Instant provisioning.
Ready to connect.

Creating a database on Dock Hosting takes less than 10 seconds. We automatically generate secure credentials and provide you with a ready-to-use connection string.

Private Networking

Your database runs inside a VPC. It is completely isolated from the public internet and only accessible by your applications.

NVMe Storage

All databases are backed by high-performance NVMe SSDs ensuring incredibly low latency for read and write operations.

data workloads.

Automated Backups

We automatically snapshot your database every 24 hours and stream Write-Ahead Logs (WAL) continuously to S3.

Point-in-Time Recovery

Accidentally dropped a table? You can seamlessly restore your database to any specific second within your retention window.

High Availability

Add a read-replica with a single click. We automatically failover to the standby node if the primary goes down.

Managed PostgreSQL hosting

PostgreSQL with the production controls already included.

A database page should answer more than “can I host it?” DockHosting gives your PostgreSQL project the security, recovery, and developer workflow pieces teams ask for before launch.

Database firewall rules

Limit PostgreSQL access to trusted apps, IP addresses, or local tunnels instead of leaving it open by default.

Private networking

Keep app-to-database traffic inside DockHosting private networking for safer production deployments.

Automated backups

Daily snapshots help you recover from bad deploys, accidental deletes, and broken migrations.

Local database tunnels

Debug, inspect, and migrate PostgreSQL from localhost without exposing everything publicly.

Generated credentials

Create a database and get a ready-to-use connection string for your app environment.

Simple resize path

Start small, then increase storage or capacity when the project needs more room.
