Databases

Overview of database options for Discloud apps, built-in templates (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB) and external MongoDB Atlas configuration.

🧭 Overview

Discloud applications can connect either to:

📦 Template Catalog (Managed Instances)

Built-in managed service templates you provision through the Templates catalog.

🌍 Using External MongoDB Atlas

External MongoDB Atlas database-as-a-Service provider that you configure manually.

---

📦 Template Catalog (Managed Instances)

Provisioning a database template (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB):

1

Open the Templates page: https://discloud.com/templates

2

Choose the desired template (database engine or tooling panel).

3

Provide a name and required environment variables (the UI indicates mandatory ones).

4

Deploy. Credentials / connection strings become available for your app configuration.

Need Another Template?

Open a support ticket in the Discord server with the engine name, version, and use case. The team evaluates feasibility and may add it to the catalog.

🌍 Using External MongoDB Atlas

If you opt for MongoDB Atlas instead of a template:

1

Create a free or paid cluster at https://www.mongodb.com/

2

In Network Access, add IP: 0.0.0.0/0 (Allow from Anywhere) so Discloud containers can connect.

3

Test connectivity locally before deploying if possible.
