Production Postgres. Without operating Postgres.
Velixir's managed Postgres runs on CloudNativePG - the same operator that powers self-hosted Postgres at companies like Microsoft and the European Space Agency. Point-in-time recovery, automatic backups, optional HA. Hourly EUR billing, no per-IO fees.
What you get
Concrete features, not bullet-point buzzwords.
Point-in-time recovery
Restore to any second within your retention window (7-90 days depending on tier). WAL ships to Hetzner Object Storage continuously.
Sync-replica HA
Standard and above support an in-region synchronous replica. Primary fails, replica is promoted in under 10 seconds with zero data loss.
Read replicas
Pro ships one read replica; Scale ships three. Route reporting queries off the primary without a manual replication setup.
Cross-region backup
Scale-tier instances continuously ship WAL to a second EU region. DR-ready out of the box, no extra plumbing.
Connection pooling included
Every instance ships with PgBouncer in front so an Npgsql connection storm doesn't blow your max_connections.
One-click connection to apps
Link a database to an app and the connection string lands as DATABASE_URL. No copy-pasting credentials between dashboards.
In your code
DATABASE_URL is auto-injected as an env var when you link a database to an app.
// Read the auto-injected connection string
var conn = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DATABASE_URL");
// Standard Npgsql / EF Core from here
using var db = new NpgsqlConnection(conn);
await db.OpenAsync();
// Or with EF Core:
services.AddDbContext<AppDbContext>(o => o.UseNpgsql(conn));Pricing
Hourly EUR billing - pay only for what you use, scale up or down anytime.
All plans bill hourly. First month on us, up to €14.99 of credit - enough to run a Spark app, a Hobby database, and a Hobby cache for a full month.
What people run on Databases
- Relational data for ASP.NET apps via Npgsql / EF Core
- Migration target from Heroku Postgres, Azure DB for PostgreSQL, AWS RDS
- Read-replica routing for reporting workloads
- Audit log / event store with long retention
- DR target for self-hosted Postgres
