Running Postgres yourself means patching it, guarding the port and rotating passwords, or leaving your data on an app volume one bad redeploy from trouble.

TL;DR

What you get: a PostgreSQL 18 database that Hubfly space runs for you, with TLS on every connection, an IP allowlist, pgvector ready to install, and a connection string written straight into your app.

Who it's for: side projects, small SaaS apps and AI features that need Postgres but not a database admin.

Time needed: about 10 minutes. The database itself is ready in about a minute and a half.

Cost: about $2.02 a month for the smallest size. You can stop it and pay about $0.11 a month for storage.

In this guide you'll create a managed PostgreSQL database on Hubfly space, add vector search, lock it to your network and connect an app without copying a password anywhere.…
