Managed PostgreSQL
Get RDS-like managed database operations on infrastructure you control. We manage backups, replication, tuning, and restores.
The Customer Challenge
Databases are the most critical part of an application, yet they are often poorly configured, lack streaming replication, have untested restore paths, and lack query performance optimization.
Service Overview
We configure, monitor, tune, and secure your self-hosted PostgreSQL database. We implement streaming replication for standby nodes, WAL archiving to encrypted object storage, pgBackRest for backups, and point-in-time recovery.
What is Included
- Custom postgresql.conf performance tuning tailored to your hardware
- Streaming replication configuration for primary-standby setup
- pgBackRest installation for encrypted, automated backups
- Write-Ahead Log (WAL) archiving to off-site object storage
- Connection pooling configuration (pgBouncer)
- Query performance analysis and index recommendation reports
- Major version upgrade planning and execution assistance
What is NOT Automatically Included
- Writing application SQL queries or database migrations
- Hosting costs for primary/standby servers and object storage
- Automatic application-level database failover (requires manual execution or custom setup)
* Note: Items listed above can be configured or supported under custom service level proposals.
