Reliability

Failover that hits within 30 seconds.

Synchronous replication to a warm standby in a different fault zone, automatic election when the primary stops responding. We measure failover end-to-end every week.

  • Sync replication for zero RPO on Production+
  • Automatic primary election with split-brain protection
  • Drill failover from the dashboard with a single click

Insight

Slow-query telemetry + index advisor.

We tail pg_stat_statements (or the equivalent) and bubble up the queries actually costing you something. The advisor suggests indexes you can apply with one click.

  • pg_stat_statements / performance_schema rolled up automatically
  • Index advisor with simulated cost diff before applying
  • Query plan tree visualisation with hot-path highlighting

Migrations

Move in without downtime.

Logical replication for Postgres, blue-green for MySQL, mongodump for Mongo. Our team plans the cutover, runs the dual-write window and flips the traffic with you on a call.

  • Free migration assist on every Production+ plan
  • Validation diff catches schema drift before cutover
  • Rollback plan that we will execute if cutover fails

Who it's for

Backends that cannot afford a midnight page.

Fintech backend lead

OLTP at 9k TPS, regulated

Premium plan with 3-node quorum, encrypted-at-rest with KMS keys they own. Failover during a zone reboot completed in 18 seconds, no app errors.

B2B SaaS team

Customer-tenant Postgres

One Production cluster with two read replicas; their pgBouncer pool absorbs 14k concurrent connections from 600 tenants. Cost: $123/mo, replacing $480 RDS.

Analytics engineer

20-second dashboards on a 280 GB warehouse

Promotes a read replica to a separate analytics endpoint. Index advisor lifted ten heavy queries to sub-1 second after a single round of suggestions.

FAQ

DB engineer questions, DB engineer answers.

Which engines and versions?
Postgres 14/15/16, MySQL 8 + MariaDB 11, Redis 6/7, MongoDB 6/7. We follow upstream within 30 days for major and 7 days for security minors.
How does PITR work?
WAL is shipped continuously to object storage in another region. You can restore the database to any second within the retention window — typically a 90 GB DB restores in under 8 minutes.
Can I bring my own extensions?
Yes — pg_vector, postgis, pg_partman, citus, timescaledb, pg_cron and 80+ others are pre-vetted. For something we have not packaged, share the source and we will sign it within a week.
How do migrations work?
Logical replication for Postgres, Aurora-blue-green migrate for MySQL, mongodump/mongorestore for MongoDB and SLAVEOF for Redis. We can run the cutover for you with zero data loss.
Is the connection pooler included?
Yes — PgBouncer for Postgres, ProxySQL for MySQL — exposed on a separate port with its own metrics. No extra charge.
Do read replicas replicate cross-region?
On Production and Premium, yes — async replicas in any of the 14 regions. Lag is typically <500ms within continent, <2.5s cross-continent.
