# Managed databases with `aral`

    aral db engines    # postgres 16..13, mysql 8, redis 8/7, mongodb 8, qdrant, nats, influxdb, neo4j
    aral db create --name mydb --engine postgres --version 16 --plan dev --region hel1
    aral db get <id>   # poll: provisioning -> configuring -> ready (takes minutes)
    aral db list

The `get`/create response carries the connection details (host, port, user,
password) — the password is shown while the DB exists; store it.

    aral db backup <id>            # start a backup now
    aral db backups <id>
    aral db restore <id> --at <RFC3339>          # point-in-time
    aral db add-replica <id>       # streaming read replica
    aral db promote <replica-id>   # replica -> standalone primary
    aral db resize <id> --plan small
    aral db delete <id>            # also removes a replica

Plans: dev|small|medium|large. Each database is its own VM; `delete` tears the
VM down too.
