## Quick Start [#quick-start]

All services follow the same pattern:

1. Open your project
2. Click **Add Service**
3. Choose **Database** or **S3 Storage**
4. Configure and deploy
5. Link the exposed environment variables to your application

Each service page has detailed setup steps, exposed variables, and code examples.

## Common Characteristics [#common-characteristics]

All database and storage services in Rock8Cloud share these properties:

* **Automatic provisioning** - credentials and networking configured for you
* **Network-isolated** - only accessible from services within the same project
* **Persistent** - data survives restarts and redeployments
* **Fully managed** - everything configured through the UI, nothing to set up yourself
