Databases - Hyze Cloud

Hyze Cloud provisions and operates managed databases inside your workspace. You create the instance through the API or dashboard, receive a connection string, and inject it into your app as an environment variable.

Available engines

Engine	Typical use
PostgreSQL	Relational data, the default for most APIs
MySQL	Relational data with a MySQL ecosystem
MongoDB	Document data
Redis	Cache, queues, and counters

How apps connect

On creation, Hyze returns a connectionString. Store it as an app environment variable:

{
  "name": "prod-postgres",
  "engine": "postgresql",
  "memoryMB": 1024,
  "storageGB": 20
}

curl -X PUT https://api.hyzecloud.com/api/apps/app_001/env \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer hyze_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "envVars": { "DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db" } }'

Treat the connection string as a secret. It grants full data access. Never commit it, never paste it into logs, and rotate the password if it leaks — POST /api/databases/:id/rotate-password.

Operations

Hyze handles the lifecycle: start, stop, stats, logs, backups, and restore. All available through the databases API. By default, creation uses memoryMB: 512 and storageGB: 5 (minimums of 256 MB and 1 GB).
