Is a service type component suitable for running a database, or does it lack permanent storage? I need to run ArangoDB.
If yes, how do I make a connection from the component running my app? I’ve tried listing a port under internal_ports for the database component, but I’m not able to connect.

Hosting a DB in an App Platform service is not recommended because components run in ephemeral containers. For example, if the underlying hardware breaks we will automatically move your service to another, though it’s a new container and does not persist any data.
In this case you may want to look into using a Droplet to host your database and have your App hosting in App Platform.
Hope this helps!
