If this applies to the dbs too then it's quite unusual and worth shouting about, I'm not aware of other providers which offer that!

Looking at https://docs.kraft.cloud/guides/mariadb/ with the Docker stuff in there I'd half assumed maybe DB instances worked differently from unikernel instances or something

Also because of this other comment:

> Because KraftCloud leverages Unikraft, a unikernel library OS project, we are single-process. Postgres is multi-process since it uses the fork() syscall. If you require Postgres, we can set it up for you as a managed service

Hi, Felipe from Unikraft here. Yes, it applies to DB instances too (all instances are the same on KraftCloud with respect to this).

Regarding multi-process, at present Unikraft has partial multi-process support: some multi-process apps work, others not yet -- we're hard at work completing this support.
