We first made our PostgreSQL service available in 2019, and we’re pleased to announce that PostgreSQL is Generally Available (GA). We’ve provided updates along the way, and just like our other recent GA products (CockroachDB and Elasticsearch), we wanted to ensure its success. We’re excited to reach this milestone and to share it with you all.
How do you eat an elephant?
Companies use PostgreSQL is used in so many different environments that the number of capabilities we needed to include in a hosted service is daunting. We’ve been working at it for the past few months and here’s how the new service stacks up:
| Service | PostgreSQL |
|---|---|
| Versions Supported | 11 - 12.3 |
| Cloud Availability | AWS®, GCP®, and Azure® |
| High Availability | Optional with 1-2 replicas |
| Backups | 2-week retention with point-in-time recovery included |
| Extensions | Standard list available (activate with create extension) |
| Monitoring and Metrics | Grafana® dashboards included |
| Support | 24x7 support, with free migrations, tuning, query analysis, and more |
Available now for your production workloads
To create a PostgreSQL instance, log into Mission Control, configure an instance, and build. We provide a $200 USD introductory credit for new accounts, which covers various sizes and types of PostgreSQL, so you can try out the service risk-free.
We’re always open to feedback, so if there’s a region, feature, or size that you don’t see in the UI, contact Rackspace ObjectRocket sales. We’re constantly updating the product and what you need is right around the corner.
