pydo.databases

DigitalOcean’s managed database service simplifies the creation and management of highly available database clusters.

Currently, it offers support for PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, and OpenSearch.

By sending requests to the /v2/databases endpoint, you can list, create, or delete database clusters as well as scale the size of a cluster, add or remove read-only replicas, and manage other configuration details.

Database clusters may be deployed in a multi-node, high-availability configuration. If your machine type is above the basic nodes, your node plan is above the smallest option, or you are running MongoDB, you may additionally include up to two standby nodes in your cluster.

The size of individual nodes in a database cluster is represented by a human-readable slug, which is used in some of the following requests. Each slug denotes the node’s identifier, CPU count, and amount of RAM, in that order.

For a list of currently available database slugs and options, use the /v2/databases/options endpoint or use the doctl databases options command.
