The platform
Everything a production database needs
High availability, backups, security, and observability come wired in — so day two looks like day one.
Five engines
PostgreSQL 14–16, MySQL 8.0/8.1, MongoDB 6/7, Redis 6.2/7, and MariaDB 10.11/11 — your choice.
Multi-AZ high availability
Synchronous standbys across zones with automatic failover in under 60 seconds and zero data loss.
Automated backups & PITR
Daily backups plus continuous archiving — restore to any second within the last 35 days.
Read replicas
Add up to five read replicas with sub-second lag to scale reads and offload analytics.
Encryption everywhere
AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, on by default for every instance.
VPC isolation
Private by default — databases live inside your VPC, reachable only from your own services.
Connection pooling
Built-in PgBouncer and ProxySQL keep thousands of client connections efficient and stable.
Performance insights
Slow-query analytics and live metrics surface the queries that need your attention.
Automated patching
Minor versions and security fixes applied during the maintenance window you choose.
Regions
Three live regions. More on the way.
Deploy in Lagos and your data stays in Nigeria, close to the people using it — or pick either of the other two regions from the same account and the same bill.

Why Lineserve
Managed beats midnight maintenance
Running your own database on a VPS means backups you hope work, manual failovers, and patching at 2 a.m. This is the option where we do all of that for you.
FAQ
Questions, answered
We run the database engine for you — provisioning, backups, patching, monitoring, and failover. You create an instance, get a connection string, and focus on your application.
PostgreSQL 14–16, MySQL 8.0 and 8.1, MongoDB 6.0 and 7.0, Redis 6.2 and 7.0, and MariaDB 10.11 and 11.0 — all with the same managed features.
HA instances replicate across availability zones. If the primary fails, an automatic failover promotes the standby — typically in under 60 seconds, with zero data loss — behind a 99.99% uptime SLA.
Daily automated backups are retained for 35 days with point-in-time recovery to any second in that window. You can also take manual snapshots whenever you like.
Up to five read-only copies of your primary that serve read queries, synced automatically with typically under a second of lag. Use them to scale read-heavy workloads without touching the primary.
Yes. Scale vertically to a larger size within a brief maintenance window, or horizontally by adding read replicas with no downtime at all.
Yes. AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, with platform-managed keys or your own via KMS.
Instances live in a private network with no public access by default. Reach them through security groups and database users, or peer your VPC and connect over VPN from on-premises.
Standard tools work directly — pg_dump and mysqldump for one-shot moves, or logical and binary-log replication for near-zero-downtime migrations. Our team helps plan the move at no charge.
Yes. Your data is hosted in Nigeria and stays in-country, giving you data residency for Nigeria's Data Protection Act (NDPA). It isn't moved out of Nigeria without your instruction.
In our Lagos data centre (ng-1a). Your content is stored and served from Lagos, close to your users.
Pay in Naira by card or bank transfer. No foreign card or forex conversion is required.
You're billed in NGN. Prices can be viewed in USD, KES, TZS, or NGN, but as a Nigeria customer you pay in NGN with no forex conversion.
