Why redu
The database your app already expects.
A dedicated MySQL or MariaDB your agent stands up and connects, so your existing app just works.
Its own dedicated VM
Each database runs on its own machine, physically isolated, and your agent can SSH in to tune or fix it.
For apps that expect MySQL
WordPress, WooCommerce, and countless frameworks assume MySQL or MariaDB. Run them without adapting your app.
Auto-wired, no glue code
The connection environment is injected, including DATABASE_* aliases, so most frameworks connect with no extra configuration.
Priced by the VM it runs on
It runs on its own VM, so it is priced at standard instance rates for that VM size, billed by the hour. New accounts start with £200 in credits, hosted in the EU. See instance pricing for the rates.
FAQ
Managed MySQL and MariaDB questions
MySQL or MariaDB?
Both. Choose the engine your app expects when you create the database; each runs as a managed instance on its own VM.
Does it work with WordPress and WooCommerce?
Yes. They expect MySQL or MariaDB, which is exactly what this provides, on its own dedicated VM.
How does my app connect?
redu injects DATABASE_* aliases alongside the native MYSQL_* variables, so most frameworks connect with no extra mapping.
Where is it hosted?
In the EU, in a German data centre, so your data stays within EU jurisdiction.
