Question

How can I put my app (App Platform) in my VPC?

As of right now, I could not find a way to put my App Platform’s App in a VPC so that I can restrict access using Trusted Sources on my database. I can’t add any app related information in my Trusted Sources of my database. For the time being, my database is exposed and accepting all connections, which is a major security risk.

VPC functionality or the ability to list a database in trusted sources is on our roadmap, but not currently available. In the mean time we recommend using TLS to secure your connection and using strong passwords. Watch your email or our changelog for announcements on this topic.

You can add your APP to the trusted sources of your DO managed database.

Just find the Trusted Sources managing page, and start typing APP name
