Why Compose
Running databases in production is hard. That’s why we built Compose: to help developers run databases reliably, securely, quickly, and easily – 24/7.

Our fully managed, database-as-a-service makes it easy for developers to run one, or hundreds, of databases without the hassle and complexity of managing database operations. Get peace of mind with standard, production-grade high-availability, auto-failover, autoscaling, encryption, and more.
Learn more about the databases available on ComposeAuto-scaling
Depending on the database, we track either storage or RAM and automatically detect when your database needs more, adding appropriate bundles of either. Or you can take control yourself and manually add capacity in anticipation of traffic. With Compose, you databases always have the resources they need to scale.
Auto-everything else
Compose deployments are built around high availability configurations with multiple nodes spread over local zones, ready to step in in the event of failure. Access portals are also redundantly provisioned to provide a second layer of failover. Daily, weekly, and monthly backups are included, too, without affecting your database performance.
The fastest solutions on one platform
Easily select the right database(s) for building your applications. With Compose, another database technology is literally a click away.
Run all your databases here
Each database can be deployed in minutes into the data center of your choosing. Access and manage your databases through our simplified UI, via the CLI, or programmatically through our robust set of APIs.
Easy upgrades
Upgrade with ease to the most recent stable release right from the Compose web console. After ensuring a new database version is ready for release, we make it available and advise on any upgrade path issues.
The need for speed
Run your database on expertly-specified hardware with enterprise-grade SSDs. With Compose’s auto-scaling, we ensure your hot data can stay in memory to get an extra boost.
Simplified pricing
We’ve taken the guesswork out of building and configuring servers. With Compose, everything is done for you. Similarly, we’ve removed the complexity around pricing and offer flat rates billed hourly. Only pay for what you use. It’s that simple.
Why Compose?
Compose is ideal for teams who want to spend more time developing their app and less time capacity planning. Compose offers instant peace of mind with strong security, automatic backups, replication, and monitoring.

"We started using Compose and in one-click, it worked perfectly. Best of all, I was really confident that we weren't going to lose any data. Databases are difficult, but Compose makes it really easy."Gregory Koberger, Founder
Seriously secure
Each deployment is put into its own private VLAN. And that’s where our security starts.
Each Compose deployment runs on a private VLAN, with IP allowlisting, TLS/SSL encryption for data in motion, and user access controls for shared accounts. At the account level, we offer 2FA with SMS, Yubikey, and third-party authentication apps.
