Managed PostgreSQL database for modern workloads

PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source relational database known for its stability, performance, and data integrity. Backed by an active community, it extends the SQL standard with advanced features and is widely used in sectors such as finance due to its ACID compliance.
With Managed PostgreSQL, provisioning, updates, backups, and monitoring are fully automated, reducing operational overhead. You can focus on building applications instead of managing infrastructure. Exoscale Managed PostgreSQL offers a scalable and secure environment for complex workloads, giving developers and teams the flexibility to run data-driven services without deep database expertise.

Start, scale, monitor. All in the same, simple interface.
