# Databases

Flynn includes built-in database appliances that handle configuring and managing
highly available databases automatically. These appliances are designed to
provide the maximum amount of safety available from the database system while
providing as much availability as possible without compromising safety.

In some cases it is not possible to meet the strict guarantees of a 'CP' system
under [CAP theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem) due to
limitations in the database software we are wrapping. This is noted specifically
in the Safety section of the documentation for the database in question.<commit_msg>docs: Clarify database use cases<commit_after>---

# Databases

Flynn includes built-in database appliances that handle configuring and managing
highly available databases automatically. These appliances are designed to
provide the maximum amount of safety available from the database system while
providing as much availability as possible without compromising safety.

In some cases it is not possible to meet the strict guarantees of a 'CP' system
under [CAP theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem) due to
limitations in the database software we are wrapping. This is noted specifically
in the Safety section of the documentation for the database in question.

Flynn's databases are currently designed with staging, testing, development, and
small-scale production workloads in mind. They are not currently suitable for
storing large amounts of data. We are in the process of making them usable for
all use cases, including high volume, large dataset workloads.
