Database Plans

Zenifra database plans vary in capacity and resources, but some product rules remain the same across plans.

What changes between plans

Plans mainly affect:

compute capacity
available storage
observability features
contract flexibility

Metrics

Confirmed database metrics are:

CPU
RAM
storage

These metrics are available on Premium+ plans.

Instances and topology

PostgreSQL

can operate from 1 to 3 total instances
in hourly billing, instance count can change later
in monthly and yearly billing, instance count is fixed in the contract

MariaDB

always runs with 3 fixed instances
does not allow increasing or decreasing the instance count

Storage

storage can increase
storage can never shrink
on monthly and yearly contracts, storage changes should only happen after the contract ends
increasing storage may cause temporary downtime

Contracts

For monthly and yearly databases:

stopping the database makes it inaccessible
this does not change the final contract charge during the contracted period
disabling automatic renewal lets the contract end without renewal

FAQ

Can I upgrade the plan?

Yes. Operational impact may vary depending on the type of change and the database configuration.

Can I shrink storage later?

No. Storage can increase, but it can never shrink.

Can I change the number of replicas in MariaDB?

No. MariaDB uses 3 fixed instances.

Can I change the number of instances in PostgreSQL?

Yes, in hourly billing. In monthly and yearly billing, the configuration is fixed in the contract.

Do I have root access to the database?

No. The user does not have root or superuser access, but does have enough elevated access to operate the database normally.
