PostgreSQL is an open source, object-relational database built with a focus on extensibility, data integrity, and speed. Its concurrency support makes it fully ACID-compliant, and it supports dynamic loading and catalog-driven operations to let users customize its data types, functions, and more.
PostgreSQL 15 is now available for database clusters. You can also now perform in-place upgrades for PostgreSQL clusters to newer versions without any downtime. We currently support PostgreSQL 12, 13, 14, and 15.
When creating a new Kubernetes cluster, you can add a free database operator (now in beta), which allows you to automatically link new databases to your cluster. For more details, see our guide.
In App Platform, you can now create bindable environment variables for your PostgreSQL database connection pools. For detailed instructions, see our reference page.
