Managed Databases and Storage

What managed data storage services each cloud/hosting platform offers.

AWS

An enormous catalog: RDS (relational), DynamoDB (NoSQL), S3 (object storage), ElastiCache (Redis/Memcached), and many more — generally the deepest and most mature managed data portfolio of any provider.

GCP

Cloud SQL (relational), Firestore/Bigtable (NoSQL), Cloud Storage (object storage), and BigQuery, its widely used managed data warehouse for large-scale analytics.

Azure

Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB (multi-model NoSQL), Blob Storage (object storage), and a broad set of enterprise-oriented managed data services.

Vercel

No general-purpose managed database of its own historically, though it offers Vercel Storage products (KV, Blob, Postgres) built as thin managed layers over underlying infrastructure partners.

Cloudflare

Offers its own storage primitives purpose-built for Workers: KV (key-value), R2 (S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees), D1 (SQLite-based relational), and Durable Objects for stateful coordination.

Netlify

No general-purpose managed database of its own; typically paired with an external database or BaaS provider rather than one bundled into the platform.

DigitalOcean

Managed Databases covering PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis/Valkey, and MongoDB, plus Spaces for S3-compatible object storage — a smaller but still solid managed data catalog.

Render

Managed PostgreSQL and Redis instances offered directly alongside your web services, with no broader storage catalog beyond that.

Fly.io

Offers Fly Postgres (self-managed Postgres running on Fly Machines) and object storage through Tigris, a partner integration, rather than an extensive first-party data portfolio.

Heroku

Heroku Postgres and Heroku Redis are the platform’s long-standing managed data add-ons, historically a major reason developers chose Heroku in the first place.
