QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Does the Seemi PostgreSQL estimate include high availability?+
No. The public comparison reflects a single PostgreSQL component. Multi-node replication or enterprise HA must be designed and priced separately.
Does Seemi PostgreSQL support point-in-time recovery?+
Eligible configurations use pgBackRest base backups and continuous WAL archiving. Successful PITR depends on valid backups, complete WAL, repository availability, and retention.
Why can managed PostgreSQL prices differ so much?+
Providers make different choices around compute isolation, storage, redundancy, support, network services, control-plane features, discounts, and commercial scale. Compare total architecture, not only CPU count.
Can Seemi migrate an Azure PostgreSQL database?+
Seemi can scope a migration using logical export and import or another suitable tested path, including assessment, validation, rollback planning, cutover, and post-migration support where agreed.
