We plan to work towards maturing our Postgres offering towards a more “managed” database offering.
This shall be a longer endeavor and we’ll continue to share updates as well as milestones along the way with you all here!
Among others, we are considering features such as changing credentials, version upgrades, replication, failovers, extensions, point-in-time recovery (Postgres-native backups)
Have thoughts and opinions on helping us shape this? Drop ‘em down here

Would like an easy interface to help with prioritizing query tuning. Show me the slowest queries, ones run most often, etc.
It would also be helpful to see basic stats like DB size, rows per table, size per table, and index size.

Your competitor Heroku offers a “pg-extras” package out of the box which is just a wrapper over some queries made possible with basic Postgres plugins. It’s invaluable for a DB intermediate, let alone a beginner.

I'd love read-only replicas with auto-failover. Plus I wish i could add pgvector to my existing postgres instance without interruption. Currently I can't enable it.

In my opinion, this is the most important feature for production apps. The app container itself already supports replicas, which is fine. But the database needs to support replication and failover as well for solid performance and availability. Looking forward to it!

Read replicas
HA failover
Upgrades
IP whitelisting for the TCP proxy (so it's not just 0.0.0.0/0 or nothing)

Integrate with something like planetscale and treat it like a railway component?
It has all the features one needs and world class performance that i haven't seen any other managed DB match. If it had a native-like interface on railway i'd reach for it every time

I like all the features mentioned, but I would really like a simple way to run queries or a UI table editor. That would be very helpful.
