Data & storage
Databases, queues and file storage.
| What | We use |
|---|---|
| Database | MySQL |
| Queues | Laravel's database queue driver |
| Cache | Laravel's database cache driver |
| File storage | Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage, depending on the client |
We don't run Redis by default. The database drivers are enough for most of our projects and mean one less service to host. Add Redis when a project's queue or cache load needs it.
Some inherited projects use PostgreSQL or SQL Server; see Other tech we support.
