Worry-free PostgreSQL hosting

Leave the complexity of PostgreSQL administration to us. We’ll handle setting up, backing up, and updating, so you can focus on building great apps.

Why PostgreSQL?

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.

Powerful & scalable

Quickly and easily spin up a high-performance database cluster.

Easy Setup

Launch a database cluster with just a few clicks and then access it via our simplified UI or API. Easily migrate your database from another location with minimal downtime.

Highly scalable

Scale up at any time to support your business growth. Dynamically increase CPUs, RAM, and storage on existing MySQL clusters and easily spin up read-only nodes to scale read operations.

Free daily backups

Your data is critical. That’s why we ensure it’s backed up automatically every day. Restore data to any point within the previous seven days.

Automated failover

Databases run in your account’s private network, and only whitelisted requests via the public internet can reach your database. Data is also encrypted in transit and at rest.

Fast, reliable performance

In the event of a failure, Managed Databases will automatically switch data handling to a standby node to minimize downtime.

End-to-end security

Managed Databases run on enterprise-class hardware for fast performance. Run your clusters on Droplets with shared vCPUs or choose Droplets with 100% dedicated vCPUs for mission-critical workloads.

DigitalOcean's Managed Databases have been a game-changer. They’ve done a fantastic job of removing the complexity of setting up, tuning, and securing databases for production use.
