Keeping an industrial-grade database running requires a lot more than just "apt-get install postgres". You need infrastructure for continuous backups, testing, 24/7 monitoring, maintenance and security patches. Someone has to stay on top of all of that, every day, or things slip through the cracks, data is lost, and your business suffers. We know all the gotchas, because we've been doing this since 1997. Benefit from our decades of experience, so you can focus your time on what you do best — running your business. A database should be invisible. It's there when you need it, ready to organize and supply your data anywhere in the world. With our Postgres as a service, we take care of the operational tasks surrounding the database so you can focus your energy on your core business. Your database is monitored 24/7 by operational staff who stand ready to address any issues. And it stays safe with continuous offsite backups that can be restored to any point in time.

Django-MySQL extends Django’s built-in MySQL and MariaDB support their specific features not available on other databases. A new cache backend that makes use of MySQL’s upsert statement and does compression. Named locks for easy locking of e.g. external resources. Extra checks added to Django’s check framework to ensure your Django and MySQL configurations are optimal. Django-MySQL comes with a number of extensions to QuerySet that can be installed in a number of ways - e.g. adding the QuerySetMixin to your existing QuerySet subclass.
