We are happy to announce ubi, Ubicloud’s thin command line interface tool. The Thin CLIent approach allows you to use new features without updating your CLI installation, in a much smaller package in a secure way.
Available for Linux, Mac, Windows. MacOS users can install with:
Managed PostgreSQL
Read Replicas
Create as many read replicas for your PostgreSQL databases to balance read workloads. Promote them to standalone writable instances at any time.
Manage your maintenance window
Select the 2-hour time window that is the least disruptive for your database where maintenance operations can be performed.
High availability is now datacenter-aware
Standbys for high availability mode are now placed in different data centers in the eu-central-h1 region for improved durability.
Multiple PGBouncer instances for faster transactions
Postgres instances are deployed with multiple pgbouncer instances, depending on the instance size, for improved parallelism in transactional workloads.
PostgreSQL 17 is the default
Now Ubicloud Postgres defaults to PostgreSQL 17, with the option to select PostgreSQL 16.
