I’m building a PostgreSQL DBaaS hosted in Spain 🇪🇸

Early beta, very hands-on.
Opening 100 free beta slots for developers who want fast EU Postgres and are willing to give feedback.

Reply or DM if interested.

Added billing details to show monthly costs per cluster.

[Dimitris Kapanidis @dkapanidis]

Now you can add replicas for HA independent of the plan you choose for the database.

[Dimitris Kapanidis @dkapanidis]

You can use the coupon as first-time user, or existing one.

If you go to Billing you can see on remaining balance the credit added. In order to use the credit you need to add a payment method to enable non-free plans.

[Dimitris Kapanidis @dkapanidis]

Use the following link to get a 100€ credit on RayDB to run your #postgres databases.

Limited to the first 10 people that will redeem it.

On my quest to investigate how to orchestrate between multiple repos, I thought Claude Agent Teams would solve this, but they seem to work only on single-repo, spawned teams are inside same context. So it doesn't seem to solve this problem.

Here is the guide how I built an MCP server for https://t.co/7Xj2dp4AcW to enable Claude to connect and manage databases securely.

Just finished building the MCP server for https://t.co/7Xj2dp4AcW and its coming along really well.

Here is a quick demo, tomorrow I will provide a step-by-step guide how I created it.

While with 4.5 it was more task oriented, quick and iterative, 4.6 seems to be more goal oriented, doing planning then executing. Maybe I just need to adjust the effort to lower settings to be more what I want in this case.

Goodbye nginx ingress, it served well but now it's time to move to a Gateway https://t.co/fPHaLwr9zs.

[Dimitris Kapanidis @dkapanidis]

I tested Opus 4.6 with this task, I was not impressed tbh, I really preferred the way 4.5 worked better.

It tried to one-shot the entire workflow, instead of step-by-step migration, I had to hand-hold it all the way. It used too much planning phase and consumed my daily quota.

[Dimitris Kapanidis @dkapanidis]

@theo Claimed!

[Dimitris Kapanidis @dkapanidis]

The certificate rotation is done without any downtime and with same CA certificate, so there is no disruption on production.

The same CA certificate is used for all postgres clusters under same team, and its isolated from other teams.

[Dimitris Kapanidis @dkapanidis]

Today I added support for full CA certificates to enable "sslmode=verify-full" to our postgres clusters.

The certificates are generated with cert-manager and are valid for 90 days, while they rotate at 2/3 of their lifecycle (60 days before expiry)

The test cluster is already destroyed before uploading the video in case you try to re-use the credentials :P I know I leaked them.

[Dimitris Kapanidis @dkapanidis]

Just implemented auto-resize of the storage for our #postgres clusters.
When reaching 80% the storage is resized up to the max storage configured without any downtimes. Cluster plans include initial storage with storage addon for further GBs.
