Service type
Cloud PostgreSQL service
Connection service for apps that use managed PostgreSQL databases such as Amazon RDS instead of running PostgreSQL inside the stack.
This service does not run the database server itself. It sits in the stack to hold connection settings, secrets, and service wiring for apps that should talk to a managed database.

Stacks
Use it inside ready-made stacks or your own
Managed databases
Keep app-side database wiring in the service
Point the same stack at different providers
Use one provider in production and another in staging without rebuilding how the app connects to the database.
Keep connection details outside application code
Store database host, credentials, and related wiring in the platform instead of scattering them across codebases and environments.
Keep the database close to the cluster
When the stack runs on AWS EKS, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS), and Google Cloud Platform Kubernetes Engine (GKE), keep the managed database on the same cloud for faster connectivity and tighter security boundaries.
