Managed PostgreSQL, deployed in seconds.
PostgreSQL 16 with SSL, daily backups, and a connection string ready to paste in under a minute.
The part you actually came here for
Standard PostgreSQL, the way you'd self-host it - minus the YAML, the firewall rules, and the 3 AM alerts.
From click to connection string.
That’s a fully provisioned PostgreSQL 16 database with SSL enabled, backups configured, and a copyable connection string. We publish the unedited recording so you can verify it yourself.
Two reasons this matters. First, you can spin up throwaway databases for testing, demos, and branches without losing your flow. Second: if provisioning is fast, everything else is probably fast too.
Paste a connection string. We do the rest.
We use standard PostgreSQL tooling internally (pg_dump / pg_restore), verify every table and row count with checksums, and hand you a new connection string when it's done. Your source database is never modified.
Daily, encrypted, tested. The way backups should work.
Each backup is checksummed, encrypted, and restorable in one click. We run weekly restore drills internally because untested backups aren't backups.
Standard PostgreSQL. Standard clients.
Every client you'd reach for already speaks Swyftstack.
psql "postgresql://user:pass@host.swyftstack.com:5432/dbname?sslmode=require"
The boring parts done well
CPU, memory, disk I/O, active connections, query rate - all visible on the dashboard. Slow query log on Growth and above.
Email alerts at 80% and 95% of any resource limit. Webhook alerts on Growth.
Security patches within 24 hours of upstream release. Major version upgrades are opt-in with rollback windows.
Starter starts at $19 / month
Both Starter and Growth include daily backups, one-click restore, migration tooling, and the full PostgreSQL feature set.
Common questions
Is this real PostgreSQL or a fork?
Real PostgreSQL. Same binaries from postgresql.org. We don't fork or modify the engine.
Can I run pg_dump against my Swyftstack database?
Yes. We don't restrict standard PostgreSQL tooling. psql, pg_dump, pg_restore, prisma migrate, alembic - all work normally.
Do you support read replicas?
On the roadmap for V1.1. If you need it sooner, email us and we'll move it up.
Do you offer point-in-time recovery?
Available on Enterprise. We'll tell you honestly if your use case needs it or not.
Can I bring my own SSL certificate?
On Enterprise. Default certificates are managed by us and auto-renewed.
Can I IP-allowlist connections?
Yes - connection rules in the dashboard. Default is open with strong auth; restrict to specific IPs or CIDR ranges as needed.
Is the database actually dedicated?
Growth and Enterprise plans run on dedicated PostgreSQL CPU. Starter runs on shared compute with isolation and strict quotas.
