    @Thundas said: @Francisco do crate plans need to use the offloaded db too?

    You should if your SQL is busy enough. Cloudlinux has a hard time keeping MySQL in check if There's enough users slapping it enough.

    For crates we're likely to give it to you for free if you're not 100's of GB of disk usage.

    We're doing our best to make this insanely affordable/attractive to move usage to. Free backups, snapshots, backups every ... 6 hours?

    There's really no reason not to use it if you're somewhat MySQL busy.

    Any way to automatically sync 2 mysql databases?
    One in EU and US?

    Apart from taking MySQL dump

    Not something we're offering. We'd need 3 locations involved in it otherwise you probably end up split braining.

    Yeah. Think you did answer this b4. Was curious if anyone had an idea to facilitate that.

    U offer 3 locations already, right?

    Sure but then we're having to deal with galdera and split brains/disconnects due to doing galdera over the WAN.

    Hello,

    I'm guessing you mean the public beta?

    Francisco

  • Can we consider this Production ready now? Also, where do we get extra space? I am on the 15GB plan in Amsterdam and don't see an option to upgrade the space.

    Yep.

    If you’re on the paid product you can go to the product in billing and you should see configurable options on the side where you can buy blocks of additional space.

    The following email is going out:

    Hello Francisco,
    
    We'd like to thank you for taking part in our open beta period for our Offload SQL product.
    
    On July 1st the beta ends and paid service will commence.
    
    We've already updated your service to the production product, and have included a 33% discount ($7.50/year, discounted to $5.00/year) as a thank you.
    
    You're not obligated to continue with the product if you don't want to!
    
    If you don't wish to continue with the product please request an immediate cancellation. Login and select the product in our billing portal, then 'Request Cancellation' in the menu on left.
    
    If you were given a free offload SQL service and are still getting sent an invoice, please log a support ticket and we'll adjust your billing. Blame Fran.
    
    Thank you again and see you in the next beta!

    Time to cancel! (-:

    // At least the USA one and let's hope I won't forgot to pay for the NL one in those 25 days.

  • I mean it would be cool if they had a free tier that limited the size of the database and at that point you can upgrade to scale up the size of your db.

    @Francisco - by paying, will beta testers get to keep their SQL plans as they are?

    Right, I converted your already active account to that. Nothing to recreate/import/etc.

    @LymbicSistem said: I mean it would be cool if they had a free tier that limited the size of the database and at that point you can upgrade to scale up the size of your db.

    We'd have to split the freeloaderstier from the paid users. And then we'd have to import them over when they might decide to upgrade.

    MySQL has no way to limit a database size either.

    @yasci You can ping nl-mariadb01.offloadsql.com, sg-mariadb01.offloadsql.com, ny-mysql01.offloadsql.com, and uk-mariadb01.offloadsql.com.

  • Really enjoying the service as a beta tester! I've got a few questions about scaling, features, and your long-term plans:

    1. If I add a service at a new location (e.g., a NY database when I already have a Vegas one), will the 20% beta discount still apply?
    2. Any ETA on PostgreSQL support?
    3. For very busy sites with lots of reads and writes (like a Mastodon or Matrix server), is there a risk of hitting TOS limits or being throttled?
    4. MariaDB is at 11.4 LTS. How often do you plan to update server software, and what's your strategy for smooth, low-downtime upgrades?
    5. I love the low price, but I'm curious about the sustainability. How do you ensure you're profitable to keep this running long-term?

    Thanks!

    1) I can sneak you in at the beta price if you commit to it before July 1st.
    2) none. I need to learn Postgres first before I commit to it. There’s a lot more knobs in regards to permissions and I don’t want to flub it.
    3) we would have to case by case it and base that on what the user paying. Someone paying $5/y ripping 1GB/s to it and all that is going to get a talking to. I would say it falls under the usual “don’t be a dick” policy. To date we haven’t punished a single user and some people have tried to push it pretty good.
    4) probably once a month within the same tree. If we get demand for other versions we are just as likely to spin up a separate instance. At that point I would do a drop down where you pick which server/version each database is on.
    5) the hardware is plentiful and affordable. Once we have IPv6 enabled and you connect over that, then our bandwidth costs drop to $0.

    @xpreboun to add to this.

    We need this product for our shared and reseller hosting anyway, so we went into it expecting to make $0/m in new cash, and that was perfectly fine if it meant users weren’t nuking the shared nodes.

    Us turning this into a standalone product wasent in the original plans if you check the start of the thread. It’s worked out well though and so far people seem to like it.
