Azure Resources - SQL Database

Nitric SQL Databases are deployed to Azure using Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

Azure Resources

The following resources are created when deploying SQL Databases to Azure:

• Virtual Network
• Subnet
• PostgreSQL Databases
• Container Instance Group for migrations

Deployment

During deployment the Nitric CLI deploys your SQL Databases:

• Virtual Network and Subnet are created
• Declared databases are deployed as PostgreSQL databases
• Container Group Instances are created to run migrations
• Container Apps are setup to run the containers

Other Engine Support

Currently, Nitric supports only PostgreSQL for Azure SQL databases. Support for other engines like MySQL is not available yet, but you can create a custom provider to add support for your preferred database engine.

If you'd like to see support for additional engines, please share your feedback with the Nitric team!
