What is this?

Cloud SQL/managed Postgres/SQL Server give relational databases with automated backups and patching options.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse transactional orders stay on managed SQL with private networking.

See it live — copy this example

Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.

# private access
# Azure SQL / RDS in private subnet or private endpoint
# app uses IAM/AAD auth when possible
# automated backups + PITR enabled

What happened?

  • Still design indexes and schemas.
  • Network isolation + encryption mandatory.
  • Rightsize DTU/vCore.

Practice next

  1. Provision small managed SQL.
  2. Private connectivity.
  3. Restore drill once.
  4. Enable PITR.
  5. AAD/IAM auth.

Remember

Managed relational. Private + backup. You still tune SQL.

CloudVerse managed SQL

Orders DB private endpoint.

Outcome: Backups on; no public port.
