Managed databases

Create a database

Pick an engine, pick a version, name it — and Orizon provisions a secured instance with credentials ready to use.

From the dashboard

Open Databasesand create one. Choose the engine (Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, KeyDB, Dragonfly, ClickHouse, Cassandra or SQLite) and a version from that engine's list. Give it a name and an initial database/keyspace name. Orizon provisions the instance and shows you the host, port, username and password.

From the API

Create a database programmatically:

shell

curl -X POST https://api.orizon.ng/v1/databases \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer orz_pk_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "app-db",
    "engine": "postgres",
    "version": "16",
    "databaseName": "app"
  }'

engine (required) — one of the ten engine identifiers (e.g. postgres, mysql, mariadb, mongodb, redis, keydb, dragonfly, clickhouse, cassandra, sqlite).
version(optional) — validated against that engine's list; defaults to the engine's default version when omitted.
name (required) — a label for the instance.
databaseName (optional) — the initial database / keyspace (default app).
username (optional) — the primary user; auto-generated if omitted.

Version changesYou select a version when you create the database. Switching an existing database to a different major version is a managed migration, not an in-place toggle — create the new version and migrate your data.

Connecting

Get the connection string and wire up your app.

Import & restore
