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 — 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 — 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 — most extensions install in under 24 hours.

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

Yes — we match your source version exactly (Postgres 14 → 14, 15 → 15). Your app code, your indexes, your stored procedures all carry over unchanged.

For Pakistani workloads, total cost typically lands 25–40% 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 — no support ticket required.
