Costs with Typical Managed PostgreSQL
Don’t waste spend on under-
utilized idle capacity
Many companies are waste the majority of their database spend, in environments ranging from their scaled production databases down to their numerous developer and test databases.
The problem:
The issue of under-utilized, idle capacity stems from traditional managed PostgreSQL services forcing companies to over-provision for fear of spikes and consequently paying more. Even then, they are often not over-provisioning enough to handle the worst of the spikes.
Check out the table below to see examples of common scenarios with typical managed PostgreSQL services and their associated costs.

CrystalDB’s AutoDBA turns PostgreSQL into a self-managing database.
Managed PostgreSQL services offered by cloud providers (e.g., AWS RDS) can automate simple administrative tasks, such as taking backups and ensuring smooth failover. However, they cannot perform higher-level tasks such as capacity planning, performance tuning, or providing seamless major version upgrades.
AutoDBA runs wherever PostgreSQL runs: on-prem or in a cloud-managed database service such as Amazon RDS, Amazon RDS Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, Google AlloyDB, or Azure PostgreSQL.
CrystalDB maintains full compatibility with PostgreSQL versions 14 and later, supporting the loading of any extensions to ensure seamless integration with your existing systems.
CrystalDB eliminates multi-tenancy pain points by providing secure, isolated deployments that unify observability and control. Automation features handle routine management tasks, allowing SaaS providers to focus on delivering their core services.
CrystalDB automates routine database administration tasks, such as configuration, scaling, and maintenance. AutoDBA optimizes performance and ensures reliability without the need for manual intervention.
An open-source version of AutoDBA is coming soon. AutoDBA is currently designed to work seamlessly with PostgreSQL, an open-source database system.
The philosophy behind CrystalDB is to provide a fully automated, self-managing database solution that frees users from the complexities of database administration, allowing them to focus on innovation and growth.
