DigitalOcean provides a managed database service called Managed Databases for PostgreSQL, allowing you to easily create and manage PostgreSQL databases in the cloud. With Managed Databases for PostgreSQL, you can create and manage databases using the familiar tools and APIs provided by PostgreSQL without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure or server configuration.
To use Managed Databases for PostgreSQL, you must sign up for a DigitalOcean account and enable the Managed Databases for PostgreSQL service. Once this is done, you can create a new PostgreSQL database using the DigitalOcean Control Panel, the doctl command-line tool, or the DigitalOcean API.
Once your PostgreSQL database is up and running, you can connect to it using the standard PostgreSQL client tools, such as psql or pgAdmin. You can then use these tools to create and manage tables, users, and other database objects, and run SQL queries and perform other tasks with your PostgreSQL database.
In addition to the standard PostgreSQL features, Managed Databases for PostgreSQL also provides several DigitalOcean-specific features and tools. For example, you can use the DigitalOcean Control Panel to manage and monitor your PostgreSQL database, or use the DigitalOcean API to automate and integrate your PostgreSQL database with other DigitalOcean services and tools.
Overall, DigitalOcean’s Managed Databases for PostgreSQL service provides an easy and convenient way to create and manage PostgreSQL databases in the cloud using the familiar tools and APIs provided by PostgreSQL.
