Provisioning a Database
- In the Dashboard, navigate to the Databases section.
- Click Create New Database.
- Choose your database name and credentials.

Connecting to Your Database

- Port: 3306 (default MySQL port).
- Username & Password: The credentials you set during creation.
Integrating with PaaS
If you are using OrbitLab’s Application Hosting (PaaS), you can easily inject your database credentials as environment variables (e.g.,DATABASE_URL) to securely connect your app.
