The easy way to provide enterprise-ready SQL to your developers
VMware Tanzu SQL provides a relational database-as-a-service for developers that is fully compatible with MySQL and Postgres (now in beta).
Provide self-service access to developers
Developers can spawn dedicated on-demand instances of SQL for new and replatformed applications without operator intervention. The service works the same in any cloud.
Automate database operations in developer workflows
Automated provisioning supports database testing and deployment in stateless, continuous integration and delivery pipelines such as Concourse for VMware Tanzu.
Support entire cloud native developer organizations
Take advantage of significant automation for operator and developer lifecycles. Install, manage, monitor, and update SQL in VMware Tanzu. Ensure deployments meet enterprise requirements.
Why VMware Tanzu SQL?
Proven at scale for mission-critical apps
The world’s largest organizations trust their most important database apps to MySQL and Postgres. Why? Because these systems deliver time and time again.
Highly available and scalable
Tanzu SQL eases the operational overhead of running databases at scale with built-in backups, monitoring, and several layers of high availability.
Alternative to proprietary database engines
Tanzu SQL is a leading alternative for organizations that want to get away from the cost and complexity often associated with third-party databases.
Embedded security features reduce risk
Tanzu SQL is configured with sane and secure defaults so that the service meets user expectations for a general-use relational database.
Runs on any cloud
Install and self-manage Tanzu SQL wherever you like. Enjoy a consistent developer experience and disaster recovery strategy across cloud and large Tanzu Application Service deployments.
