High Availability Addons for Databases and Storage

We are excited to announce Northflank Addons are now available to all users and teams in supported regions. Deploy highly available persistent workloads such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, and MinIO in seconds.

Northflank Addons is our DBaaS solution, bringing a consistent and comprehensive operator pattern across multiple popular databases and object stores to any Kubernetes cluster. Create, backup, scale, secure and observe stateful workloads via UI, CLI or programmatically via our API or Javascript Client.
