About DigitalOcean Managed DBaaS

If you select to install a DigitalOcean Managed Database while creating this 1-click app, DigitalOcean handles the creation of the database cluster as well as the Droplet. The Droplet will have a DATABASE_URL environment variable configured including a database connection string, such as:

*** postgresql://doadmin:@dbaas-db-11111-do-user-1111111-1.b.db.ondigitalocean.com:25060/defaultdb?sslmode=require***

Your managed database configuration and credentials will be stored in /root/.digitalocean_dbaas_credentials

Please note that there is additional configuration needed to connect your managed database to this droplet after creation.
