Managed PostgreSQL
Production-ready PostgreSQL database with automated management, backups, and high availability
Fully managed PostgreSQL database service with enterprise features, automated operations, and 24/7 support. Focus on building your application while we handle database administration, backups, scaling, and security.
Overview
Our managed PostgreSQL service provides:
- High Availability: Multi-AZ deployments with automatic failover
- Automated Backups: Point-in-time recovery up to 35 days
- Performance: Optimized configurations and SSD storage
- Security: Encryption, VPC isolation, and compliance
- Monitoring: Real-time metrics and alerting
Managed PostgreSQL eliminates the operational burden of database administration. Our team handles patching, backups, failover, and monitoring—giving you enterprise-grade reliability without hiring dedicated DBAs.
Key Features
Database Management
- Automated provisioning and setup
- Version upgrades with zero downtime
- Configuration optimization
- Extension management
- Connection pooling (PgBouncer)
High Availability
- Multi-AZ replication
- Automatic failover (< 30 seconds)
- Read replicas for scaling
- Load balancing

Automatic failover occurs within 30 seconds of detecting a primary node failure. Your application connection strings remain unchanged—no code modifications required.
Backup & Recovery
- Automated daily backups
- Point-in-time recovery (PITR)
- Cross-region backup replication
- Instant snapshot restoration
- Backup retention up to 35 days
Performance
- SSD-backed storage
- Configurable IOPS
- Query performance insights
- Slow query logging
- Auto-vacuum optimization
Security
- Encryption at rest (AES-256)
- Encryption in transit (TLS)
- VPC network isolation
- IAM authentication
- Audit logging
Our managed PostgreSQL meets SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance requirements. Contact us for detailed compliance documentation and audit reports.

Frequently Asked Questions
What PostgreSQL versions do you support? We support PostgreSQL 12 through 16. New major versions are typically available within 3 months of official release. We recommend PostgreSQL 15 or 16 for new deployments.
How does automatic failover work? We use synchronous replication to a standby node in a different availability zone. If the primary fails, the standby is promoted automatically within 30 seconds. Your connection string points to a load balancer that routes to the active primary.
Can I migrate my existing PostgreSQL database?
Yes, we provide migration assistance using pg_dump/pg_restore for smaller databases or logical replication for zero-downtime migrations of larger databases. Our team handles the entire process.
What extensions are available? We support 50+ extensions including PostGIS, TimescaleDB, pg_stat_statements, pgcrypto, and more. Custom extensions can be added upon request after security review.
How are backups handled? Automated backups run daily with point-in-time recovery (PITR) enabled. Backups are encrypted and stored in a separate region. Retention is configurable up to 35 days.
What's included in 24/7 support? Our database experts are available around the clock for performance tuning, troubleshooting, query optimization, and emergency response. Critical issues receive a 15-minute response time.
