Running out of disk space in a MySQL environment can result in failed writes, temporary unavailability, and even data corruption. MySQL requires space not only for storing table data and indexes, but also for binary logs, temporary tables, transaction logs, an...

As your MySQL database grows, it’s crucial to track how space is being used across schemas, tables, and indexes. Uncontrolled growth can slow down queries, consume disk space, and complicate backups. While Elestio provides managed infrastructure, database stor...

Hydra is an open-source OAuth2 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) server and identity provider written in Go. Developed by Ory, Hydra acts as a secure, scalable authentication and authorization layer for modern applications. It does not manage user identities directly ...

Elestio provides a complete solution for setting up and managing software clusters. This helps users deploy, scale, and maintain applications more reliably. Clustering improves performance and ensures that services remain available, even if one part of the sys...

Creating a cluster is a foundational step when deploying services in Elestio. Clusters provide isolated environments where you can run containerized workloads, databases, and applications. Elestio’s web dashboard helps the process, allowing you to configure co...

Node management plays a critical role in operating reliable and scalable infrastructure on Elestio. Whether you’re deploying stateless applications or stateful services like databases, managing the underlying compute units nodes is essential for maintaining st...

As your application usage grows or your infrastructure requirements change, scaling your cluster becomes essential. In Elestio, you can scale horizontally by adding new nodes to an existing cluster. This operation allows you to expand your compute capacity, im...

Clusters can be designed for high availability or role-based workloads, where certain nodes may take on leadership or coordination responsibilities. In these scenarios, promoting a node is a key administrative task. It allows you to change the role of a node. ...

Over time, infrastructure needs change. You may scale down a cluster after peak load, decommission outdated resources, or remove a node that is no longer needed for cost, isolation, or maintenance reasons. Removing a node from a cluster is a safe and structure...

Reliable backups are essential for data resilience, recovery, and business continuity. Elestio provides built-in support for managing backups across all supported services, ensuring that your data is protected against accidental loss, corruption, or infrastruc...

When managing production-grade services, the ability to perform reliable and repeatable database migrations is critical. Whether you’re applying schema changes, updating seed data, or managing version-controlled transitions, Elestio provides a built-in mechani...

When a cluster is no longer needed—whether it was created for testing, staging, or an obsolete workload—deleting it helps free up resources and maintain a clean infrastructure footprint. Elestio provides a straightforward and secure way to delete entire cluste...

Securing access to services is a fundamental part of managing cloud infrastructure. One of the most effective ways to reduce unauthorized access is by restricting connectivity to a defined set of IP addresses. Elestio supports IP-based access control through i...

In distributed systems, consistency and synchronization between nodes are critical to ensure that services behave reliably and that data remains accurate across the cluster. Elestio provides built-in mechanisms to detect and resolve inconsistencies across node...
