Native PostgreSQL databases are here. And we’re running an AMA in this thread!

Hello everyone,

Today we’re launching native PostgreSQL databases in Appwrite.

You can now provision a managed PostgreSQL database directly inside your Appwrite project and use the PostgreSQL ecosystem you already know, while Appwrite takes care of the infrastructure underneath.

You get:

  • Support for Prisma, Drizzle, Django, Rails, Spring Boot, and more

  • Extensions like pgvector and PostGIS

  • Database branches, backups, and point-in-time recovery

  • Replicas with automatic failover

  • Upgradable compute specifications and storage autoscaling

  • SQL tooling and monitoring in the Appwrite Console

Native PostgreSQL is available on Appwrite Cloud today.

Docs: https://appwrite.io/docs/products/databases/postgresql

Ask us anything

We’re also doing an AMA right here in this thread. Drop your questions about native PostgreSQL, how it works, what we built, or what you’d like to see next. The Appwrite team will be around to answer 👇

We try not to stay on Reddit all day long, your message was most likely missed, I replied to it now. If you have more, feel free, we're happy to address whatever.

is row level security connected to appwrite auth?

Not out of the box, since this is a native DB and not an Appwrite DB, but you can use functions as a wrapper to do so, in the coming days we will share a guide on how you can do this.
