What is Readyset?

Readyset is a transparent database cache for Postgres and MySQL. Upstream says it gives the performance of an in-memory key-value store without rewriting your app or handling cache invalidation by hand, and a self-hosted Readyset sits between your application and your database, caching the queries you choose with CREATE CACHE while passing everything else through. It is under the Business Source License 1.1, so it is source-available rather than open source.

On xCloud the install runs Readyset stable-260924, pinned by digest, as a single container in its default shallow cache mode, which needs no replication. It is a data service with no domain or HTTPS: clients connect to the server IP and an allocated SQL port. The readyset_state volume holds RocksDB state and the stored SQL login, which is the username and password in your upstream database URL.

From Sign-Up to a Live SQL Cache In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a SQL cache normally means a container, authentication wired to your own database credentials, persistent state and a stable endpoint before a single query gets cached. This is the same result without assembling any of it by hand.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, choose Readyset from the OneClick catalog, and enter your Upstream database URL (MySQL or Postgres, including user and password).
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Readyset image, pinned by immutable digest for amd64 and arm64, mount the readyset_state volume for RocksDB state and stored logins, bind health and metrics to loopback only, and allocate a host and SQL port that speak your upstream's own wire protocol.
Step 03
Connect And Create Your First Cache
Save the host and SQL port shown in your protected installation credentials, connect with a Postgres or MySQL client using the username and password from your upstream URL, run CREATE CACHE FROM SELECT ... for a query you want cached, then check it with SHOW CACHES.

Everything Readyset Does, On Your Own Server

Readyset runs in full here — a transparent SQL cache in front of your own database, on infrastructure you control.

Wire-Compatible With MySQL And Postgres
Use your current ORM or database client, because Readyset is wire-compatible with MySQL and Postgres.
Cache Only What You Choose
Use CREATE CACHE FROM SELECT ... to cache specific queries; everything else passes straight through to your upstream database unchanged.
Shallow Mode Needs No Replication Setup
The default shallow cache mode needs no replication configuration, with cached results refreshing on a roughly 10-second TTL. Deep mode keeps caches in sync from the replication stream instead.
Authenticated SQL Access
Unauthenticated connections are refused. You sign in with the same user and password already in your upstream database URL — there is no separate admin account.
Metrics And Health Stay Private
Metrics and health endpoints bind to loopback only and are never published, so only the SQL port itself is reachable from clients.
Cache Definitions Persist Across Restarts
Cache definitions and stored logins live on a named volume; in verification, caches were recreated and logins kept working after an xCloud Restart.

Everything You Need To Run Your SQL Cache 24/7

What You Can Do With Readyset

Speed up read-heavy queries
Cache the slow SELECT statements you pick with CREATE CACHE FROM SELECT, and leave every other query to pass straight through to your database.
Keep your ORM and client
Connect through the same Postgres or MySQL driver you use today, since Readyset speaks the database's own wire protocol.
Try caching before a migration
Put the cache in front of an existing database in shallow mode, which needs no replication setup, and judge the effect before deciding on anything bigger.
Share one cache endpoint across services
Point several applications at the same host and SQL port, with every connection authenticated by a user your upstream database already knows.

Readyset vs Alternatives

Hand-built Redis caching: Application-level Redis caching means writing cache and invalidation code yourself. Readyset caches SQL reads at the protocol level, so your existing client keeps working.
Readyset Cloud: Readyset Cloud is upstream's own managed service. This page is different: xCloud runs the source-available Readyset container on a Cloud VPS, with the cache state on your own volume.
PgBouncer: PgBouncer has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes a connection pooler for PostgreSQL, which pools connections rather than caching query results.
Valkey: Valkey has its own OneClick page. Readyset caches the SQL queries you choose with CREATE CACHE and needs no application changes.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can you self-host Readyset with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Readyset Docker hosting without the setup. Upstream documents a Docker image; here xCloud runs the pinned readysettech/readyset image for amd64 and arm64, allocates an SQL port matching your upstream protocol, and mounts readyset_state.

How much RAM does Readyset need?

The template asks for 2048 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 8 GB of disk as a floor, and the cache's eviction mark is set to 2 GiB. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung here. Cached working set and upstream traffic drive real needs.

How do I sign in to Readyset?

Use the username and password from the upstream database URL you entered at install, with a Postgres or MySQL client at the host and SQL port in your credentials. There is no separate admin account, and unauthenticated connections, unknown users and wrong passwords are refused.

How is Readyset different from adding Redis caching?

Upstream says Readyset gives key-value-store performance without rewriting your app or handling invalidation by hand. It caches SQL reads at the protocol level, so your ORM or client connects as before, while Redis needs cache and invalidation code in the application.

Do I need to enable replication for Readyset?

Not for the default shallow mode, which needs no snapshot and no replication. Only CACHE_MODE set to deep needs Postgres wal_level logical or MySQL binary logging configured on your upstream database, and deep mode is outside what this page promises.

Are Readyset cached results always fresh?

In shallow mode, cached results refresh on a roughly 10-second TTL, so they can be a few seconds behind the upstream database. That trade-off is what lets shallow mode skip replication, so avoid caching queries that must always see the latest write.

Is the Readyset SQL port secure by default?

It requires a login, but it is reachable from other hosts by design, so restrict it with your firewall. The template adds no SQL-level TLS, so route untrusted paths through a private network or a tunnel. Health and metrics endpoints bind to loopback only.

What should I back up on a Readyset server?

Stop the service, then back up the readyset_state volume. It holds RocksDB state, the stored SQL logins and, in deep modes, replicated cache state. Your upstream database is the system of record and needs its own backups.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Readyset?

The install stays on its pinned stable-260924 digest until you adopt a newer template version. Read the upstream release notes first and back up readyset_state. Changing the password in the upstream URL later does not change the stored login until you run ALTER READYSET MODIFY USER.

Is Readyset open source?

No. Readyset is distributed under the Business Source License 1.1, which is source-available. Its Additional Use Grant caps production use at 2 GB of RAM in aggregate and does not allow offering Readyset itself as a managed service. Read the LICENSE before relying on it commercially.

Is there a Readyset cloud service?

Upstream runs Readyset Cloud, a managed service, and this page is not that. Readyset cloud hosting here means the container runs on a Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, near your database, with the SQL port and firewall under your control.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
