Databases

Webslice Serverless databases are built on a highly scalable, enterprise grade database infrastructure that automatically handles scaling, replication, and failover without any manual intervention. Our intelligent proxy layer sits between your application and the database cluster, providing real-time query monitoring and traffic analysis. This proxy architecture also enables seamless localhost connections during both runtime and release commands, eliminating the need to manage connection strings or network configurations.

The result is a database that scales with your application’s needs while giving you redundant infrastructure at the fraction of standalone pricing.

Access

You must first link a database to your website before you can access it. You can do this on the “Databases” tab of your website.

Your database is accessible via localhost on port 3306 inside the live environment. This makes it available to your Release Scripts but not Build Scripts.

You can also access your database remotely, such as using a local MySQL client. You can find the address in the Webslice Console by clicking on your database and looking under External Connection. Data transfer is charged at a higher rate when using the external connection.
