Databases

Provision managed PostgreSQL and Redis services with predictable pricing, automated backups, and simple connection workflows.

Supported databases

Nouva provides one click PostgreSQL and Redis services. Choose a tier, pick a version, and the database is ready to connect in minutes.

  • PostgreSQL 17, 16, and 15.
  • Redis 7.4, 7.2, and 7.0.
  • Tiered CPU, memory, and storage with clear monthly pricing.

Connection details

Nouva injects connection credentials into your services as environment variables. Use the private URLs for services inside the same project, and public URLs for external clients.

  • Postgres: DATABASE_URL, DATABASE_PRIVATE_URL, DATABASE_PUBLIC_URL.
  • Redis: REDIS_URL, REDIS_PRIVATE_URL, REDIS_PUBLIC_URL.

Backups and recovery

Database services include automated backups and point in time recovery for supported tiers. Restore into a new service to verify data before switching production traffic.

Best practices

  • Keep migrations in your app repository and deploy them alongside code changes.
  • Use private URLs for services running inside Nouva for lower latency.
  • Schedule backup checks and validate restores in staging.
