Single-node databases are now generally available
Single node Postgres databases are now available to all customers, starting at just $5 per month. Single node databases are a cost-effective option for early-stage projects, testing, development, and proof of concepts.
When creating or resizing a Postgres database, you have the option to choose between two types of production databases:
- A highly available (HA) configuration with 1 primary and at least two replicas (the default).
- A single-node, non-HA configuration.
Single-node databases do not come with replicas for high availability, but you can easily switch from non-HA mode to HA mode with just a couple clicks in your Cluster configuration page.
This release also includes our new PS-5 database size and lower prices for PS-DEV Postgres development branches.
Learn more about single-node databases in the announcement blog and in the documentation.
