Why Rivestack for managed PostgreSQL
Dedicated hardware, vector-ready, and priced like it's 2026.
Dedicated NVMe, not shared block storage
Local NVMe keeps storage close to your database for fast index scans and vector search.
NVMe vs cloud SSD benchmarks →pgvector and extensions, ready to go
Choose PostgreSQL 16, 17, or 18 with pgvector, pgvectorscale, and common extensions ready.
Why managed Postgres for AI →Backups, HA, and monitoring included
Daily backups, recovery, and monitoring are included. Add nodes for automatic failover.
PostgreSQL high availability →Managed PostgreSQL, compared

Managed PostgreSQL FAQ
What teams ask before moving a Postgres workload.
We provision, secure, back up, and operate PostgreSQL. You keep full SQL access, familiar tools, and pgvector on local NVMe.
Rivestack focuses on Postgres, pgvector, local NVMe, and fixed pricing. RDS suits AWS estates, Supabase bundles app services, Neon offers serverless branching, and Aiven spans multiple clouds.
Yes. pgvector stores embeddings beside your relational data for semantic search, RAG, and recommendations using SQL.
Dedicated clusters support PostgreSQL 16, 17, and 18 and currently default to 17. pgvector and pgvectorscale are enabled by default, alongside pg_trgm, pg_stat_statements, pgcrypto, and uuid-ossp. The dashboard lists other extensions you can add.
Yes. Daily backups and recovery to a point in time are included, with 7 days of retention on Solo and 14 days on HA plans. Backups are stored separately; manual backups are also available.
Clusters run 1 to 3 nodes managed by Patroni with asynchronous streaming replication. With 2 or more healthy nodes, Patroni can promote a replica and the load balancer keeps the same endpoint. Existing sessions disconnect, so applications must retry; failover time varies and recent unreplicated transactions can be lost. Single-node Solo does not include failover.
Yes. Use pg_dump and pg_restore, or contact us about logical replication. We help plan the migration and its maintenance window.
Solo starts at $29/month; Starter at $49/node. New customers can try Solo free for 7 days with a card. Queries, IOPS, and egress are not metered.
In the region you choose: EU Central (Falkenstein, Germany), US East (Virginia), or Singapore. EU databases and their backups stay within the EU for GDPR-aligned data residency. Database and backup traffic is encrypted in transit; contact us before relying on a specific encryption-at-rest or compliance control.
PgBouncer supports 500 clients on Solo, 2,000 on Starter, 5,000 on Growth, and 10,000 on Scale. Transactions share 20 to 40 database slots; extra clients queue. See the connection guide for details.
