Scalingo for PostgreSQL® Overview
PostgreSQL®
PostgreSQL® is a free, open-source, community-managed object-relational database management system focusing on SQL compliance and extensibility. It is well-known for its performances, reliability and robustness, making it a very powerful database, able to handle small to huge workloads.
Besides the core features (ACID transactions, views, triggers, foreign keys, …) PostgreSQL® also offers solutions for more specialized usages, such as object storage with the native jsonb format, for specific dataset kinds, such as geographic datasets with the PostGIS extension, for time-series datasets with TimescaleDB or for vector similarity search thanks to the pgvector extension.

Life-Cycle
The PostgreSQL® project releases new major versions annually, introducing new features and performance improvements. At Scalingo, we ensure compatibility with these major versions, typically making them available on our platform about one year after their initial release.
While the PostgreSQL® community supports a major version for up to five years after its initial release, Scalingo supports each major version on our platform for three years, providing minor upgrades that include critical bug fixes and security patches. After this period, we gradually deprecate oldest versions to ensure security, performance, and operational efficiency.
