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.
