Create a Database

Deploy a PostgreSQL or MariaDB instance into a project on lowcloud Platform.

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Create a database

In your project, click + Create Service → Database.

  1. Pick a template. PostgreSQL or MariaDB.
  2. Name your service (e.g. app-db). Other services in this project will reach the database under this name, so keep it short and friendly.
  3. Set the passwords. The template ships with placeholder values (changeme) for the password environment variables. Replace them with strong values before deploying. You can also change the database name and username here.
  4. Pick a container size tier. Databases want more memory than small web services, so size up accordingly.
  5. Click Deploy Database.

A 10 GiB block storage volume is provisioned automatically and mounted at the database's data directory.

Templates

Run PostgreSQL or MariaDB alongside your apps on lowcloud Platform, with persistent storage included.

Connect

Reach your database from a web service in the same project, with no public exposure.
