Introduction

Welcome to your flexible, cloud-powered PostgreSQL Flex service. This product delivers PostgreSQL as a service.

PostgreSQL is an ACID-compatible SQL database.

With STACKIT’s PostgreSQL Flex, you can create instances in various configurations in a single click, which otherwise would need a high effort to realize. With replica sets, STACKIT offers high availability with no user effort. With sharded clusters, you can increase performance by splitting your data across multiple entities. Both replica and sharded can be combined and created within seconds. Furthermore, PostgreSQL Flex integrates PostgreSQL seamlessly into the STACKIT universe by adopting the overall permissions, role models and backup concepts.

This documentation enables you to use the full potential of STACKIT’s PostgreSQL Flex. The Getting started section enables you to set up an instance with common settings and connect to it within minutes. In the How-tos section, you learn about all the features, concepts and settings of the product in depth.
