PhoenixDB Documentation
PhoenixDB is an always-on PostgreSQL hosting platform designed for developers who want reliable databases without the complexity of serverless pricing and cold starts.
Why PhoenixDB?
Unlike serverless Postgres providers that bill per compute-hour and put databases to sleep, PhoenixDB keeps your databases always running at a predictable monthly price. No cold starts, no surprise bills, no complexity.
Key Features
Always-On PostgreSQL
Your databases never sleep. No cold starts, no wake-up delays. Consistent low latency 24/7.
Predictable Flat Pricing
No compute-hour billing, no CU meters. Simple monthly pricing you can budget for.
Isolated Docker Containers
Each database runs in its own secure container. Full isolation, no noisy neighbors.
SSL by Default
All connections encrypted with wildcard Let's Encrypt certificates. Security built-in.
