IBM Cloud® Databases for PostgreSQL, our PostgreSQL database-as-a-service offering, lets teams spend more time building with high availability, backup orchestration, point-in-time-recovery (PITR) and read replica with ease.

Features
Powerful. Customizable. Open source.
Fully managed PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL as a service means IBM manages point-in-time backups, read replicas, logging, monitoring, scaling, hardware setup and software patching.
Highly available
PostgreSQL deployments are built for high availability, using multiple availability zones for a 99.99% SLA. Access is routed through a single endpoint.
Advanced security
Data is encrypted at rest and in motion. IBM® Key Protect provides bring-your-own-key (BYOK) encryption. Compliant with SOC 2 Type 2, PCI, HIPAA and GDPR.
Scale effortlessly
Scale disk and RAM independently to fit your application needs or use autoscaling. Add read replicas to your PostgreSQL deployments to offload traffic.
Automation aware
Get to global scale with integrated, infrastructure-as-code tools, such as IBM Cloud Schematics with Terraform and Red Hat® Ansible® support at no additional charge.
Flexible options
Separately scale disk, RAM and vCPUs for each PostgreSQL deployment. There’s no need to migrate instance classes to accommodate growth. Pay hourly.
