Managed PostgreSQL

Dedicated PostgreSQL 16 servers provisioned and configured automatically. You get a connection string — redu.cloud handles the setup.

How it works

  1. Go to Managed → Databases and click New database
  2. Choose a name, server size, and SSH keypair
  3. redu.cloud creates a dedicated Ubuntu server with PostgreSQL pre-configured
  4. Once provisioning is complete (~5 minutes), your connection string appears

What’s included

  • PostgreSQL 16 (or 14/15)
  • Dedicated server — no shared resources
  • Your own username, password, and database
  • Server accessible on port 5432

Pricing

Billed as a standard compute instance. There is no additional database fee. A Medium server (£20/month) is the starting point for most applications.

Connection string format

postgresql://YOUR_USER:YOUR_PASSWORD@SERVER_IP:5432/YOUR_DATABASE

Use this with any PostgreSQL client, ORM, or framework.

Backups

Use the standard snapshot feature to back up the server at any point. Automated daily backups are on the roadmap.
