June 2026: Managed PostgreSQL

This week we shipped managed PostgreSQL on Sliplane.

You can now create production-ready Postgres databases from the Databases page, connect your apps, monitor performance, restore from backups, and control access without running the database infrastructure yourself.

Managed PostgreSQL

Sliplane Databases are fully managed PostgreSQL instances with SSL/TLS, backups, metrics, query stats, access control, and simple scaling built in.

That means you can still use Postgres like Postgres: connect from your app, your ORM, your CLI, or any database tool that speaks PostgreSQL. You just no longer need to patch the host, wire up TLS, configure backups, or keep an eye on the boring-but-critical parts yourself.

Point-in-Time Recovery

Every managed Postgres database includes Point-in-Time Recovery with a 7-day backup window. This means that within the last 7 days you can restore to the state of any second.

When you restore, Sliplane creates a new database at the selected point in time. Your current database is left untouched, so you can verify the restore, compare data, or migrate over when you're ready.

Metrics and Query Stats

The dashboard gives you database-specific metrics for CPU, memory, disk, and active connections.

We also added query stats, so you can spot slow queries and the queries consuming the most total execution time. Useful when your app feels slower and you need to know whether the problem is code, missing indexes, connection pressure, or simply a database that needs more room.

Access Control

Managed databases come with IP allowlists.

You can add single IPs or CIDR ranges for your office, VPN, CI runner, app server, or local machine. Anything not on the list is blocked. If the list is empty, all external access is blocked until you add a rule.

Pricing and Scaling

Database pricing is based on compute plus storage.

Shared instances start at €19/month, excluding VAT, and every database includes 10 GB of storage. Extra storage is billed separately, and you can choose hourly, monthly, or yearly billing. Monthly commitments save 20% compared to hourly, and yearly commitments save 33%.

You can scale compute and storage from the dashboard with zero downtime when your database grows.

Check the managed Postgres docs for the full guide, including connection examples, backups, access control, metrics, limits, and pricing.

That's it for this week. As always, if you run into any issues or have feedback, hit us up via the chat widget or at support@sliplane.io.

See you next week,
