PostgreSQL
Fully managed PostgreSQL — provisioned in seconds, with automatic backups and two ready-to-use connection URLs (internal for your other Runsite services, external for everything else).
You don’t manage the server, OS or upgrades — just the database itself.

Supported versions
Section titled “Supported versions”| Version | Notes |
|---|---|
| 14 | Older — pick if you have legacy compatibility needs. |
| 15 | Standard. |
| 16 | Default. Recommended for new databases. |
| 17 | Latest. |
Pick the major version when you create the database. Minor updates are applied automatically during platform maintenance.
Creating a database
Section titled “Creating a database”From the dashboard: pick a project, choose the major version and storage size, hit create. Provisioning takes a few seconds.
When the database is ready, the dashboard shows the credentials and both connection URLs. Copy them now — the password is shown once and cannot be retrieved later (you can only reset it).
Storage
Section titled “Storage”| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Storage size | How many GB the volume gets at creation. |
| Storage autoscaling | Optional toggle. When usage approaches the limit, Runsite grows the volume automatically — no downtime, no manual action. |
Lifecycle
Section titled “Lifecycle”| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Start | Bring a stopped database back online. Data is preserved. |
| Stop | Shut the database down. Compute is released; storage and data are kept. |
| Delete | Remove the database permanently. There is no undo — make a backup first. |
Where to next
Section titled “Where to next”- Connecting — internal vs external URLs and how to use them.
- Dashboard — what each tab does.
- Backups — automatic schedule, on-demand backups and restore.
Need a key-value store?
If you want a fast in-memory cache, queue, or pub/sub channel instead of a relational database, use Redis.
