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

After deploy

Copy connection strings into app secrets or shared variables — not source control. Turn on backups before important data. Also see the Postgres database guide. Full deploy steps: How to use ready-made apps.
