# Databases · Light Cloud

> Provision managed PostgreSQL from the same project you deploy from. Pick a tier, region, and storage size, and get encrypted credentials wired in.

## What you get

- **Managed PostgreSQL.** A production Postgres instance, provisioned for you on Cloud SQL. No servers to patch or back up by hand.
- **Pick your size.** Choose a tier, region, and storage size when you create it, and change them as the app grows.
- **High availability.** Turn on high availability for workloads that cannot take downtime.
- **Encrypted credentials.** The admin password is encrypted at rest. Connection details are wired into your app as environment variables.
- **Wired to your app.** The database connects to the application in the same project, so your backend can reach it without extra setup.
- **Part of the same platform.** Frontend, backend, and database live together. One place to deploy, one place to manage.

## Full stack in one place

Most hosts stop at the frontend and leave the database to you. Light Cloud runs the whole app: a static site or a container for the code, and a managed Postgres instance for the data, provisioned and connected from the same console. You deploy from GitHub and your backend already knows how to reach the database.
