Service type
Database service
Database service
PostgreSQL service
Self-hosted PostgreSQL database service for applications that keep relational data inside the stack.
Use it in stacks that need repeatable data workflows, scheduled backups, and realistic environment refreshes without rebuilding those steps manually.
Why teams use this service

Data workflows
Keep recovery points ready and move data between environments
PostgreSQL supports backup and import workflows, so teams can keep recovery points available, refresh staging, and create realistic working copies for testing or onboarding.
Attach backups to the service model
Keep scheduled backup behavior with the same versioned service definition instead of rebuilding it environment by environment.
Refresh staging and development with working data
Import archives into another environment when teams need realistic copies for testing, review, or onboarding.
Upload archives to cloud storage
Send backup archives to external storage providers instead of keeping them only inside the platform.
Runtime wiring
Reuse connectivity, storage, and runtime defaults
This service can expose ports, connect to other services, attach persistent storage, and define runtime defaults that become reusable inside stacks rather than being rebuilt case by case.

Derived services
Build your own service on top of PostgreSQL
These services already extend PostgreSQL. They show how the same base runtime can be turned into more specialized building blocks without rebuilding everything from scratch.
Database workflows
Explore the database-specific view for this service family
Database services also have a dedicated database page that focuses on deployment, managed database alternatives, backups, and other database-specific workflows.
