Aiven for PostgreSQL®
Fully managed and hosted PostgreSQL with high performance and all the extensions you want out of the box.
How it works
What is PostgreSQL like with Aiven?
Set up fully managed PostgreSQL in less than 10 minutes — directly from our web console or programmatically via our API, CLI, Terraform provider or Kubernetes operator. Our stand-by nodes act automatically as read replicas, and you can also create additional read replicas in different public clouds and regions, even building multi-cloud architectures. Our Point-In-Time-Recovery lets you restore your data to any time within your selected retention period.
Build advanced applications with Aiven for PostgreSQL
A fully managed SQL relational database, deployable in the cloud of your choice. Known for reliability, a robust set of features, and exceptionally high performance. Fits well for almost any case, such as creating location-based services, mission critical business applications or simply as a general transactional database.
Resources:
Create flexible read replicas
Replicate data to other regions and clouds for disaster recovery and geo proximity - even building multi-cloud architectures. Even our standard high-availability plans come with 1 or 2 standby nodes, which also act as automatic read replicas.
Resources:
Integrate your PostgreSQL with other Aiven services
Connect your PostgreSQL easily with our event-streaming services Aiven for Apache Kafka and Flink using built-in connectors. You can also use Aiven for Redis as a cache for your PostgreSQL, for optimized performance in certain use cases.

Integrate with your favorite external logging and monitoring tools
Easy integrations with tools like Datadog, Prometheus, AWS CloudWatch, Elasticsearch, and more — or Aiven services for M3, Grafana and OpenSearch for enhanced monitoring and logging. Expose your server or service specific metrics to external endpoints to monitor the health of your PostgreSQL cluster.
