Run production-grade PostgreSQL in Kubernetes without all the manual ops or ticket queues.
a8s PostgreSQL brings a developer-friendly, operations-safe PostgreSQL experience to Kubernetes. Unlike traditional DBaaS products that rely on VM-based infrastructure, a8s PostgreSQL runs natively in Kubernetes pods. This means no context switching, no external dependencies, and no compromise on control.
Built with declarative APIs, GitOps compatibility, and platform automation in mind, a8s PostgreSQL is ideal for teams that want to treat data infrastructure like application infrastructure: versioned, repeatable, and observable.
Manage database instances like any other Kubernetes object. All changes can be version controlled, peer-reviewed, and rolled back.
Empower your developers to provision, bind, and scale PostgreSQL instances on demand—without waiting on platform teams.
Run fully managed PostgreSQL inside your own Kubernetes clusters—no vendor lock-in or forced multi-cloud exposure.
a8s PostgreSQL handles backups, failover, replication, and observability out of the box—freeing operators to focus on higher-order work.
Share infrastructure between apps and databases to reduce cloud spend and simplify your environment.
Designed to work with popular Kubernetes tools to easily plug into your existing CI/CD, monitoring, and GitOps workflows.
Secure, encrypted, and compressed backups with seamless recovery via the Kubernetes API.
Easily bind applications to database instances using standard Kubernetes patterns.
Built-in failover and replica orchestration with topology awareness for rack/zone resilience.
Instant visibility into health, usage, and potential issues that integrates cleanly with existing monitoring stacks.
Kubernetes-native by design (pods, not VMs)
Ideal for platform engineering teams building self-service PaaS-like experiences
Operates under your control—private infrastructure, public cloud, or hybrid
Inspired by the power and popularity of k8s, built by the team behind a9s Data Services

If you’re managing both VMs and Kubernetes, check out our open-source project Klutch to manage VM-based data services as if they were local to Kubernetes. a8s PostgreSQL plugs right in for a unified control plane for hybrid environments.
