How-Tos

How-to guides for managing PostgreSQL clusters using the DCD.

Important:

• Effective September 15, 2026, PostgreSQL v1 functionality will be fully deactivated in both the DCD and API. Use PostgreSQL v2 to create and manage clusters using the DCD or the API.
• Cluster creation using PostgreSQL v1 API is deprecated since July 15, 2026. In the DCD, only limited operations are supported on legacy (existing v1) clusters.
• Existing PostgreSQL v1 clusters will be automatically migrated to the new PostgreSQL v2 infrastructure starting July 29, 2026. No user action is required and we will notify you before the migration. If you prefer to migrate earlier, see Manual migration.

What can you do with the PostgreSQL v2 engine in the DCD?

With the PostgreSQL v2 engine in the DCD, you can:

• Create a PostgreSQL v2 cluster. Cluster creation is no longer supported in v1.
• View the list of clusters, a cluster's details, and its metrics.
• Update cluster properties, configuration, resources, and maintenance settings.
• Clone an existing cluster.
• Restore a cluster from a backup to a specific point in time.
• Delete a cluster that is no longer required.
