Hosting Databases in general and PostgreSQL in particular as a managed service is getting more and more common. The main offerings are Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL and Microsoft Azure Postgres. They all provide a managed environment, handling backups (and optionally HighAvailability) for their customers. On the flip-side, the customer no longer has Superuser-access to their Postgres instances which makes some things more difficult. This talk will present the similarities and differences between the managed Postgres offerings from Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL and Microsoft Azure. It will also try to present a quantitative look at their patching cycle and how long it takes for new major versions to be supported. Speaker: Michael Banck – credativ GmbH
