Database Cloud Modernization
Cloud Modernization for PostgreSQL
Adopt managed PostgreSQL with secure connectivity, high availability and an operating model built for growth.
Service Overview
PostgreSQL has become the default database of modern software — but self-managed PostgreSQL carries a real operational tax: patching, replication management, backup verification, connection tuning, and the 2 a.m. pages that come with all of it. Managed PostgreSQL services shift that burden to the cloud platform while unlocking capabilities like automated failover, read replicas, and point-in-time recovery.
Our pathway moves you to the managed service that fits your workload — Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Amazon RDS or Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, or AlloyDB — with private networking, proper authentication, and monitoring designed in from the start. Extensions, logical replication, and query performance are validated in a pilot before production data moves, and cutover can be run online (near-zero downtime) or offline depending on your tolerance.
Beyond the migration, we prepare PostgreSQL for what's next: connection pooling, read replicas, partitioning for growth, and pgvector readiness so the same database that runs your application can power semantic search and AI features.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which managed PostgreSQL service should we choose?
It depends on your cloud footprint and workload profile. Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Amazon RDS and Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, and AlloyDB each have different scaling models, extension support, and pricing. The assessment phase matches your workload characteristics to the right target.
Will our PostgreSQL extensions work on a managed service?
Most common extensions are supported, but each managed service has an allowlist. We inventory your extensions during assessment and validate every one during the pilot — including alternatives when an extension is not available on the chosen platform.
Can the migration be done without downtime?
For most workloads, yes — logical replication keeps the managed target synchronized with your existing database, so cutover is a brief connection switch rather than an outage. Offline migration remains an option for smaller or less time-sensitive systems.
What is pgvector readiness and why does it matter?
pgvector adds vector similarity search to PostgreSQL, letting the database you already run power AI features like semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation. We prepare your managed instance for it as part of the Optimize & Modernize phase, so AI capability is a configuration away rather than a new platform.
What does the ongoing managed service include?
From $2,500–$7,000/month: monitoring and alerting, backup verification, patching coordination, performance tuning, capacity planning, and support — the operational layer on top of the cloud platform’s managed infrastructure.
