Hope that this helps!

Hi @DhavalVira,
App Platform by itself does not come with a Database solution. Having said that, you can use DigitalOcean’s Managed database product which works really well hand in hand with the App Platform. You can check the following links:

It’s really good as you won’t have to manage anything, just import the data to your DB and you are good to go.
