# External Database
For production deployments, we recommend using a dedicated database instance for better reliability, and backups (such as AWS RDS or GCP Cloud SQL) instead of the default internal Postgres database (`airbyte/db`) that Airbyte spins up within the Kubernetes cluster.
The following instructions assume that you've already configured a Postgres instance:
## Secrets
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: airbyte-config-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
# Database Secrets
database-user: ## e.g. airbyte
database-password: ## e.g. password
```
## Values
Add external database details to your `values.yaml` file. This disables the default internal Postgres database (`airbyte/db`), and configures your external Postgres database. You can override all of the values below by setting them in the airbyte-config-secrets or set them directly in the `values.yaml` file. **The database password is a special case in that it must be set in the [airbyte-config-secrets](#secrets).**
```yaml
postgresql:
enabled: false
global:
database:
type: external
# -- Secret name where database credentials are stored
secretName: "" # e.g. "airbyte-config-secrets"
# -- The database host
host: ""
# -- The database port
port: ""
# -- The database name
database: ""
# -- The database user
userSecretKey: "" # e.g. "database-user"
# -- The key within `secretName` where password is stored
passwordSecretKey: "" # e.g."database-password"
```
