What are Add-ons?

Add-ons provide additional functionalities that enhance the capabilities of your environment. These include database storage, caching solutions, and other essential services required to run applications efficiently. Users can configure and deploy add-ons directly within their environments.

Currently, Cloudsania provides storage add-ons for relational databases:

📌 PostgreSQL - A powerful open-source relational database management system.

📌 MySQL - A widely used relational database for structured data management.
