You can now view hundreds of new database metrics by accessing the metrics API endpoint. For more detailed steps, see our guides for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka.
PostgreSQL 11 is now deprecated. Starting on 6 November 2023, all existing PostgreSQL 11 database clusters will automatically upgrade to PostgreSQL 15 during the cluster’s upgrade window.
The following MySQL and PostgreSQL plans are now deprecated:
All of your existing database clusters with these plans are still functional and accessible to you. However, you cannot resize them. To regain access to these features, fork your database to a new cluster with a supported plan. For more detailed steps, see our guides on how to fork MySQL databases and fork PostgreSQL databases.
When creating or resizing MySQL or PostgreSQL clusters on DigitalOcean, you can now add additional storage independently from your chosen database configuration plan. This provides a more economic option for increasing storage, rather than upgrading your cluster’s entire plan.
For more details, see our guides on how to resize MySQL clusters and resize PostgreSQL clusters.
PostgreSQL clusters on DigitalOcean now support the pgvector extension, for vector similarity search. For a full list of supported extensions, see our guide Supported PostgreSQL Extensions.
PostgreSQL 15 is now available for database clusters. You can also now perform in-place upgrades for PostgreSQL clusters to newer versions without any downtime. We currently support PostgreSQL 12, 13, 14, and 15.
When creating a new Kubernetes cluster, you can add a free database operator (now in beta), which allows you to automatically link new databases to your cluster. For more details, see our guide.
In App Platform, you can now create bindable environment variables for your PostgreSQL database connection pools. For detailed instructions, see our reference page.
In order to improve security, DigitalOcean no longer accepts TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 connections. This includes connections to www.digitalocean.com, cloud.digitalocean.com, and api.digitalocean.com.
You can now configure your MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis Managed Databases by making a PATCH request to /v2/databases/{database_cluster_uuid}/config. For example:
{
"config": {
"sql_mode": "ANSI,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,STRICT_ALL_TABLES",
"sql_require_primary_key": true
}
}
For more details, see the full reference documentation for the managed databases API.
PostgreSQL 14 is now available for database clusters. You can upgrade earlier versions of PostgreSQL clusters to newer versions without any downtime using the DigitalOcean Control Panel.
The database online migration feature for the MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis database engines no longer supports migrating databases from clusters inside of DigitalOcean to other clusters inside of DigitalOcean.
Online migration is now available for the MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis database engines. Online migration allows you to migrate databases from external servers or cloud providers to databases in your DigitalOcean account.
PostgreSQL 13 is now available for database clusters. You can also now perform in-place upgrades for PostgreSQL clusters to newer versions without any downtime. We currently support PostgreSQL 10, 11, 12, and 13.
Online migration for PostgreSQL and Redis databases has been released in Beta. Select users can now migrate Redis and PostgreSQL databases that reside inside and outside of DigitalOcean to existing database clusters in their DigitalOcean account. Redis migrations from AWS ElasticCache are not currently supported.
PostgreSQL 12 is now available for database clusters. You can also now perform in-place upgrades for PostgreSQL clusters to newer versions without any downtime. We currently support PostgreSQL 10, 11, and 12.
The DigitalOcean Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service is now available for all customers. VPC replaces the private networking service. Existing private networks will continue to function as normal but with the enhanced security and features of the VPC service. See the description of VPC features for more information.
We began the incremental release of the DigitalOcean Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service. It will be available for all customers soon. VPC replaces the private networking service.
DigitalOcean Managed Databases were released with support for PostgreSQL v10 and v11.
