About

Managed Postgres and Vitess (MySQL) databases for production apps. High-availability clusters run a primary and two replicas across three availability zones, and Neki adds horizontal sharding for Postgres. No free plan; single-node Postgres starts at $5/month.

What you can do with it

  • Run a production Postgres or MySQL database with automatic failover
  • Test schema changes on a branch and merge them with a deploy request
  • Find slow and expensive queries with query Insights

Get started

  1. Install the pscale CLI and log in
  2. Create a Postgres database in a region
  3. Reset the default role and connect with psql

Example

brew install pscale
pscale auth login
pscale database create my-db --region us-east --engine postgres
pscale role reset-default my-db main
