Oracle’s innovative managed PostgreSQL service, OCI Database with PostgreSQL, combines cutting-edge open source technology with the robustness and speed of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Oracle harnesses the strengths of both to offer higher performance with OCI Database Optimized Storage.
Oracle is the only cloud provider that runs entirely on its own cloud (infrastructure, database, and applications cloud).

Price/performance ratio
60% less expensive1 than Amazon Aurora and up to three times the performance2 of a standard PostgreSQL deployment thanks to its unique Database Optimized Storage.
Versatile and extensible
Features a unique combination of RDBMS and non-relational operations as well as extensions that can turn it into a geospatial database, a time series database, or even a vector database for generative AI.
Fully managed
Streamlines database scaling and maintenance, offering easy setup and automated management in a simplified, efficient service.
1. Price comparison based on 2 VCPUs having comparable performance to 1 OCPU. AWS pricing data sourced from AWS US East Region price list as of October 23, 2023. Comparison based on available OCI shapes equivalent to AWS shapes, with a storage capacity of 500 GB and a VPU setting of 50.
2. Performance comparison between same configurations for OCI Database with PostgreSQL and unmanaged standard PostgreSQL on OCI. Architecture is based in mixed workload on a primary using 6 Nodes with 16 OCPU, 256GB RAM and VM.Standard.E4.Flex shape and PostgreSQL version: 14.9.
OCI Database with PostgreSQL is half the price of Amazon Aurora and Google AlloyDB.

“OCI provided us with a comprehensive suite of managed open source services—Oracle Kubernetes Engine, OCI Database with PostgreSQL, and OCI Cache—and also offered a clear roadmap and extensive support. The standout factor was OCI's cost efficiency, being less than half the cost. But our collaboration with OCI demonstrates a partnership that extends beyond technology, highlighting their support and commitment to our project's goals.”
OCI Database with PostgreSQL is a top-tier managed service that frees up your team from routine tasks, such as patching and backups. Its standout feature is OCI Database Optimized Storage, which boosts system resilience and performance. Additionally, this architecture allows for independent scalability of compute and storage. OCI Database with PostgreSQL also provides enhanced data security with end-to-end encryption.
Watch Chief Technical Architect Pradeep Vincent walk through the OCI Database with PostgreSQL cloud architecture and how it brings high performance, zero RPO, and efficiency to enterprise workloads.
With a history of over 35 years, PostgreSQL has developed a strong following in the open source community, being used for a wide variety of applications. As OCI continues its growth, our customers are asking us to support PostgreSQL. We are happy to announce the General Availability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Database with PostgreSQL version 14.9. This addition complements our existing lineup of open-source offerings on OCI, joining other services including OCI Cache, OCI Search with OpenSearch, and MySQL HeatWave.
