PostgresRun is managed PostgreSQL built by people who tune databases for a living. We give builders fast, local-NVMe Postgres — fully operated, fairly priced, with a real expert on the other end instead of a ticket queue.
PostgresRun was founded by people who spent years tuning Postgres in production — and watching team after team overpay the big clouds for databases that ran on slow, network-attached disk. The bill went up every quarter; the queries didn't get faster. That gap is the whole reason we're here.
We started PostgresRun to put that back the right way round: fast Postgres on local NVMe and dedicated cores, running on affordable cloud servers — Hetzner, OVH, or your own cloud — instead of the most expensive option by default. The result is roughly half the cost of AWS RDS, without giving up performance or control.
It's vanilla PostgreSQL 17, fully managed, fairly priced, and backed by an actual expert who will help you fix a slow query rather than just restart the box. No fork, no proprietary layer, no lock-in — your data and your dump leave with you any time you want them to.
Three principles that shape every database we run and every line on your invoice.
Vanilla PostgreSQL 17 — no fork, no wire-compatible reimplementation, no proprietary control plane. Connect with any client, use the extensions you already know, and pg_dump your way out whenever you like. You can leave any time, and that keeps us honest.
Off-site, encrypted backups that we actually test by restoring them — because a backup you can't restore isn't a backup. Point-in-time recovery is measured in seconds, not nervous hours, so a bad migration is an inconvenience, not an incident.
Dedicated local-NVMe Postgres at a fraction of big-cloud cost, on a single clear plan. No metered IOPS, no per-connection fees, no surprise line items at the end of the month — just a price you can predict before you commit.

We're a small, senior team — every person here has run Postgres in anger, and that's on purpose. We're also hiring: if databases done right is your idea of a good time, say hello via [careers].
