At a glance
PostgreSQL here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- PostgreSQL is the engineers' database: strict, standards-faithful, with JSONB, window functions, and the extension ecosystem that makes it the default choice for new backends and half the AI tooling.
- What we install
- The playbook deploys the current PostgreSQL major from the official PGDG repository, tuned to the plan (shared_buffers, work_mem, WAL sizing), local-only by default with TLS remote access as a deliberate grant, and scheduled dumps beside the block-level backups.
- What managed covers
- Minor updates as part of management and major upgrades planned with you, daily snapshots plus optional Dual Backups with logical dumps, monitoring on connections, bloat, and slow queries, and the managed firewall in front of 5432.
- What it needs
- 1 GB RAM
Fits on SC-1GB, from $5/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.
Your options
Three ways to run PostgreSQL.
Installing PostgreSQL is the easy part. The real question is who keeps it running.
| Do it yourselfOn any unmanaged VPS | One-click imageAt most clouds | RemarkableCloudManaged PostgreSQL, from $5/mo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installing PostgreSQL | You: dependencies, database, HTTPS | Preinstalled once, then it is yours | Deployed by a tested playbook, database and HTTPS wired |
| Updates | You | You | Us, with a snapshot first |
| Monitoring and security | You | You | Us, 24/7: monitoring, firewall and IDS |
| Backups | You | Usually a paid add-on | Daily snapshots included, Dual Backups optional |
| Other apps on the server | Yours to wire up | One app per server | As many as fit, $0 each |
| When something breaks | You fix it | You fix it | Our engineers fix it, day or night |
Built for
What people run on PostgreSQL here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
The developer's database
The default for modern frameworks: Rails, Django, Laravel, Node ORMs all treat Postgres as first choice.
Apps that outgrow SQLite
When the side project gets real users, this is the migration target, on a server you control.
JSON and relational together
JSONB gives document flexibility inside a real relational engine. One database instead of two.
Vector and AI workloads
Extensions like pgvector make Postgres the pragmatic store for embeddings without adding a dedicated vector database.
Stack it
PostgreSQL works better with company.
Everything here can run on the same server as PostgreSQL, at $0 per app. The server only needs the room.

The details
PostgreSQL here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What does managed PostgreSQL hosting include?
A current, correctly tuned Postgres with layered backups, watched monitoring, and deliberate exposure, at flat server pricing. The parts of RDS people actually want, without the meter.
Why do modern stacks default to Postgres?
Because it does relational and document work in one engine: JSONB with real indexing, transactional DDL, and extensions from PostGIS to pgvector. Most of the automation and AI tools in this catalog, n8n included, list Postgres as their production database.
Can Postgres back my stacked apps?
Yes, one instance with a database per app is the clean pattern, and the playbooks wire catalog apps to it. n8n plus Postgres plus Redis on one server is a complete production automation stack at the price of the server.
How are major version upgrades handled?
Deliberately: Postgres majors change on their own schedule, so we plan the pg_upgrade with you, snapshot first, verify, then switch. Minor security releases just happen as part of management.
FAQ
PostgreSQL hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How much RAM does PostgreSQL need?
1 GB serves small applications well; Postgres is efficient. Analytics on wide tables or many connections push toward 4 GB and the Dedicated CPU family.
Are extensions available?
Yes: the PGDG packages carry the common extension set, and we install what your application calls for, pgvector included.
How are backups structured?
Daily snapshots, optional Dual Backups offsite, and scheduled pg_dump per database for surgical restores. Point-in-time WAL archiving can be arranged for stricter needs.
Can I install extensions like PostGIS or pgvector?
Yes, you hold root and the official repositories are configured, so contrib and popular extensions install normally. Tell us on Fully Managed and we do it for you.
How are upgrades between majors handled?
Minor updates apply routinely. Major version jumps use pg_upgrade and deserve a snapshot first; on Fully Managed we schedule and run them with you.
Is this PostgreSQL on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. PostgreSQL runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Can you help me move my existing data over?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
PostgreSQL runs. You sleep.
