Managed databases & services

Your stack
Less to
manage

Databases, caches, event streams, and storage, managed alongside your app. Attach a service and get connection details in your environment. Keep the drivers and libraries you already use.

product needs

Start with one service. Add the next when you need it.
Your code talks to each through the tools it already uses.

01 / Application data

Store application data and keep frequent reads fast

Relational database

PostgreSQL

from €5 / month
Your application’s source of truth

Accounts, transactions, and relational data. Keep your PostgreSQL tools and libraries, with managed plans from a first prototype to a highly available production database.

Start small
Hobby plans include a single node and manual backups.
Build for production
Standard brings local NVMe and scheduled backups. Async followers start at Standard 1.
Add resilience
Premium adds a synchronous standby, automatic failover, and a stable write endpoint.

Vector & hybrid search

Qdrant

From €25/mo
Search by meaning, with native clients

Dense and sparse vectors, metadata filtering, and hybrid retrieval through Qdrant REST and gRPC. Choose a single peer, replicated workers, or a cluster spanning three EU locations.

Native APIs
Use official Qdrant SDKs and control collection settings directly.
Sizes within each tier
Hobby, Standard, and Premium bundles specify peers, memory, CPU, and disk per peer.
Observed protection
Premium spans three locations. Actual shard replicas determine collection protection.

Redis-compatible cache

Valkey

from €1 / month
Keep the hot path fast

Caching, sessions, rate limiting, and fast coordination. Valkey speaks the Redis protocol, so your existing client libraries work unchanged.

Start with a cache
Hobby 0 is a non-persistent 25 MiB cache.
Persistence + failover
Every Premium plan includes AOF persistence, a managed HA standby, and automatic failover.
Room to grow
Premium sizes range from 50 MiB to 100 GiB, with manual and scheduled backups.

ClickHouse

from €35 / month
Query the events behind your product

Product analytics, time series, large aggregations, and customer-facing dashboards. A column-oriented database built for queries over large, append-heavy datasets.

Explore
Single-node Hobby plans for development and non-production analysis.
Replicate
Standard runs two replicas across two German zones, with local NVMe and scheduled backups.
Scale out
Premium adds multiple shards with two replicas per shard and distributed tables.

Kafka-compatible streaming

Redpanda

from €30 / month
Let your services move independently

Durable, ordered, replayable streams for event sourcing, audit trails, and producer–consumer pipelines. Keep your Kafka client libraries and give every consumer its own pace.

Develop
A single-broker Hobby tier for trying out your event architecture.
Go into production
Standard uses three brokers, replication factor 3, and rack-aware placement.
Control retention
Choose retention per topic and replay from any retained offset. Premium adds an eight-broker topology.

03 / Storage & observability

Store files and see how your app behaves

S3-compatible buckets

Object storage

from €2 / month
Store uploads, exports, and assets

User uploads, images, exports, and archives. Each add-on gives you a bucket and scoped credentials, with the environment variables that S3-compatible clients expect.

Familiar clients
Use boto3, AWS SDKs, rclone, and other S3-compatible tools.
Practical sizes
Hobby and Standard range from 25 GB to 1 TB in a single zone.
Cross-zone storage
Premium offers up to 4 TB with geo-replication across three EU zones.

Logs
From €19 / month for 25 GB of ingestion and 7-day retention.
Metrics + traces
Hobby includes 1,000 active metric series and 1 GB / month of trace ingestion.
One place to look

Services that work across apps

Share services
across your apps

How add-ons work
01

Team-owned, app-attached

Share an add-on across multiple apps. Destroying an app does not destroy its add-ons, so your service lifecycle can follow your data.

02

Credentials, already in place

Connection details arrive as config variables. Attach a second database with an alias and get a separate, clearly named connection.

03

Backups with a restore workflow

PostgreSQL, persistent Valkey, and ClickHouse support backup and restore workflows. Choose the plan that matches the durability your product needs.

Add what you need, when you need it
