Managed Postgres
Production Postgres, backed up nightly, priced from $5.
Provision a managed Postgres instance in the same panel as your application, get the connection string as an environment variable, and stop being responsible for backups, patching and volume management.

What a managed instance gives you
credentialsinjected at deploy
No secret shuffling
The connection string is written into your service environment as an encrypted variable — never pasted into a repository or an email.
disk10 GB included
Included storage
Each tier ships with disk included and overage at $0.10/GB, so growth is a known cost rather than a surprise line item.
networkprivate by default
Not on the open internet
Databases are reachable from your own services; external access is opt-in and scoped rather than exposed by default.
exportpg_dump ready
No lock-in
It is ordinary PostgreSQL. Take a full dump whenever you like and run it anywhere — there is no proprietary layer to unpick.
opspatched for you
Maintenance handled
Minor-version patching, disk monitoring and restart handling are ours. You get told about maintenance windows, not asked to run them.
Database pricing
Databases are priced separately from compute so you only pay for what your application actually needs. Storage overage is $0.10/GB and there is no charge for connections, queries or backup storage inside retention.
