Everything in One Place
Your apps and databases live together on Galaxy. Zero charges for data moving between them.
Pick Your Database
Choose the database that fits your needs. Not sure? Start with PostgreSQL for most apps, MongoDB for flexible data structures, Redis for caching.
MongoDB
Flexible document database. Good for data that changes structure as your app evolves.
PostgreSQL
Relational database with strict structure. Good for most applications that need reliable data.
Redis
In-memory store for caching and real-time features. Blazingly fast, data expires over time.
Creating a Database

Once running, click your database to get the connection string. Add it as an environment variable in your app's settings, and you're connected.
Region Matters
Pick the same region as your app for fastest performance. Same-region traffic is also free.
