About Fly Postgres

Fly Postgres (Unmanaged) provides a flexible PostgreSQL database platform designed for enterprises seeking control over their database clusters without relying on fully managed services. It enables organizations to bootstrap and manage PostgreSQL clusters with essential features such as replication, failover, monitoring, metrics, and daily snapshots. The platform supports preset configurations including single-node development setups and high-availability three-node clusters that automatically handle node failures and failover processes.

Targeted at enterprises with technical expertise to manage their own database infrastructure, Fly Postgres offers the ability to scale horizontally, add read-only replicas across regions, and leverage Fly.io's global proxy capabilities for distributed database architectures. While the core Fly Postgres app is open source, the unmanaged service itself is not fully managed, requiring users to handle operational responsibilities. This solution is ideal for organizations prioritizing flexibility and control over their PostgreSQL deployments within a cloud-native environment.
