How Better-PaaS works with MySQL to run MySQL-backed CMS and business applications in a self-hosted deployment workflow.

Overview

MySQL helps Better-PaaS run MySQL-backed CMS and business applications. The integration keeps the platform workflow practical without hiding the underlying infrastructure from you.

Role in the workflow

MySQL is used to run MySQL-backed CMS and business applications. It supports the broader Better-PaaS goal: deploy from source or image, run in containers, route traffic securely, and keep operations understandable.

Setup considerations

Configuration depends on the integration. Always verify credentials, network access, DNS, and app health before switching production traffic.

  • Confirm credentials and permissions
  • Check environment variables
  • Inspect logs after setup
  • Document any external dependency

Operational guidance

Treat integrations as part of your deployment system. Rotate secrets when needed, back up stateful services, and keep the server updated.

FAQ

Is MySQL required for Better-PaaS?

Some integrations are core platform dependencies, while others are optional workflow integrations. The setup guide for each feature explains when it matters.

Can I use MySQL with custom Docker images?
