Managed databases

VexaNode runs managed databases so you do not have to patch, back up or secure a database server yourself.

Engines

Engine	Typical use
MongoDB	Discord bots, flexible documents
Redis	Caching, sessions, queues, leaderboards
PostgreSQL	Apps that need SQL, transactions

Create one

1. Order Managed Databases and pick the engine and size.
2. Your connection string appears in the client area:

mongodb://user:pass@db-xx.vexanode.gg:27017/mydb
redis://default:pass@db-xx.vexanode.gg:6379
postgresql://user:pass@db-xx.vexanode.gg:5432/mydb

Connect from your bot (Node.js)

// MongoDB
const { MongoClient } = require("mongodb");
const client = new MongoClient(process.env.MONGO_URI);
await client.connect();

// Redis
import { createClient } from "redis";
const redis = createClient({ url: process.env.REDIS_URL });
await redis.connect();

Security

• Keep the credentials in panel variables, never in public code.
• By default only your own services can reach the database. Ask support to whitelist an extra IP.
• Databases are backed up automatically; increase retention on request.

INFO

Do not expose your database port publicly. Every open database port on the internet is scanned within minutes.
