At <a href=engineyard.com”>Engine Yard</a>, we believe that you should have the flexibility to set up your environments and manage your data stores as you see fit.

If you need to utilize data offerings outside of our natively supported MySQL or PostgreSQL, then this feature will enable you to do so.
