 Use a PostgreSQL database. If you're using IronFunctions in production, you should probably start here.

+# IronFunctions using Postgres
+
+Let's presuppose you don't have even a MySQL DB ready.
+
+### 1. Let's start a MySQL instance:
+
+```
+docker run --name iron-mysql \
+        -e MYSQL_DATABASE=funcs -e MYSQL_USER=iron -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=ironfunctions -d mysql
+``` 
+
+For more configuration options, see [docker mysql docs](https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/).
+
+### 2. Now let's start IronFunctions connecting to our new mysql instance
+
+```
+docker run --rm --privileged --link "iron-mysql:mysql" \
+    -e "DB_URL=mysql://iron:ironfunctions@tcp(mysql:3306)/funcs" \
+    -it -p 8080:8080 iron/functions
+```
