FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this product

Getting Started

A managed database is a database service where the cloud provider handles all operational tasks including backups, updates, patches, monitoring, and high availability configuration. You simply create a database instance and connect your application. We handle everything else.

Infrastructure

Managed databases are deployed in our Tier III certified data centers in Nairobi (Kenya), Lagos (Nigeria), and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). All database clusters feature automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and 99.99% uptime SLA. High availability configurations replicate data across multiple availability zones within each region.

Technical

We support PostgreSQL (versions 14, 15, 16), MySQL (8.0, 8.1), MongoDB (6.0, 7.0), Redis (6.2, 7.0), and MariaDB (10.11, 11.0). All engines include the same managed features: automated backups, high availability, monitoring, and more.

Features

High availability databases are deployed across multiple availability zones. If the primary database fails, we automatically fail over to a standby replica in another availability zone with zero data loss. Failover typically completes in under 60 seconds.

Read replicas are copies of your primary database that handle read queries. This allows you to scale read performance and distribute read traffic. Replicas are automatically kept in sync with the primary database with minimal lag (typically under 1 second).

Backup

We automatically take daily backups of your database. Backups are stored for 35 days and support point-in-time recovery, allowing you to restore to any second within the retention period. You can also create manual snapshots at any time.

Configuration

Yes, you can scale your database vertically (upgrade to a larger instance size) or horizontally (add read replicas). Vertical scaling requires a brief maintenance window. Horizontal scaling with read replicas can be done without downtime.

Security

Yes, all data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3. You can use Lineserve-managed keys or bring your own keys through KMS integration.

Databases are deployed in private VPCs with no public access by default. You control access using security groups (firewall rules) and database user accounts. You can also use VPC peering or VPN to connect from on-premises.

Monitoring

We provide real-time metrics for CPU, memory, storage, connections, and query performance. You can set up alerts for any metric. Performance insights help you identify slow queries and optimize your database.

Operations

You control when maintenance windows occur. We perform automated patches and minor version updates during your specified maintenance window. Major version upgrades require your approval and can be scheduled at your convenience.

Migration

You can migrate using standard database tools like pg_dump for PostgreSQL or mysqldump for MySQL. We also support logical replication for PostgreSQL and binary log replication for MySQL for zero-downtime migrations.

Billing

Pricing is based on: 1) Instance size (compute and memory), 2) Storage (included + additional), 3) Backups (stored backup size), 4) Data transfer (outbound). There are no setup fees or long-term commitments.
