Managed PostgreSQL on your own infrastructure

Give teams the database experience they expect from a public cloud, on hardware inside your perimeter: PostgreSQL provisioned on request, highly available, lifecycle handled, scoped to the project that owns it.

Somebody always ends up babysitting the database

On-premises databases usually arrive in one of two shapes: a request in a ticket queue that takes days, or a virtual machine a team installed PostgreSQL on and now nobody wants to touch. Both mean the same thing, that managed PostgreSQL on-premises is a person rather than a service. edgeContinuum makes it a product in your catalog: a team asks for a database inside its project, the platform provisions it with high availability and the right storage size, and lifecycle management is the platform’s job from then on. It runs on the OpenStack you already operate, so the data stays exactly where your compliance story needs it.

PostgreSQL as a service, inside your perimeter

What teams mean when they ask for a managed Postgres service is usually a public cloud experience: pick a size, get a connection string, never think about the host again. That expectation is the standard now, and it is why an internal database request measured in days feels broken. edgeContinuum delivers the same shape of service, a fully managed Postgres instance provisioned from a catalog, on infrastructure you own rather than someone else’s region.

The difference from a hyperscaler managed database is where it sits and who can reach it: your OpenStack, your storage, your network, and in the on-premises model a control plane inside the same perimeter. The difference from a database on a VM is that nobody on your team owns it personally.

A database in a few clicks

Databases live where the rest of the platform lives: inside a project, under the quotas that project was given, requested from the same console, API or Terraform provider as clusters and VMs. Teams stop waiting for provisioning, and platform owners keep the guardrails, because who can create what is governed by roles and quotas.

Lifecycle is the platform’s job

The platform runs on declarative foundations, so a database is a declared desired state that the system keeps true: provisioning, high availability, storage sizing and lifecycle management are handled rather than scheduled. The AI assistant in the console answers questions about what you run, including inventory, versions and health.

Next to the clusters that use it

Most databases exist to serve an application, and that application usually runs on a cluster. Here both are services in the same platform, in the same project, with the same roles and quotas: a managed Kubernetes cluster, its PostgreSQL instance and the VMs around them, provisioned from one console and reconciled by one control plane.

Frequently asked questions

What is managed PostgreSQL?
Managed PostgreSQL means the database is delivered as a service rather than as a server you look after. You ask for an instance, state how big it should be, and get a database; provisioning, high availability, storage sizing and lifecycle management belong to the platform from then on. What makes edgeContinuum different from a public cloud managed database is location and control: the instance runs on the OpenStack you operate, inside your own network and perimeter, and in the on-premises model the control plane managing it sits there too.
Is this the same as a managed Postgres service in the public cloud?
Same experience, different location and different economics. Teams get the self-service catalogue, project-scoped instances and hands-off operation they expect from a cloud managed database. The instance itself runs on your hardware, so data residency, network isolation and air-gapped operation are properties of where it actually is rather than contract terms. Pricing is a subscription per managed resource, so one database is one resource, independent of cores, storage tiers or users.
Can we offer PostgreSQL as a service to our own teams or clients?
Yes, and that is the usual reason people put it in the catalogue. Databases are created inside a project, governed by the roles and quotas that project carries, and usage is tracked per tenant per managed resource. Whether the tenants are internal teams or paying clients, each one self-serves inside its own envelope without seeing anyone else’s.
Which PostgreSQL version do we get?
The platform provisions current PostgreSQL releases, such as 16.10 on the production console today, and manages the instance lifecycle from there.
Where does the data live?
On the infrastructure you connected to the platform: your OpenStack, your storage, inside your perimeter. In the fully on-premises model the control plane is there as well, so nothing leaves the site.
Is high availability included?
Yes, managed PostgreSQL is provisioned with high availability, together with storage sizing and lifecycle management.
Who can create a database?
Whoever you allow. Databases are created inside a project, and the roles and quotas attached to that project decide who may create one and how much they may consume.
How is it priced?
A subscription per resource managed through the platform, so a database instance is one managed resource, independent of cores, storage tiers or users.
