Radius.Data/postgreSqlDatabases@2025-08-01-preview

Description

The Radius.Data/postgreSqlDatabases Resource Type deploys a PostgreSQL database. Provide the administrator username and password directly on the resource. The password property is marked x-radius-sensitive, so Radius encrypts it at rest, redacts it on reads, and exposes it (decrypted) only to the recipe that provisions the database.

resource postgresql 'Radius.Data/postgreSqlDatabases@2025-08-01-preview' = {
    name: 'postgresql'
    properties: {
      environment: environment
      application: myApplication.id
      size: 'S'
      database: 'appdb'
      username: 'myadmin'
      // From a @secure() password parameter passed in via the CLI
      password: password
    }
  }

When deploying the application definition, provide the database password value as a parameter. It is recommended to use a password generator such as openssl or equivalent. For example, rad deploy app.bicep -p password=$(openssl rand -hex 16).

To connect your container to the database, create a connection from the Container resource to the database as shown below.

resource myApplication 'Radius.Core/Applications@2025-08-01-preview' = { ... }

resource frontend 'Radius.Compute/containers@2025-08-01-preview' = {
  name: 'frontend'
  properties: {
    application: myApplication.id
    environment: environment
    container: {
      image: 'frontend:1.25'
      ports: {
        web: {
          containerPort: 8080
        }
      }
    }
    connections: {
      postgresql: {
        source: postgresql.id
      }
    }
  }
}

The connection automatically injects environment variables into the container for all properties from the database. The environment variables are named CONNECTION_<CONNECTION-NAME>_<PROPERTY-NAME>. In this example, the connection name is postgresql so the environment variables will be:

• CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE
• CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_HOST
• CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_PORT
• CONNECTION_POSTGRESQL_TLS
