        What is Heroku Postgres?

        Heroku Postgres provides a SQL database-as-a-service that lets you focus on building your application instead of messing around with database management.

        What is PaaS DB PostgreSQL?

        A simple product to get an operational database without any pain about server management, security settings and upgrading. We provide resources to instanciate your database (PostgreSQL 9.4). Our goal is to propose this service with an hourly billing.

          What are some alternatives to ElephantSQL, Heroku Postgres, and PaaS DB PostgreSQL?
          Heroku
          Heroku is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. Heroku lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.
          Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL
          Amazon RDS manages complex and time-consuming administrative tasks such as PostgreSQL software installation and upgrades, storage management, replication for high availability and back-ups for disaster recovery. With just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, you can deploy a PostgreSQL database with automatically configured database parameters for optimal performance. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database instances can be provisioned with either standard storage or Provisioned IOPS storage. Once provisioned, you can scale from 10GB to 3TB of storage and from 1,000 IOPS to 30,000 IOPS.
          Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL
          With Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, you can spend less time on your database operations and more time on your applications.
          Azure Database for PostgreSQL
          Azure Database for PostgreSQL provides a managed database service for app development and deployment that allows you to stand up a PostgreSQL database in minutes and scale on the fly – on the cloud you trust most.
          Neon Database
          It is a fully managed serverless PostgreSQL. Neon separates storage and compute to offer modern developer features such as serverless, branching, bottomless storage, and more.
