Benefits

• **Fully managed PostgreSQL: **PostgreSQL as a service means IBM manages point-in-time backups, read replicas, logging, monitoring, scaling, hardware setup and software patching.
• **Highly available: **PostgreSQL deployments are built for high availability, using multiple availability zones for a 99.99% SLA. Access is routed through a single endpoint.
• **Advanced security: **Data is encrypted at rest and in motion. IBM® Key Protect provides bring-your-own-key (BYOK) encryption. Compliant with SOC 2 Type 2, PCI, HIPAA and GDPR.
• **Scale effortlessly: **Scale disk and RAM independently to fit your application needs or use autoscaling. Add read replicas to your PostgreSQL deployments to offload traffic.
• **Automation aware: **Get to global scale with integrated, infrastructure-as-code tools, such as IBM Cloud Schematics with Terraform and Red Hat® Ansible® support at no additional charge.
• **Flexible options: **Separately scale disk, RAM and vCPUs for each PostgreSQL deployment. There’s no need to migrate instance classes to accommodate growth. Pay hourly.
