monthly, whether or not all resources are used	Billing terms and resource limits depend on the provider
Resource changes	Resource changes depend on package limits and service configuration	Changes may require maintenance, depending on the server	Available resource options depend on the provider

### MySQL use cases in web applications MySQL is a relational database commonly used for content management systems, ecommerce, customer-management applications, and APIs. Choose a configuration suited to the application’s transactional and reporting needs. [Cloud database](/products/databases) Application data protection depends on database, network, access, and backup configuration. ### Connect MySQL to web frameworks such as Laravel Laravel applications can connect to MySQL using supported drivers. Technical teams can also deploy relational database services such as [Buy Laravel hosting](/products/laravel) over the configured private network where available. Performance depends on the application and network. ### Choosing a database: MySQL and other options MySQL is one option for relational data. If your application needs a document database, consider [Host mongodb](/marketplace/apps/mongodb) . MariaDB is another relational option with its own features; compare versions and workload requirements. [host mariadb](/marketplace/apps/mariadb) . PostgreSQL may fit applications that rely on its specific data types and query features; assess your use case and version requirements. [Postgresql host](/marketplace/apps/postgresql) Choose a database based on your application and operational needs. ### MySQL administration tools and access Connect compatible database tools such as DBeaver or MySQL Workbench using the credentials and network access available for your deployment. Configure permissions carefully; custom backups require a separate process. ### MySQL package and service availability The existing Free plan includes 256 MB of RAM. No promotional credits are included, and international service creation is currently paused. ## Plan a MySQL deployment MySQL resources count toward your selected monthly package. International service creation is currently paused. [MySQL database hosting](https://panel.deplomo.com/signup)
