Action

Create Database Cluster

Tool to create a new managed database cluster. use when you need to provision a database cluster with name, engine, version, region, size, and number of nodes.

Why this helps

Database setup often becomes a separate manual task after the application is already moving.

  • Shortens service launch time
  • Uses explicit database parameters
  • Leaves an auditable provisioning report

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 0CodeKit and DigitalOcean in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for managed database provisioning.
  • 3Describe the engine, version, region, size, node count, and service name.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and a report destination.
  • 5Test with one real service launch request.

Questions about this workflow

How are valid database choices handled?

Ask Notis to check the supplied values against DigitalOcean options before creating the cluster.

Does this create the application too?

No. This workflow provisions the managed database cluster only.
