PostgreSQL
You’ll get a relational database your apps can connect to in the same environment.
Choose this when
- Apps need PostgreSQL from the ready-made catalog
- You prefer the catalog flow over the dedicated Databases path (see chooser if unsure)
What you get
- PostgreSQL in your environment
- Connection details (host, port, user, database name) on the app detail page
- Disk / storage for durable data
- Optional admin tooling when the template includes it
Options
| Option | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Environment | Prefer the same environment as the apps that use it |
| Disk / storage | Durable data capacity |
| Resources / copies | Capacity |
After deploy
Copy connection strings into app secrets or shared variables — not source control. Turn on backups before important data.
Query statistics turn on the next time the database is updated, and that update restarts it. How to read them, raise the limit, or turn them off: Read query statistics.
