PostgreSQL Hosting with a daily snapshot included
The open source relational database with full SQL, JSONB and native full-text search, on an isolated instance about 1 ms from your applications.
From R$44.99/mo ≈ $8.10

v17
PostgreSQL version
TLS
Encrypted connection
The PostgreSQL you already know
Native features work as in the official documentation, with no custom dialect and no special driver.
JSONB with GIN indexes
Store JSON documents in a column and query them with GIN indexes, keeping SQL and joins.
MVCC
Reads don't block writes and writes don't block reads, so long queries don't stall the application.
Integrity in the database
Foreign keys, UNIQUE, CHECK and exclusion constraints keep invalid data out.
CTEs and window functions
Recursive queries, rankings and window aggregations right in SQL.
Native full-text search
tsvector, stemming in several languages and relevance ranking, without running a separate search service.
GiST indexes
Index ranges, geometry and proximity searches with generalized search trees.
Row-Level Security
Per-row policies for multi-tenant applications, enforced by the database itself.
Native types
UUIDs with gen_random_uuid(), arrays, enums, range types and network types, all in core PostgreSQL.
Connect with the driver you already use
The dashboard shows the instance's connection URL. Store it in your application's environment variables and use any PostgreSQL driver or ORM.
postgresql://squarecloud:<password>@square-cloud-db-<id>.squareweb.app:<port>
PrismaDrizzlenode-postgrespsycopgSQLAlchemyHibernate- Coming from another provider? Run pg_dump on the source and pg_restore pointed at the new URL.
- Instance certificates (.pem, .crt and .key) available to download in the dashboard.
What comes with every database
Every instance runs in the same datacenter as your applications, with TLS, a daily snapshot and metrics in the dashboard. You create, size and restore it yourself.
Close to your applications
Your applications connect through the instance address, with TLS, in the same New York datacenter. Average latency stays around 1 ms.
- About 1 ms average latency from your applications
- Enterprise NVMe disks
- Access from outside Square Cloud with host, port and password
- RAM adjustable in the dashboard
Daily snapshot included
Every database gets an automatic snapshot every 24 hours, on any plan with databases. Before a risky change, take a manual one and restore it in the dashboard if something goes wrong.
- Automatic daily: the latest kept up to 30 days, older ones 7
- Manual snapshots kept up to 30 days
- Restore and download in the dashboard
Isolated and encrypted
Each database runs in its own container, with dedicated vCPU calculated from the allocated RAM and the plan. The connection uses TLS with the instance's own certificate, which you download and renew whenever you want.
- TLS certificate per instance (.pem, .crt and .key)
- Password and certificate renewable in the dashboard
- CPU, memory and network metrics
- Tier 3 partner datacenter with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II
Combine with other services
Everything in the same dashboard, on the same infrastructure and the same invoice.

Frequently asked questions about PostgreSQL Hosting
JSONB, full-text search, read scaling and migrating existing PostgreSQL databases.
Which PostgreSQL version is provisioned?
The current stable LTS release, with minor patches applied automatically. The exact version in use is listed in the databases documentation.
Does PostgreSQL Hosting support extensions?
No. PostgreSQL Hosting is native PostgreSQL without extensions, so CREATE EXTENSION is not available. Core features work normally: JSONB with GIN indexes, native full-text search and gen_random_uuid() for generating UUIDs.
Can I use JSONB for semi-structured data?
Yes, native feature. JSONB with GIN indexes works normally and is a good alternative to MongoDB when you need SQL and documents in the same database.
How do I scale reads for high-volume workloads?
Each PostgreSQL Hosting instance is dedicated and isolated. To scale reads at high volume, we recommend connection pooling (e.g., PgBouncer client-side) and caching in an upper layer, where Redis Hosting fits well.
How do I migrate an existing PostgreSQL database?
Use pg_dump on the source + psql < dump.sql (or pg_restore) against Square Cloud's connection string. For zero downtime, use logical replication.
Can I connect with Prisma, Drizzle, SQLAlchemy or Hibernate?
Yes. The instance exposes the standard postgresql:// connection string, and any ORM or driver connects without adaptation.
Is PostgreSQL Hosting better than MySQL Hosting?
It depends on the project. PostgreSQL has JSONB, recursive CTEs, advanced window functions and custom types. MySQL has a wider ecosystem of legacy tooling. For new projects, PostgreSQL is the standard choice.
