AlloyDB for PostgreSQL

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL is a managed database from Google Cloud that is compatible with PostgreSQL. It is a proprietary managed service, so it is run only as a managed cloud offering on Google Cloud, and there is no downloadable software to install. Buyers should take current prices from Google Cloud’s pricing page or calculator. For that reason this entry gives no version, release date or price. Buyers should read the AlloyDB release notes, which are published in the Google Cloud documentation, to see what has changed recently and which features are available. They should also use the Google Cloud pricing page and calculator to estimate costs for their own workload and region. Because the service is tied to Google Cloud, organisations should consider how they would move their data elsewhere if their needs changed. The PostgreSQL compatibility makes it practical for applications already written for PostgreSQL to move across, although each application should be tested against the managed service before a production migration is planned.
