# Managed databases

Week ending June 5, 2026.

- **Databases.** Managed Postgres, MySQL, Redis and MongoDB databases, created with `ample database create`.
- **Databases.** When an app needs a database and no URL is supplied, `ample deploy` provisions a managed one and injects its connection string.
- **Deploy.** A committed .env or .env.production is imported as encrypted deploy environment. Explicit --env and --env-file values win, and local database URLs are replaced by the managed database.
- **Databases.** Managed databases accept connections only from your own apps.
- **Pricing.** The free plan fits one app plus one managed database. Destroying an app's server also removes any database provisioned automatically for its apps.
