Latest Updates

1 May 2024

• App Platform developer databases now default to use PostgreSQL 14 upon creation instead of PostgreSQL 12. You can create a database that uses PostgreSQL 16 by specifying the engine version in your app’s spec, like this:

      
          
              
  databases:
  - engine: PG
    name: db-example
    version: "16"
