Managed Databases — launching in Lagos, ng-1a

Coming soon

Managed Databases in Nigeria

The ledger, the settlement log, the customer record — in Lagos, run for you.

For a large part of this economy the location of the database stopped being an architecture preference on 15 June 2026, when the Central Bank directed that payment transaction data generated in Nigeria be stored and managed in Nigeria, with full compliance from 1 January 2027. Managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis and MariaDB are coming to ng-1a in Lagos, with backups, patching, monitoring and failover handled — priced in Naira from NGN 14,580 a month at launch. Join the waitlist and we will tell you the week it opens.

Where the database sits

One page view, thirty conversations with the database

A checkout looks like one request. Behind it: the session lookup, the user record, the limit check, the cart, a query per line item because the ORM decided so, the balance read, the write, the audit row. Thirty round trips is an ordinary number, and each one pays the distance between application and database twice. A page served from Frankfurt to someone in Ikeja is one long journey; an application in Lagos querying a database in Frankfurt is thirty of them in series before a byte reaches the browser.

Lagos to the European hosting hubs typically runs around 110 to 125 ms before your application does any work at all. Multiply that by thirty and the arithmetic stops being an engineering nicety. Keep both halves in ng-1a and those thirty conversations happen inside one building, on a request that starts and finishes in the same city as the person who made it.

Nigeria makes it easy to know where those people are. The NCC counted 189.68 million active mobile subscriptions in May 2026 — MTN on 96.98 million and 51.19% of active lines, Airtel on 65.45 million and 34.55%, Globacom on 23.4 million — so two networks carry about 86% of the country and all of them are inside it. Domestic traffic between them is exchanged at IXPN, the neutral national exchange founded in 2006, now running 13 points of presence across 7 states with peak domestic traffic past 2 Tbps in March 2026.

There is also a reason not to put an ocean inside a domestic transaction. On 14 March 2024, WACS, ACE, MainOne and SAT-3 all failed near Côte d'Ivoire at once; thirteen countries were disrupted, Nigerian bank customers could not transact, and repair estimates ran to eight weeks. A query from a Nigerian user to a database in Lagos never needed that fibre.

Hyperscale cloud regions inside Nigeria

The map has a hole in it

No hyperscaler runs a full cloud region in Nigeria. Amazon's African region is Cape Town and Microsoft's is in South Africa. What Lagos has from them is edge — a local zone, content delivery and interconnect points of presence — with the compute in another country. Edge caches a response; it does not hold a ledger. Managed Databases at launch is a database in Nigeria rather than near it.

Callbacks arrive from inside Nigeria

Instant transfer notifications, switch callbacks, agent terminal traffic — these originate on Nigerian networks and land on your endpoint, which then writes to your database. Keeping the receiving end in Lagos keeps the whole path domestic, and a webhook receiver that cannot afford a cold start has one less ocean in it.

Payments

It will bill the way Nigeria pays

Nothing bills until the service opens. When it does, a managed database joins the same Nigerian account and the same Naira invoice as the compute you already run — and Nigeria is a transfer-first market, which is the most useful thing to know about buying anything here. NIBSS has run the NIP instant payment scheme since 2011, and in the first half of 2024 alone it carried 5.63 billion transactions worth ₦476.89 trillion between Nigerian accounts, in Naira, in seconds.

Bank transfer

The default for Nigerian business and the route almost every purchase with an approval behind it takes. A production database with a read replica, or a year taken up front at ten months for twelve, goes as one transfer with one reference your reconciliation picks up rather than a card charge somebody explains at month end.

Card

Visa and Mastercard, charged in Naira. Cards suit a single instance and a monthly renewal, and the finance teams that would rather keep one on file than raise a transfer instruction every thirty days. The amount on the card is the Naira amount on the invoice, and the charge is domestic.

The allowance you are not spending

A Naira card carries a bank-set ceiling on international spending, and foreign-card headroom is something a Nigerian business rations across a year. A monthly dollar bill from an overseas provider takes a bite out of it twelve times over. Settling here is a Naira transaction inside Nigeria, so the headroom is still there in November for whatever genuinely needs a foreign card.

In Naira, from a Naira price list

The NGN figures here are Nigeria's own price list, set per currency rather than converted from a dollar rate at the moment you click. A dollar bill re-prices itself every month for reasons that have nothing to do with your usage. NGN 58,320 is NGN 58,320 in January and in November, which is what makes a twelve-month forecast possible at all.

Payment methods for Nigeria are bank transfer and card, both in Naira. Displayed prices exclude VAT; 7.5% is calculated and shown separately at checkout. For transfer details ahead of a payment run, [email protected].

The platform

Everything a production database needs

High availability, backups, security, and observability come wired in — so day two looks like day one.

Five engines

PostgreSQL 14–16, MySQL 8.0/8.1, MongoDB 6/7, Redis 6.2/7, and MariaDB 10.11/11 — your choice.

Multi-AZ high availability

Synchronous standbys across zones with automatic failover in under 60 seconds and zero data loss.

Automated backups & PITR

Daily backups plus continuous archiving — restore to any second within the last 35 days.

Read replicas

Add up to five read replicas with sub-second lag to scale reads and offload analytics.

Encryption everywhere

AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, on by default for every instance.

VPC isolation

Private by default — databases live inside your VPC, reachable only from your own services.

Connection pooling

Built-in PgBouncer and ProxySQL keep thousands of client connections efficient and stable.

Performance insights

Slow-query analytics and live metrics surface the queries that need your attention.

Automated patching

Minor versions and security fixes applied during the maintenance window you choose.

Regions

Lagos is home. Nairobi and Dar es Salaam are one API call away.

Deploy in ng-1a and the machine sits in Lagos, in the same city as most of the traffic it will ever serve. Nigeria makes that easy to reason about: 189.68 million active mobile subscriptions in May 2026, with MTN and Airtel together carrying about 86% of active lines and Globacom and T2 — the operator formerly branded 9mobile — behind them. Whichever of the four your customer is on, they are in Nigeria, and typical in-metro round trips here run around 4 ms.

Nigerian networks now hand traffic to each other in Nigeria. IXPN, the neutral national exchange founded in 2006 by the NCC, runs 13 points of presence across 7 states and more than 130 connected networks, with 400G-capable core switching at three Lagos sites; peak domestic traffic across it passed 1 Tbps in April 2025 and 2 Tbps by March 2026. Before it existed, two Nigerian networks exchanged packets by way of London — an intercontinental journey for a packet crossing one city.

Eight subsea systems come ashore in the country, Equiano landing on the Lagos coast in 2022 and 2Africa at Lekki, which is how Lagos became West Africa's arrival point for international capacity. Aim a request at Frankfurt or Virginia instead and that subsea path joins the critical route of every call the page makes, at typically around 110 to 125 ms before your application does any work. From Lagos, Accra and Nairobi typically sit further away in round-trip terms than London, because traffic between African networks still frequently transits Europe.

ke-1a in Nairobi and tz-1a in Dar es Salaam run on the same account and the same API, which makes a standby or a disaster-recovery plan a configuration rather than a second supplier. Make that call deliberately where personal data is involved: a copy of Nigerian personal data held abroad is a cross-border transfer under section 41 of the NDPA. Machine images and telemetry raise no such question.

Support

West Africa Time, and a ticket that arrives with the facts

Two channels, doing different jobs. A ticket opened while signed in arrives carrying your account, your region and the instance, so the first reply is about the problem rather than about which machine you mean. [email protected] is the commercial address: a quotation against a purchase order, transfer details before a payment run, the billing account configured with your TIN and registered name before the first invoice, and the SLA terms and credit-claim process in writing while you are still choosing.

Before either, status.lineserve.net. Anything affecting a whole region is posted there faster than a reply could reach you, and checking it turns "my site is down" into "my instance is unreachable and the status page is clear" — a different ticket, and a much shorter one.

What to put in it, in the order it gets read: the region and the instance, the time the behaviour started in WAT, what changed just before it, the actual error text rather than a description of it, and whether it reproduces from more than one Nigerian network. An MTN handset and an office fibre line disagreeing is a different fault from both failing together.

Some of the fastest resolutions need nobody at all, and are worth knowing before the night you need them. Restore an on-demand snapshot. Roll back to a scheduled backup. Open the browser console when SSH is the thing that has broken. Resize or rebuild from the API. Migration planning and assistance are included at no extra charge.

Nigeria runs on West Africa Time, UTC+1, and does not observe daylight saving — two hours behind Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. A change window agreed in WAT means the same thing in January and in July. Note the offset when you schedule across regions.

Tax & invoicing

Four sizes in Naira, and an invoice built for the 2026 regime

The launch price list is four instance sizes. Small — 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM, 20 GB of SSD, up to 100 connections — opens at NGN 14,580 a month. Medium is 2 vCPU, 4 GB and 50 GB with 200 connections at NGN 29,160. Large is 4 vCPU, 8 GB and 100 GB of NVMe with 500 connections at NGN 58,320, and XLarge is 8 vCPU, 16 GB and 200 GB of NVMe with 1,000 connections at NGN 116,640. Vertical scaling to a larger size happens inside a brief maintenance window, and read replicas — up to five, with typically under a second of lag — take read load off the primary with no downtime at all.

Nigerian VAT on cloud computing and hosting is 7.5%, administered by the Nigeria Revenue Service — the authority most buyers still call FIRS. It is the lowest rate of the three markets Lineserve operates in: Kenya charges 16% and Tanzania 18% on the same class of service. Prices exclude VAT and the 7.5% is shown separately at checkout, so the number in your budget line and the number on the quote match.

The rate is the easy part. Nigeria's whole tax framework changed on 1 January 2026, when the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 and the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025 took effect. A TIN is now central to how a transaction is evidenced, and large taxpayers — turnover above ₦5 billion — sit inside the Revenue Service's mandatory e-invoicing regime, enforced from 1 July 2026 through an approved Access Point Provider. In that phase, a supplier invoice that will not reconcile into your fiscal flow is a procurement problem rather than an accounting detail — which is a good reason to settle the paperwork while a product is still on a waitlist rather than in production.

Five fields, sent once

Your TIN, your registered name exactly as the Revenue Service holds it, the billing address, a billing email that reaches finance rather than an engineer, and any purchase-order or cost-centre reference that has to appear on the document. Send them to [email protected] when you join the waitlist and the billing account is configured once instead of corrected later.

What the price includes at launch

Daily automated backups with a 35-day point-in-time recovery window, manual snapshots on demand, minor-version and security patching inside a maintenance window you choose, AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, slow-query analytics, and connection pooling through PgBouncer or ProxySQL. High-availability instances replicate across zones with automatic failover behind a 99.99% uptime SLA.

Prices exclude VAT and are indicative launch pricing rather than an amount payable today. Annual billing runs ten months for twelve on eligible plans — ask [email protected] for a quotation against a purchase order.

Data residency

For part of this economy, the database now carries a date

Kenya and Tanzania give a Nigerian's counterparts reasons to keep data in-country. Nigeria gives a whole sector a deadline. On 15 June 2026 the Central Bank of Nigeria issued circular PSS/DIR/PUB/CIR/001/004, introducing market structure requirements, data localisation, ultimate beneficial ownership disclosure and systemic oversight measures across the payments system. It directs that payment transaction data generated within Nigeria be stored and managed in Nigeria, with full compliance from 1 January 2027, across deposit money banks, microfinance banks, mobile money operators, fintechs, switching companies, payment service providers and super agents. The affected data is reported to reach merchant records, transaction identifiers, timestamps, settlement information and processing logs.

Read that list again as a schema rather than as a policy. Merchant records, transaction identifiers, timestamps, settlement information, processing logs — every item on it is a table. This is a directive about databases, and about one database in particular: the one your ledger lives in. If your organisation sits inside that perimeter, the location of that instance moved from an architecture preference to a budget line with a date attached, and the budget it lands in is the one being approved now.

Around it sits the general regime. The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 is the statute and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission the regulator, with the General Application and Implementation Directive — issued 20 March 2025, effective 19 September 2025 — operationalising it. Section 41 governs transfer of personal data out of Nigeria, permitting it where the recipient is covered by an adequate law, binding corporate rules, contractual clauses, a code of conduct or a certification mechanism.

Put the database in ng-1a and your data is held in Lagos, under Nigerian law, where your regulator can see it — and the section 41 analysis does not arise for the data that stays. That is data residency for Nigeria's Data Protection Act. What a hosting provider supplies is the location; the assessment, the evidence and the sign-off stay with your compliance function, where they belong. They are simply a shorter pile of work when nothing crossed a border.

Who feels this first

Anyone holding payment records, ledgers and settlement logs under a CBN licence. Then the layer around them: KYC and BVN verification, fraud scoring, partner-bank sandboxes, and the switching and reconciliation systems between a merchant and a bank. If your product touches Nigerian payment data, where the disk is has become a board question rather than an infrastructure detail — and a waitlist place is a cheap piece of insurance against a 2027 deadline.

Beyond the payments perimeter

Localisation in Nigeria is written by sector and by named purpose rather than across the board. The Designation and Protection of Critical National Information Infrastructure Order 2024 designates systems including the BVN, the NIN and NIBSS itself. Build against any of them and the residency question arrives through procurement long before a regulator raises it.

A replica in another country is a transfer

ke-1a in Nairobi and tz-1a in Dar es Salaam sit on the same account and API, which makes standby copies easy to place carelessly. A copy of Nigerian personal data elsewhere is a cross-border transfer under section 41, and payment data inside the CBN perimeter has an answer of its own. Application images, schema migrations and non-personal telemetry raise neither question.

Who runs here

The Nigerian databases that belong in Lagos

Nigeria's buyer profile is regulated-industry-led, at very large user scale, under a live localisation mandate. These are the workloads where the database is the regulated component rather than a supporting one.

Fintech and payments

The largest startup category in the country, and now the one with a circular behind its hosting decision. Ledger and reconciliation databases that must balance exactly, webhook receivers taking instant-transfer callbacks, KYC and BVN verification stores, fraud scoring, and audit archives that grow and never shrink. A Large instance with a read replica for reporting is the usual shape at launch, so the reconciliation run stops competing with the payment API.

Betting and iGaming

One of Nigeria's largest online sectors, and the most abrupt workload on this page: odds ingestion all day, then a bet-placement spike at kickoff that lasts ninety seconds and is felt directly by the punter. Add thousands of retail agent terminals reconciling against the same backend, and per-state reporting now that a November 2024 Supreme Court ruling moved regulation to the states. Read replicas and connection pooling decide whether that spike is absorbed or remembered.

E-commerce

Nigerian retail has the sharpest seasonal shape of any market on this site: a peak starting in late October, running through Black Friday and the festive weeks, holding into January. Catalogue and search, cart and checkout, gateway callbacks, dispatch integration. The database is in the critical path of every order, and scaling into the season and back out of it is the pattern the pricing is built for.

Edtech

A national exam window is not a traffic forecast, it is a date in the diary. Question banks, progress and results databases, video lesson metadata, and a hard peak everybody knows about a year ahead. The economics decide the purchase: a platform charging a few thousand Naira a month per learner cannot carry a dollar cloud price per user, which makes cost-per-user in Naira the criterion rather than the feature list.

Media and streaming

Nigeria produces an unusual amount of its own film and music. The heavy bytes belong in object storage; what belongs in a database is the catalogue, the entitlements, the watch history and the subscription state — small, hot, and queried on every play. Keeping that beside the origin in Lagos is what keeps a play button feeling instant.

Agencies, ISVs and ISPs

Lagos has a dense agency market reselling infrastructure to SME clients: one managed database per client rather than one shared MySQL nobody dares upgrade. ISPs are a different buyer entirely — RADIUS, provisioning and billing stores that are meaningless outside the country they serve, run by people who read a traceroute before they read a page like this one.

Anyone with a 2027 line item

The most common reason a Nigerian team will join this waitlist is not performance. It is that someone has worked out what moving the ledger into Nigeria involves, and would rather do it across three quarters than in December 2026 with a compliance date in the way.

Customer references are available under NDA — ask [email protected] and the team will arrange one against the sector and workload you are buying for.

Migrating

What moving to this will look like at launch

From a provider outside Nigeria

The mechanics are ordinary and they do not change because the destination is Lagos: seed the new instance, let replication catch up, cut over in your quietest hour, keep the old one read-only for a week. Standard tools do all of it — pg_dump, mysqldump, logical and binary-log replication. The commercial half is what pays for it. Thirty round trips per page view stop crossing an ocean. Your bill stops moving with the exchange rate and becomes one Naira figure you can forecast, and it stops rationing the card allowance you keep for things only a foreign card can buy. And your data moves inside Nigeria, which is the difference between a residency question you answer in a sentence and one that needs a section 41 analysis.

From a Postgres or MySQL you run yourself

Whether it sits on a VM in Lagos or a machine in your own office, the operational change is the point. Daily backups with a 35-day recovery window instead of a cron job nobody has restored from. Security patching inside a window you choose instead of a Saturday. Automatic failover across zones instead of a manual promotion at 02:00 — and, if the database is currently in your building, an end to the part where the grid decides whether it is up. Migration planning is included at no extra charge; ask for it before the service opens rather than after.

One question settles where a database really is, and it is worth asking of every provider you shortlist, this one included: which building is the machine in, and in which country is that building? For ng-1a the answer is Lagos.

FAQ

Questions, answered

We run the database engine for you — provisioning, backups, patching, monitoring, and failover. You create an instance, get a connection string, and focus on your application.

PostgreSQL 14–16, MySQL 8.0 and 8.1, MongoDB 6.0 and 7.0, Redis 6.2 and 7.0, and MariaDB 10.11 and 11.0 — all with the same managed features.

HA instances replicate across availability zones. If the primary fails, an automatic failover promotes the standby — typically in under 60 seconds, with zero data loss — behind a 99.99% uptime SLA.

Daily automated backups are retained for 35 days with point-in-time recovery to any second in that window. You can also take manual snapshots whenever you like.

Up to five read-only copies of your primary that serve read queries, synced automatically with typically under a second of lag. Use them to scale read-heavy workloads without touching the primary.

Yes. Scale vertically to a larger size within a brief maintenance window, or horizontally by adding read replicas with no downtime at all.

Yes. AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, with platform-managed keys or your own via KMS.

Instances live in a private network with no public access by default. Reach them through security groups and database users, or peer your VPC and connect over VPN from on-premises.

Standard tools work directly — pg_dump and mysqldump for one-shot moves, or logical and binary-log replication for near-zero-downtime migrations. Our team helps plan the move at no charge.

The service is in build and not open for orders. Rather than publish a date that moves, we tell the waitlist directly — email [email protected] with the engine and size you have in mind and you will hear when the first release is ready.

Not yet — there is no orderable instance today. What you can do now is size the workload with us, get launch pricing in writing against your account, and be in the first group given access. Cloud servers and VPS in ng-1a are live today if you need capacity in Lagos before then.

In ng-1a, our Lagos region — the same region already running cloud servers, VPS, dedicated hardware and object storage. The instance and its storage are created there and stay there unless you move them yourself.

The launch price list runs from NGN 14,580 a month for Small (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 100 connections) through NGN 29,160 for Medium and NGN 58,320 for Large to NGN 116,640 for XLarge (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe, 1,000 connections). Prices exclude VAT.

No. Those figures are indicative launch pricing and nothing bills until the service opens. If your budget cycle needs a number sooner, ask [email protected] for a written quotation against your account.

In Naira, by bank transfer or card. Transfer is how most Nigerian business settles anything sizeable and is the route most customers here use; a card suits a single instance or a monthly renewal. Either way it is a domestic Naira transaction, so it sits outside the international spending cap your bank applies to a Naira card.

No. Displayed prices exclude VAT. Nigerian VAT on cloud and hosting services is 7.5%, administered by the Nigeria Revenue Service, and it is calculated and shown separately at checkout.

Your TIN and your registered name as the Revenue Service holds it, plus whatever your Access Point Provider needs to see on a supplier invoice. Enforcement for taxpayers above ₦5 billion in turnover began on 1 July 2026 with a 31 July 2026 deadline, so it is worth settling while the product is still on a waitlist rather than during a migration.

PostgreSQL 14–16, MySQL 8.0 and 8.1, MongoDB 6.0 and 7.0, Redis 6.2 and 7.0, and MariaDB 10.11 and 11.0 — all with the same managed features rather than a tier per engine.

HA instances replicate across availability zones. If the primary fails, an automatic failover promotes the standby — typically in under 60 seconds, with zero data loss — behind a 99.99% uptime SLA.

Daily automated backups retained for 35 days with point-in-time recovery to any second inside that window, plus manual snapshots whenever you want one.

Yes. Data in ng-1a is held in Lagos and is not moved out of the country without your instruction. That gives you data residency for Nigeria's Data Protection Act.

Hosting in ng-1a means the data is in Nigeria, which is the part a hosting provider supplies. Whether your overall architecture satisfies circular PSS/DIR/PUB/CIR/001/004 by 1 January 2027 is an assessment about your systems and your processes, made with your own advisers.

If a 1 January 2027 date applies to you, start the planning now and do the move once the service opens. The sequencing — what moves first, what dual-runs, what your acceptable write pause is — takes longer to agree than the copy takes to run, and it costs nothing to work out in advance.

Yes, at no extra charge, and the planning is better done before launch than after. Standard tools work directly — pg_dump and mysqldump for a one-shot move, logical or binary-log replication where you cannot afford the downtime. Send the engine, the size and where it runs today to [email protected].

Email [email protected] or use the contact form, with the engine, the rough size and what the database holds. No card, no commitment — it puts you in the first group given access and gets launch pricing written against your account.
