TL;DR MySQL
MySQL is available as a fully managed database on CloudSonic with automated backups, 3 node replication, and performance tuning included on every plan.
MySQL is the world's most widely used open source relational database, available as a fully managed database on CloudSonic. It powers WordPress, WooCommerce, and thousands of other web applications, which is why understanding it is fundamental to web hosting. CloudSonic manages backups, replication, and performance tuning so you never need to touch the database configuration itself.
MySQL as a Managed Database on CloudSonic
CloudSonic manages MySQL at the infrastructure level, handling installation, configuration, replication, backups, and performance tuning so you never need to touch a database configuration file. Every managed MySQL instance runs on a 3 node replication setup with one primary and two replicas, automated daily backups with one click restore, and an InnoDB buffer pool sized to available server RAM for maximum query performance. If you need a MySQL-compatible database with additional performance features, MariaDB is also available as a fully managed option on every CloudSonic plan.
