Managed PostgreSQL, with a standby on another host.

Choose a version and a plan, and we run the server, the backups, the minor upgrades and the failover. A standby takes over within 30 seconds of the primary’s failure.

From €14.90 a month

Features

The work around the database, done for you.

  • PostgreSQL 16, 17 and 18

    Minor releases install in your maintenance window. Major upgrades run with pg_upgrade when you choose, and you can try one on a copy first.

  • Automatic failover

    A standby on another host follows the primary by streaming replication. After 15 seconds of failed health checks, it takes over the primary’s address.

  • Point-in-time recovery

    Daily backups and continuous WAL archiving restore to any second of the last seven days, into a separate database.

  • The extensions you expect

    PostGIS, pgvector, pg_stat_statements, pg_trgm, pgcrypto and dozens more, each turned on with CREATE EXTENSION.

  • Connection pooling

    PgBouncer runs beside each node in transaction mode, for apps that open many short connections.

  • Private and encrypted

    Databases listen on your private network only, with TLS required. Storage and backups are encrypted at rest.

Pricing

One price per node, backups included.

Each plan is one node with its storage and daily backups. A standby node for failover costs the same again.

Read replicas cost the price of their plan, as a standby does.

Code

A database in one command.

lc db creates the database on your private network. It prints the address when the database is ready, about 3 minutes later.

  • A standby on another host, with --standby.
  • An address on your private network, and none in public.
  • Credentials you rotate with one command.

Questions

Questions about managed PostgreSQL.

FAQ
How does failover work?
The primary and the standby run on separate hosts, and the standby replays the primary’s WAL as it is written. When the primary misses its health checks for 15 seconds, the standby is promoted and takes the address. Apps reconnect to the same host name, most within 30 seconds.
Do I get superuser access?
You get a role with CREATEDB and CREATEROLE that can install the supported extensions. Superuser stays with us, so that backups and failover keep working.
Can I move a database in or out?
Yes. Import with pg_dump, or by logical replication from the server you run today. Take a dump or replicate out the same way whenever you like.

Start with one server and one command.

Choose a region and a plan, and add an SSH key. The server answers SSH 38 seconds after the command, at the price on its spec sheet.
