A managed cloud database is a cloud product where users, unlike traditional databases, do not need to go through the steps of installation, setup, maintenance, and management of the database and its infrastructure because all these tasks are handled by the service provider.

While it is always possible to install and deploy a database on virtual machines (IaaS or PaaS services, etc.), you should note that in this case, you have to manually perform all tasks related to installation, setup, updates, and management of the database. However, with Arvancloud DBaaS service, you can delegate all these tasks to the service provider and have your business database available without worrying about managing various parts of it. For example, in Arvancloud Managed Database, you can enable or disable features like High Availability with just one click.

All Arvancloud database clusters have the Automatic Failover feature, which replaces a failed primary node with another node in case of an error. In this case, due to the absence of redundancy, the only way to restore data and service is through the last backup, which is done automatically at five-minute intervals. Therefore, in the worst-case scenario, there is a possibility of losing the last five minutes of data. Additionally, the downtime duration can increase proportionally with the database size. Single-node databases are suitable for test applications or products that are not sensitive to high downtime (more than 5 minutes). On the other hand, implementing a database cluster with the High Availability feature, which uses Standby Nodes for redundancy, reduces the chance of data loss to almost zero with a downtime of less than 30 seconds. It is suitable for sensitive services with high stability.

Ensuring the security of cloud databases is divided into two main parts:
- The first part is the responsibility of Arvancloud, which ensures compliance with all security standards in the infrastructure of the product.
- The second part is the responsibility of the user, which involves considerations such as protecting usernames and passwords, using SSL certificates, defining trusted addresses via firewalls, and connecting to the cloud database via a private network.

No. You need to use a Load Balancer for Read traffic distribution or consider this in your application.

Directly, no. Arvancloud Managed Database pricing model is based on the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) method, where you pay for the hourly consumption of processing resources, memory, disk, backups, and the amount of traffic consumed by the database. However, you should note that the number of queries affects the amount of traffic and can increase your invoice amount.

All automatic and individual backups of each cloud database are retained for 7 days and then permanently deleted.
