Our v0.9.0-alpha release is a major step forward in the stability and usefulness of our broker.

Beginning with this release, our support for all three relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MS SQL) includes three different types of service:

  1. An "all-in-on" option that provisions both a DBMS (server) and a single database upon that DBMS. This is the easiest path to provisioning a new database, but because databases provisioned in this way exist in a 1:1 ration with the servers that host them, is perhaps not the most cost-effective option.

  2. A "DBMS only" option that provisions just a DBMS (server), but no databases thereupon. This is useful combined with...

  3. A "database only" option that provisions just a database on a DBMS of your choice. (See above.) This option enables multiple databases to be provisioned on a single server for greater cost efficiency. Note that if the request to provision a database references a DBMS that does not yet exist or has not yet completed its own provisioning process, the broker will intelligently defer database provisioning until it is able to proceed.

Please reference documentation and examples for further details on these new capabilities and note that while reshaping our support for these services as described above, service and plan names have changed. (Once the broker is stable and GA, service and plan names will be treated as immutable. For now, we have the luxury of tweaking these names until we are satisfied with them and we are availing ourselves of that opportunity whilst it exists.)

Lastly, another huge stride forward in our support for all three of the relational databases is the ability to specify multiple firewall rules when provisioning "all-in-one" or "DBMS only" services.

The maturity of our support for these three services has taken such a leap forward that we're promoting all three from an experimental state to preview. This expresses our confidence that our support for these services is coalescing into something we believe is a good approximation of what they will look like in their final, stable state. Note that we still reserve the right to make breaking changes, if needed, until the broker itself is declared GA.
