Why choose Square Cloud?
Managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis instances, provisioned in a couple of clicks and reachable over an encrypted, certificate-authenticated connection. You get a production database without tuning a server, managing backups or paying for the bandwidth your app moves.NVMe-backed storage
Instances run on enterprise Samsung NVMe SSDs, where random-read latency dominates real-world query performance — so indexed lookups and write-heavy workloads stay fast.
Zero network fees
No ingress or egress charges. Read and write as much as your application needs without a metered-bandwidth bill — a cost that quietly dominates on most cloud providers.
Instant snapshots
One-click restore points included at no extra cost. Recover from a bad migration or accidental delete without leaving the dashboard.
Encrypted by default
Instances only accept SSL/TLS connections with Square Cloud-managed certificates. Plaintext connections are refused, so your data is encrypted in transit without any extra configuration.
