Managed Postgres
Lizard Managed Postgres is a managed database service. Run lizard add postgres and a PostgreSQL 18 instance is ready with persistence and TLS on, billed by the second.
One command
lizard add postgres starts PostgreSQL 18 in its own isolated pod. Nothing to install, nothing to patch.
Wired in by reference
Point DATABASE_URL at ${{postgres.DATABASE_URL}} once. Rotated credentials reach every consumer on its next deploy.
Browse and query in the browser
A table browser and SQL editor ship with the dashboard, so you rarely open psql.
Grow storage
Raise the disk with lizard scale as your data grows. No dump, no restore, no downtime.
Put it to work
Try a real app with a connected database: self-host n8n with Managed Postgres. The guide covers setup, credentials and data recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Lizard Managed Postgres is a managed database service: a PostgreSQL instance that Lizard runs, patches, and keeps alive for you. You get a connection string, a SQL editor, and a table browser — there is no server to install or operate.
Run lizard add postgres in your project, or add Postgres from the dashboard. Bind it to a service with lizard secrets set DATABASE_URL='${{postgres.DATABASE_URL}}' --service api, then redeploy.
PostgreSQL 18 by default. Versions 17, 16, and 15 are also available. Memory settings are tuned to the RAM you give the database.
Lizard bills Postgres by the second on measured CPU, memory, and disk — not on the size you allocated. A database sitting idle overnight costs a fraction of a database under load.
Yes. The Lizard dashboard shows the raw host, port, user, password, and database name, so psql, TablePlus, DataGrip, pgAdmin, Prisma, Drizzle, and any other PostgreSQL client connect without changes.
Yes, with one difference: Neon and Supabase host the database on its own. Lizard runs the database next to the app that reads it, in the same project, so one command gives you both and one bill covers both.
