AlloyDB is a fully managed database service with cloud-scale architecture and industry-leading performance, availability, and scale. It automates administrative tasks such as backups, replication, patching, and capacity management, and uses adaptive algorithms and machine learning for PostgreSQL vacuum management, storage management, memory management, data tiering, and analytics acceleration, so you can focus on building your applications.

PostgreSQL has emerged in recent years as a leading alternative to legacy, proprietary databases because of its rich functionality, ecosystem extensions, and enterprise readiness. AlloyDB is fully compatible with PostgreSQL, providing flexibility and true portability for your workloads. It’s easy to migrate existing workloads and bring your existing PostgreSQL skills over.

Scale AlloyDB instances up and down to support almost any workload and deploy up to 20 read replicas for read scalability. You can also create secondary clusters in different regions for disaster recovery, have them continuously replicated from the primary region, and promote them in case of an outage. Regional replicas deliver more than 25x lower replication lag than standard PostgreSQL for high throughput transactional workloads. They also improve read performance by bringing data closer to your users.

Eliminate your dependency on high-cost, proprietary databases, and take advantage of transparent and predictable pricing with no proprietary licensing or opaque I/O charges. Storage is automatically managed and you're only charged for what you use, with no additional storage costs for read replicas. An ultra-fast cache, automatically provisioned in addition to instance memory, allows you to maximize the price-performance ratio. Committed use discounts offer additional savings for one to three year commitments. And AlloyDB Omni offers another simple and affordable deployment option.

Protect your business from data loss with point-in-time recovery to any point within your defined retention window. Restore the database to a specific date and time for development, testing, and auditing purposes, or recover your production database from user or application errors. You no longer need expensive hardware and software solutions to achieve enterprise-level data protection.
