[ DATABASE AS A SERVICE ]
Powerful PostgreSQL, radically simple.
A production-ready database in minutes. We run the cluster, you keep the standard Postgres you already know — metered per RU-hour.

A database that just works.
You love PostgreSQL, but operating it is a drain. Configuration, scaling, backups and failover drills steal focus from the thing you are actually paid to build. We take the cluster, you keep the database.
- Standard PostgreSQL, no forks
- 100% compatible with the community version. Your existing tools, libraries and knowledge keep working.
- Built for resilience and scale
- Read replicas spread the traffic; the cluster promotes a new primary on its own when one is lost.
- Always on, always ready
- No cold starts. Connections are accepted at the same low latency at 3am as at peak.
- Enterprise security
- SSL, network isolation, automated backups and point-in-time recovery, on EU soil.
Reliable and extendable.
Geospatial, vectors, time series — the popular extensions are already installed on the cluster, as the terminal above shows. Pick one to see what it turns on.
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
PostGIS
Industry-leading geospatial capabilities for location-aware applications. Store, index and query spatial data at scale.
See the database →What it costs
The replica you are not using costs nothing.
Compute is metered per RU-hour, and a service with no active containers consumes no credits. So a read replica that scaled to zero overnight is a zero on the bill — not a rounding difference.

What it runs on
Built on a stack you can trust.
No black boxes. The platform is standard, open-source infrastructure — the same components you would pick yourself, operated for you.
- Kubernetes foundation
- Orchestration that keeps instances scalable, portable and resilient.
- CloudNativePG (CNPG)
- The CNPG operator automates the whole lifecycle of your cluster.
- Open standards
- No lock-in. Open source throughout, portable by design.
- API-first design
- Manage databases programmatically, via REST API and CLI.
Questions before you start.
The ones we get asked most. Anything else, ask us directly — a person answers.
Ask us something else →What makes this different from any other Postgres host?
It is standard PostgreSQL, not a fork, run by the CloudNativePG operator on Kubernetes. Your tools, drivers and extensions behave exactly as they do locally, and nothing you build here has to be unbuilt to leave.
How does billing actually work?
Compute is metered per RU-hour — CHF 0.01 per RU per hour on the shared pool, CHF 0.015 dedicated — plus CHF 0.10 per GB of storage per month. Every plan includes a package of credits, and a service with no active containers consumes none of them.
Which extensions can I use?
PostGIS, pgvector and TimescaleDB are already installed on the cluster. If you need one that is not, tell us what the workload requires and we make it available.
What happens when the primary fails?
The operator promotes a replica and re-points connections on its own — no ticket, no page. Backups run automatically with point-in-time recovery, so an accidental delete is recoverable too.
Can I migrate an existing database?
Yes, with the standard tools: pg_dump and pg_restore for a straightforward move, or logical replication when you need to cut over with minimal downtime. Because there is no fork, nothing in your schema needs rewriting.
Where does my data live, and how is it protected?
On EU soil, with SSL in transit and network isolation between tenants. Backups are automated and point-in-time recovery is included on every cluster.
