Kind: Managed Postgres platform · License: Managed service · Last verified: 2026-10-05

Managed Postgres with autoscaling, scale to zero, connection pooling, and isolated database branches. The platform also offers Managed Better Auth, with auth state stored in Postgres and isolated with each branch.

Reach for it when:
- Postgres applications that need isolated database branches for previews and tests
- Server-side SQL or ORM access with a connection strategy suited to the deployment

Worth knowing: Data-bearing branches can copy sensitive records and auth state; use schema-only branches or approved test data when appropriate. Check current compute, branch, and restore limits. This label describes the hosted service, not a license for its underlying projects.
