You can have one database server with multiple databases. The point is, you cant store your data on a lambda server

Confusion with Laravel Vapor Databases
From what I can tell, I need a whole new database for each app I want to deploy. Am I understanding this right? Most of my apps are super small personal projects at the moment, and I can't really justify spending $15/mo on each one just to have a datastore. Or is each database actually a database server and I can run multiple stores on each one?

You shouldn't need Vapor for small personal databases.

@jlrdw why?
Level 1
You need a good tool, like an autosyncDB, which synchronizes and compares your databases.
Level 8
The $15 database is actually a database server and can host as many as needed. Log in remotely with your favourite tool and set up databases on it, then just set DB_DATABASE appropriately in .env.* - the rest can be left to vapor.yaml.
