The Service

You write the SQL. We run everything underneath.

QCloud Managed PostgreSQL delivers production-grade Postgres on infrastructure tuned for OLTP, analytics, and modern AI workloads. Provision a primary, attach read replicas, enable streaming replication to a standby in another Pakistan region, and turn on point-in-time recovery โ€” all from one console, in under 10 minutes.

You bring your schema, your queries, your indexes. We handle compute, storage, replication, failover, backups, patching, and 24/7 observability โ€” staffed by certified Postgres DBAs based inside Pakistan.

The Difference

Why teams move off RDS, and off self-managed, onto QCloud.

Same Postgres engine. Different cost, different latency, different team behind it.

Before You Migrate

Everything DBAs ask before they pick QCloud.

Pick a category on the left. Real answers, no marketing fluff.

Postgres 14, 15, 16, 17 are GA. Postgres 13 and 12 supported under Extended Support for in-flight migration windows on request.

Yes. We pre-install 25+ extensions including pgvector, PostGIS, TimescaleDB, pg_cron, pgaudit. Need another (e.g. citus, pg_partman, hypopg)? Open a ticket โ€” most extensions install in under 24 hours.

Logical replication (native or via pglogical) is the standard path โ€” under 30 minutes downtime. We run a structured assessment first, then execute the cutover with you. Typical 4โ€“8 weeks for moderate workloads.

Yes โ€” we match your source version exactly (Postgres 14 โ†’ 14, 15 โ†’ 15). Your app code, your indexes, your stored procedures all carry over unchanged.

For Pakistani workloads, total cost typically lands 25โ€“40% lower than RDS once egress, support, and USD FX exposure are factored in. We're billed end-to-end.

Daily backups are included up to your DB size. Extra read replicas billed at ~14/hr each. No egress fees within QCloud. Cross-cloud egress billed at a flat rate/GB.

Yes. AES-256 TDE at rest with HSM-backed keys (FIPS 140-2 Level 3, located inside Pakistan), TLS 1.3 in transit, and optional column-level encryption via pgcrypto. Keys never leave Pakistan.

Yes. All Postgres clusters run inside PTCL Tier-3 / Rated-3 data centers in Pakistan. Audit logs retained 7 years via pgaudit. SBP cyber-hygiene, PECA 2016, and PTA cloud guidelines all mapped.

Certified Postgres DBAs based inside Pakistan. P1 incidents acknowledged in under 15 minutes. Hotline pickup average: under 2 rings. Quarterly performance reviews included on Standard and Enterprise tiers.

99.999% on multi-AZ deployments (streaming standby in second region), 99.99% on single-AZ. Service credits applied automatically โ€” no support ticket required.
