FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Free tier answers
What does the free MySQL SKU include?
It includes 0.5 vCPU, 1.2 GB RAM, 10 GB SSD at no cost. SSD and backup storage beyond the allowance is billed at standard rates; choose a paid tier for more compute.
Does MySQL have point-in-time recovery?
The current Seemi-managed MySQL backup workflow restores completed backup points and does not provide the PostgreSQL-style managed PITR described for PostgreSQL.
Is this a high-availability MySQL cluster?
No. The current public MySQL SKU is a single instance. Enterprise replication requirements should be reviewed with Seemi engineering.
Which port does MySQL use?
MySQL commonly uses TCP port 3306. Always use the hostname and port displayed in the Seemi Cloud portal.
