How it works

Open source relational database

PostgreSQL is an Object-Relational Database Management System (ORDBMS), meaning it has relational database capabilities and an object-oriented design. It is used for managing read-write operations, large datasets, and complex queries, and is frequently used for mission-critical applications like web, mobile, geospatial, and analytics. It is ACID-compliant (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability) for reliable database transactions.

With Aiven for PostgreSQL, you can set up managed Postgres database in less than 10 minutes — directly from our web console or programmatically via our API, CLI, Terraform provider or Kubernetes operator. Use Aiven AI database optimizer to get performance insights, and index and SQL rewrite suggestions to optimize performance.
