Your database
is a detail.
Schema design, query optimisation, connection strings — those are your business. Patches, backups, failover, storage — those are ours.
id uuid PRIMARY KEY
email text UNIQUE
created_at timestamptz
id uuid PRIMARY KEY
user_id uuid → users.id
total numeric(10,2)
id uuid PRIMARY KEY
name text
price numeric(10,2)
Just write SQL. We handle the rest.
What "managed" actually means
A managed database removes the operations layer entirely.
- Provision & size the server
- Configure replication & failover
- Monitor disk space
- Apply OS & Postgres patches
- Set up backup cron jobs
- Manage connection pool limits
- Handle major version upgrades
- Write your schema
- Run your migrations
- Optimise your queries
- Use your connection string

Backups & Recovery
Every minute, invisibly
Continuous WAL archiving means you can restore to any point in time — not just the last nightly backup, but any specific second within your retention window. Disaster recovery that actually works.
Continuous backup
WAL streaming, every write captured
Point-in-time recovery
Restore to any second, not just daily snapshots
Cross-region copies
Backups replicated to a second region
One-click restore
Test restores in staging before touching prod
connections → pool → postgres
PgBouncer
Connection Pooling
1,000 app connections. One database connection pool.
PgBouncer-compatible connection pooling is built in and enabled by default. Your app can open thousands of concurrent connections without exhausting Postgres connection slots. No extra configuration needed.
Supported engines
PostgreSQL
14, 15, 16
MySQL
8.x
Redis
7.x (cache)
Prisma, Drizzle, TypeORM, SQLAlchemy, and all major ORMs work out of the box.
