Create and Launch ​

Create Datastore ​

From the Datastores page in your stack, click on Create Datastore and give your datastore a name.

Connect to Existing Datastore ​

You may notice that some of the datastores in the list are prefixed with Existing. These are modules that allow you to import the datastore into Nullstone without creating a new one.

This provides a way for Nullstone to read information about your datastore and connect it to your applications. It also provides a way to avoid doing a data migration.

The only downside is that Nullstone will not manage the infrastructure and can not make any configuration changes.

Selecting a Network ​

In some cases, datastores require a network to run in. If so, you may be prompted to select a network for your datastore.

• If your stack has more than one network, then you will be prompted to select a network for your datastore.
• If your stack only has one network, then the network will be selected automatically.
• If there are no networks, one will be created for you and automatically selected.

Launch Your Datastore ​

After creating your datastore, you are taken to the datastore overview page. From here, you can launch your datastore for each environment.

Configuration ​

When launching your datastore, you will be able to provide configuration specific for each environment. In the example below, we are launching a Postgres datastore.

We are launching in the staging environment, so I have turned high availability off. In production, we want to make sure this is turned on. high availability enables fail-over support for this instance. Each datastore will have its own configuration options so be sure to check the docs for each datastore module.

Connect to Your Application ​

Once your datastore has been created, you can connect it to your application. See the docs on Datastore Capabilities for more information.
