Connection Methods

You can connect to a GeminiDB Influx instance over a private network, public network, load balancer IP address, or program code.

**Table 1** Connection methods
Method	Scenario	Description
Private network	Connect to an instance using a private IP address or load balancer address. This method applies to scenarios where applications are deployed on an ECS which is in the same region and VPC as the instance.	To improve connection reliability and eliminate the impact of a single point of failure, the load balancer address is recommended. High security and performance
Public network	You can connect to a GeminiDB Influx instance through an EIP. This method is suitable when DB instances cannot be accessed over a private network. You can bind an EIP to an ECS (or a server on the public network) to access the instance.	Low security For faster transmission and improved security, migrate your applications to an ECS that is in the same subnet as your instance and use a private IP address to access the instance.
Program code	Connect to a GeminiDB Influx instance using GO, Java, or Python.	-
