CodeScene uses a database to store all the configuration data (projects, developers, etc.).
For the database, there are two basic options available:
- embedded H2 - stored in a file, the default option.
- external DB (MySQL or MariaDB
If you decide to use an external DB, the documentation will guide you through the process.
You can decide how you host the database but we recommend using a managed SQL database service for this purpose. Then you don't have to worry too much about backups, patches, etc.
For instance, AWS offers the AWS RDS service for CodeScene's external database, Azure offers Azure SQL Managed Instance and other providers have their own offerings.
