Managed Directus, looked after for you

Directus puts an admin and an API on top of your own SQL database. Because your data sits behind it, the database, file storage and access rules need as much care as the app.

What we handle

Directus: what we look after

  • Directus running as a service behind HTTPS, with updates and a backup first
  • PostgreSQL or MySQL tuned and backed up, since Directus reads your real tables
  • File storage on disk or S3-compatible storage, backed up
  • Roles, tokens and public access settings reviewed
Problems we fix

When Directus goes wrong

  • A public role that exposes more data than intended
  • Migrations that fail after an update
  • Uploads lost after a redeploy
Who it suits

Who uses managed Directus

Teams that want an admin and API on top of an existing SQL database without writing their own back office.

What it needs

Node.js or Docker, a SQL database, about 1 to 2 GB of RAM, HTTPS and storage for files.

First look

What we check first

Before we change anything on a new Directus setup, we look at these, and we tell you what we found in plain words:

  • Which roles are public, and what data a visitor without a login can read through the API
  • The rights of the database user Directus connects with, so it has only what it needs
  • Where uploaded files are stored and whether that storage is backed up
How it works

From order to a watched Directus setup

Directus is part of every managed plan. Besides what is listed above, each plan includes outside checks every minute, off-server backups, security hardening and a team that answers your tickets. The price counts servers, not apps.

01

Tell us what you run

Order a managed plan and list your servers and the apps on them, or write to us first with questions.

02

We look before we touch

We check what is installed, what is out of date and what is not backed up, and tell you in plain words.

03

Backups and watching first

Backups and outside checks are set up before any change, so we can always go back.

04

Then the steady work

Updates, security, tuning and fixes follow, and you can ask us anything by ticket.

Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server. GST is added at checkout. See all managed plans.

FAQ

Directus support: your questions answered

Does Directus change my existing database?

It adds its own system tables next to your data. We back up first and tell you what it will add before it is connected.

Can you run it with an existing database?

Yes. We connect it to the database you already have, with a user that has only the rights it needs.

Is Directus covered by the managed plans?

Yes. The managed plans count servers, not applications, so Directus on your server is covered with no extra price per app. Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and GST is added at checkout.
