A database provisioned and connected through the platform workflow.
Definition
A database provisioned and connected through the platform workflow.
Real-world example
Click "Add Postgres" in the dashboard; Better-PaaS runs a Postgres container on the private Docker network and injects DATABASE_URL into your app.
Common mistake
Exposing the database port publicly on 5432 instead of keeping it on the internal network.
Better-PaaS in practice
Postgres, Redis, and MySQL run as sibling containers. Connection strings are injected as environment variables.
FAQ
Is managed database only relevant to Better-PaaS?
No. managed database appears across Docker, cloud platforms, and self-hosted tooling. Better-PaaS exposes the concept in deploy logs, dashboard fields, or docs when it affects your app.
