All On-Demand database tiers are backed by Nine's years of experience operating Managed Services and built on the same infrastructure and building blocks. The Economy and Business tiers make this expertise available as a self-service offering, tailored to different needs and budgets, from lightweight single databases to fully dedicated instances. Billing is automated based on the resources used.
Tiers
Economy
Databases in the Economy tier run in a restricted and logically separated tenant in a shared environment that is managed by Nine. This makes them a perfect fit for non-production and low-traffic sites. Due to their fast startup time, they can even be used as part of automated testing pipelines of your applications.
By creating a database in the Economy tier, you will only get a single database, whereas on the Business tier, you will get a dedicated database instance where you can create multiple databases.
Business
The Business tier is great to deploy your production workloads or if you want a full database instance with dedicated resources and the flexibility of user and database management.
First (Managed Service)
If you require more extensive configuration, or you need a cluster for high-availability or performance requirements, our "First" tier is the right choice. First tier databases are part of our Managed Services offering, where Nine's engineers set up and operate a fully customized database environment tailored to your needs. Please reach out to so we can discuss your use case.
First tier databases on Managed Servers can use the nine-manage-databases tool to manage users and databases.
