High availability without the complexity
Orbit ensures your database remains accessible during failures through automatic failover and built-in redundancy. No manual failover procedures, no complex replication setup.
Automatic failover
When primary instances fail, secondary replicas are automatically promoted. Your applications stay online without manual intervention.
Multi-zone redundancy
Database replicas distributed across availability zones. Protection against zone failures without complex multi-zone setup.
Zero-data-loss mode
Synchronous replication ensures zero data loss during failover. Your critical data is always protected.
Health monitoring
Continuous health checks detect issues before they impact your application. Proactive problem resolution.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need database administration experience to use Orbit?
No! Orbit is designed to eliminate the need for database administration expertise. All routine maintenance, security patches, replication setup, and backup management are handled automatically. You can focus on building your application while Orbit handles the operational complexity.
How does high availability work?
Orbit maintains multiple database replicas across different availability zones. If the primary instance fails, a secondary replica is automatically promoted within 30 seconds. Your application's database connections are maintained, and there's zero data loss with synchronous replication enabled.
What happens to my data during scaling operations?
Orbit performs zero-downtime scaling. When you resize your database, the changes are applied seamlessly without interrupting connections or causing service disruptions. Your application continues operating normally throughout the scaling process.
How do backups work?
Orbit continuously captures incremental backups throughout the day, combined with scheduled full backups. This provides point-in-time recovery capability, allowing you to restore your database to any specific moment within your retention period. Backups are automated and require no manual intervention.
Can I connect using standard PostgreSQL tools?
Yes! Orbit provides standard PostgreSQL connection strings. Any PostgreSQL-compatible tool, client library, or ORM works seamlessly. Use psql, pgAdmin, DBeaver, or your favorite database tool without any special configuration.
How are read replicas different from high availability replicas?
High availability replicas are for failover protection and maintain synchronous replication with the primary. Read replicas are for scaling read workloads and use asynchronous replication. You can have both HA replicas and read replicas in the same cluster.
What security measures are in place?
Orbit encrypts all data at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS. Databases are deployed in isolated networks with configurable access controls. Security patches are automatically applied during maintenance windows. You maintain full control over database credentials and access policies.
Can I restore a backup to test it?
Absolutely! You can restore any backup to a new database instance with one click. This is perfect for testing your backup strategy, creating development environments, or investigating issues without affecting your production database.
When are MySQL and MongoDB coming?
MySQL and MongoDB support are planned for Q1 2026. We're starting with PostgreSQL to deliver the best possible managed database experience, then expanding to support more database engines based on user demand.
