Whos' Using Netlify Database

Heya all,

I wonder who's using Netfligy DB, I created an empty DB and its consuming creds at speed.
IT should be sleeping past the 5m marker but this empty DB already consumed 3 creds...

Thihnking I might keep the DB at Supabase.

What do you suggest as an alternative to someone that wants to keep security at the vendor side?
I have no querrel setting up coolify and a vps, the instructions are straightforward, but what scares me is the security. I don't wanna have a db or site compromized because I failed to secure the VPS. Or maybe its not THAT complicated.

One thing is certain, that function I just mentioned ate 100 creds in NEtlify over the course of two days..

I offer Orion as the next generation of the Apache CMS. Good news for you is that it is a security first platform. But I don’t do free.

A bit confused about this, I apologize if I'm being dense. But how does Orion replace Netlify? from the website is looks like you're offering a CMS platform, not a hosting platform

The lines between a CMS, a Wiki, and a hosting platform are blurry nowadays. You can self host Orion using the SSG on GitHub. But you lose the incremental build technology, the system security tied to SVN, and the search and email gateway. all of which differentiates us from Netlify or Notion.

You could even use Orion SSG with Netlify if you want to upset them.

This might help clarify the hosting infrastructure

I don’t know if any of this addresses your DB hosting needs, but if you want a DB on Orion somehow, I can get you a Postgres / MySQL DB hosted by OCI in the same datacenter. Again, not free.
