Database engines and versions
The MySQL, PostgreSQL and Valkey versions Drasken Cloud offers, what each version status means, and Valkey's durable and cache modes.
Drasken Cloud offers MySQL 8.4, PostgreSQL 17 and 18 and Valkey 9.0 and 9.1, each from the engine's official image. The create page chooses the recommended version for you and labels every version Recommended, Supported, Deprecated or End of life, so you know which version to choose.
What do the version labels mean?
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Recommended | The version we suggest for new databases |
| Supported | Fully supported; fine for new databases |
| Deprecated | It still runs, but choose a newer version for anything new |
| End of life | The engine's own support has ended; move to a newer version |
MySQL
MySQL 8.4, the long-term-support release. Plans start at 1 GB of memory.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL 17 and 18. Each plan sets a maximum number of connections; you can set a lower one when you create the database.
Valkey
Valkey is an open-source, Redis-compatible in-memory store: existing Redis clients and commands work with it. Choose a mode when you create it — it can't be changed later:
| Mode | Data on disk | Backups | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Durable | Kept on disk, survives restarts | Yes | Sessions, queues, anything you must not lose |
| Cache | Nothing is kept on disk; no storage is used or charged | No | Caches you can rebuild |
Which engines are coming?
MongoDB and OpenSearch are marked Coming soon on the create page.
