The basics of the DBaaS – PostgreSQL offering
Create and manage your databases via self-service from the Console, the API or your automation tools. Cloud Temple takes care of monitoring, protecting and maintaining them in a secure and operational state: regular checks, log analysis and patches applied during scheduled maintenance windows. Your teams save time on their applications, with capacity provisioning tailored as closely as possible to their needs and billing based on actual usage.
Choose your continuity level, regardless of the compute size (S, M or L):
- Solo: a single instance, with recovery from backup, prioritising simplicity and cost.
- Duo: a primary and an asynchronous replica, with automatic failover to minimise recovery time.
- Synchro: synchronous replication to enhance the protection of confirmed transactions and ensure service continuity.
Our compliance approach
DBaaS – PostgreSQL is hosted on a SecNumCloud-qualified infrastructure that is HDS- and ISO 27001-certified.
The key benefits of our DBaaS – PostgreSQL
A continuous journey
Everything from the console
Select, connect, monitor and manage all from the same console.
Reduced operating costs
The engine is operated for you
Monitoring, maintenance, backups and engine security are included in the service.
A clear budget
Billed by elapsed time
Computing power and system disk space are charged at an hourly rate based on size; data is provisioned separately, and a backup equal to twice that volume is included. The charge is calculated based on elapsed time, including fractions of an hour.
Scalable capacity
Storage adapts to your data
More storage without necessarily having to change the compute size; the impact of changes is announced before you agree.
Solo, Duo or Synchro
Choose the level of continuity appropriate to the criticality of each application, regardless of the compute size.
Backup included
Backup included for up to twice the amount of your allocated data, with the option to restore to a specific point in time within a standard 7-day window.
Key features of Cloud Temple’s DBaaS – PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL engine managed on your behalf
Engine installed, monitored, maintained and protected by Cloud Temple.
Backup and restore
Return to a point in time available within the standard 7-day window.
Backup allowance
2 × all the provisioned data for each instance, including extensions, excluding the system disk.
Application access
Encrypted internet connection, restricted to authorised sources.
Application-level SQL autonomy
Management of schemas, objects and migrations in authorised databases, without superuser privileges.
Stable address
Name and port provided; host changes are handled by the platform.
Integrated monitoring
Health, capacity, protection, operations and consumption in the console.

| DBaaS – PostgreSQL – Solo M – 2 vCPUs – 4 GiB RAM (General Purpose), system disk included | 1 instance | 58,40 € * | 1 hour | |
| DBaaS – PostgreSQL – Solo L – 4 vCPUs – 8 GiB RAM (General Purpose), system disk included | 1 instance | 116,80 € * | 1 hour | |
| DBaaS – PostgreSQL – Storage – Provisioned data | 1 GiB | 0,25 € * | 1 hour | |
| DBaaS – PostgreSQL – Backup – Excess backup beyond 2 × the provisioned data for each instance, after compression | 1 GiB | 0,03 € * | 1 hour |
* Indicative monthly rates based on 730 hours. Hourly billing is calculated on a pro rata basis according to the time elapsed, including fractions of an hour, from the time the instance is ready until its resources are actually released.
Use cases
DBaaS – PostgreSQL is Cloud Temple’s PostgreSQL service: you use the database, whilst Cloud Temple manages and secures the engine.
From the Cloud Temple console, you can choose a size (S, M or L), authorise access for your applications and retrieve ready-to-use connection details. Cloud Temple takes care of monitoring, backups, maintenance and security patches for the engine.
The three tiers differ in terms of how the service resumes following an outage, regardless of the compute size (S, M, L).
Solo: a single instance, with recovery from a backup. Duo: a primary and an asynchronous replica, with automatic failover to reduce recovery time; as replication is asynchronous, the very latest transactions may not have been replicated at the time of a failover. Synchronous: synchronous replication to enhance the protection of committed transactions and ensure business continuity.
The appropriate level depends on the criticality of your application and the acceptable recovery time.
DBaaS – PostgreSQL is hosted in France on an IaaS infrastructure (VM Instances and VPC) that has SecNumCloud certification. The DBaaS service itself does not have SecNumCloud certification in this first version.
Access is based on PostgreSQL authentication, an encrypted connection with server verification, and explicitly authorised application sources.
Backup is included for up to twice the provisioned data volume of each instance, including extensions.
The service aims to restore data to a selected point in time within a standard 7-day window. A baseline backup is supplemented by the operations log, with a target data loss of no more than 5 minutes for sizes M and L.
A restore first creates a new, verified service; whether to replace the active service is up to you.
DBaaS – PostgreSQL is not covered by a commercial SLA at launch, regardless of size.
For sizes M and L, the design objectives are a monthly availability of 99.5 %, recovery within 60 minutes at the latest, and a maximum downtime of 5 minutes. These are indicative targets and are not contractually binding. Size S is intended for acceptance testing and development.
The reversibility of DBaaS – PostgreSQL is based on the standard PostgreSQL export, with no proprietary format imposed.
The export is carried out under the client’s licence. The terms and conditions of export (timeframes, conditions) will be specified before the service is launched commercially.
In the event of cancellation, invoicing continues until the resources are actually released.
