Everything you need to run Postgres in production.

Fully-managed PostgreSQL, run by people who tune databases for a living. Backups, recovery, pooling, replicas, scaling and monitoring are all included and switched on by default — nothing to assemble, nothing to babysit.

[01] reliability & data safety

Your data, kept safe.

Backups you can actually restore, recovery measured in seconds, and encryption everywhere — without you configuring a thing.

Automatic backups

Off-site, encrypted, daily backups run on every plan — and we test restores so they actually work when you need them.

  • Continuous WAL archiving to object storage
  • Retention from 7 days up to 35 days by plan
  • Zero configuration — on from minute one

Point-in-time recovery

Roll back to any second within your retention window — not just last night's dump. Recover from a bad migration or an accidental DELETE in minutes.

  • Second-level granularity
  • Restore into a fresh database to inspect first
  • Self-serve from the dashboard or CLI

High availability

Add a synchronous standby and we handle replication and automatic failover, so a single hardware fault doesn't become your outage.

  • Automatic failover to a hot standby
  • Synchronous or async replication
  • Available on Scale and up

Encryption by default

Every database is encrypted at rest, and all connections use TLS in transit. Keys are managed for you — there's nothing to switch on.

  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • Enforced TLS/SSL connections
  • Backups encrypted too
[02] performance & scale

Fast by default. Scales when you do.

Local NVMe, dedicated cores, pooling and replicas — the things that keep queries quick under real load.

Local NVMe storage

Your data lives on local NVMe, not slow network-attached disk. High IOPS and low latency are the baseline, not an add-on.

Dedicated CPU & RAM

On Pro and up, cores and memory are reserved for your database alone — no noisy neighbours stealing cycles at the worst moment.

Connection pooling

PgBouncer is built in, so serverless and high-concurrency apps don't exhaust your connections. No separate service to run or patch.

Read replicas

Spread read traffic across replicas and serve data closer to your users. Spin one up from the dashboard when you need to scale reads.

One-click scaling

Resize CPU, memory and disk as you grow, and run major-version upgrades online — handled without the downtime drama.

Monitoring & alerts

Live metrics plus slow-query insights surface problems before your users feel them — and we'll tell you what to do about them.

[03] developer experience

It's just Postgres — all of it.

Standard PostgreSQL 17 with the tooling builders actually want: instant forks, 40+ extensions, a real CLI and a clean API.

Instant database forking

Clone a production-sized database in seconds for staging, tests or a risky migration rehearsal — then throw it away.

40+ extensions, one click

pgvector, PostGIS, pg_stat_statements, pg_trgm and more — enable what you need from the dashboard, no support ticket required.

CLI & API

Create, fork, scale and back up databases from a single command or a clean REST API. Everything scriptable, nothing click-only.

Standard Postgres 17

No fork, no proprietary layer. Connect with any Postgres client, and take your data and dump with you any time. Zero lock-in.

[04] operations & support

We keep it alive.

Run in the region you need, move in for free, and talk to a human who actually knows Postgres.

US & EU regions

Keep data where your users and your regulators need it. Pick a region at create time and stay close to your app.

Free migration

Moving off Heroku, RDS, Aurora or Supabase? We plan and run the migration with you, with minimal downtime — at no cost.

Expert support

Message a real Postgres expert, not a ticket queue. Slow query? Index question? We'll help you fix it, not just restart the box.

Sensible defaults

Each instance is tuned for its size, with the right shared_buffers, work_mem and autovacuum settings — so you start fast and stay fast.

[05] questions

Feature FAQ.

Is this really standard PostgreSQL?
Yes — it's vanilla PostgreSQL 17, not a fork or a wire-compatible reimplementation. Connect with psql or any driver, use any extension we support, and pg_dump your data out whenever you like.
Which extensions can I enable?
Over 40, including pgvector, PostGIS, pgcrypto, pg_stat_statements, uuid-ossp, hstore, pg_trgm, citext and postgres_fdw. You enable them in one click from the dashboard. See the docs for the full list.
How do backups and point-in-time recovery work?
We continuously archive write-ahead logs to off-site object storage and take regular base backups. That lets you restore to any second within your retention window — typically into a fresh database so you can verify before cutting over.
Can you migrate my existing database for me?
Yes. Free migration is included — we'll help you move from Heroku, RDS, Aurora, Supabase or self-hosted Postgres with minimal downtime. Tell us what you're running and we'll plan it.
What happens if I outgrow my plan?
Resize CPU, memory and disk with a click, add read replicas, or move to a high-availability configuration. Need 32–64 GB, BYOC or a dedicated server? Talk to us.
