Foundation

Database & Settings

The data foundation every other module is built on — fast, on your own server, and backed up with your site.

← All guides

Every part of your dashboard needs somewhere reliable to keep its data. This is that foundation.

What it does

A fast, file-based database that lives on your own server, plus the shared settings store every other module reads from. There's no separate database service to pay for or babysit.

What you get

  • Runs on your own infrastructure — your data never sits in a third party's cloud
  • Survives every deploy and is backed up alongside your site
  • One shared settings store, so configuration lives in a single place

Where it fits

This goes in first. Every back-office module assumes it's there.

Get it running

You don't set this up yourself. It's one of the modules our team builds into your site and back office. On ModPass, switching a module on is part of your flat monthly access: no new project, no separate quote. Talk to us and we'll scope it with you.
