A deployment canvas — services linked by DATABASE_URL to a managed, ready Postgres instance

Deployment and managed Postgres: available in private beta

How deployment works

Deployment and managed Postgres are available to teams with private-beta access. Connect a repository to deploy a service, then create a database and attach it to that service.

Updated September 8, 2026 to reflect current capabilities. The publication date above is the original announcement date.

Deployment provides build logs, environment variables, and rollback to an earlier release. Managed Postgres belongs to the product and can serve several environments. Attaching a database supplies connection details as secret service variables; redeploy the service to use them.

A deployment rollback does not undo database changes. Managed Postgres has backups and point-in-time recovery, but restoring a backup replaces every database on the instance and makes it unavailable during the restore. Read the database guide before choosing a recovery action.
