An open-source automated database platform for deploying and managing production-ready, highly available PostgreSQL clusters.
Autobase is an open-source automated database platform designed for PostgreSQL. It allows users to deploy, manage, and operate production-ready, highly available PostgreSQL clusters on their own infrastructure. It solves the problem of complex and costly database management by providing a self-hosted alternative to cloud-managed database services.
DevOps engineers, system administrators, and development teams who need to run and manage PostgreSQL databases in production without relying on proprietary cloud DBaaS offerings.
Developers choose Autobase because it offers a fully open-source, self-hosted DBaaS solution that reduces vendor lock-in and operational costs while providing automation for critical database tasks like deployment, failover, backups, and scaling.
Automated database platform for PostgreSQL® - Your own DBaaS.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Automates deployment, failover, backups, and scaling via web console, CLI, or GitOps, reducing manual database operations as highlighted in the README's key features.
Supports multiple Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS Stream, etc.) and PostgreSQL versions 10 through 18, with daily automated testing for compatibility as shown in the README tables.
Integrates etcd and Consul for cluster coordination, ensuring reliable failover and management in production environments, per the architecture description.
Provides an open-source alternative to commercial DBaaS, reducing operational costs and vendor lock-in, aligning with the project's philosophy of flexibility and efficiency.
Command-line deployment requires Ansible expertise and inventory configuration, which the README notes is for advanced users and can be complex without automation experience.
Relies on etcd and Consul for cluster management, adding resource consumption and potential maintenance burdens beyond core PostgreSQL operations.
Exclusively designed for PostgreSQL, making it unsuitable for projects that use or plan to use other database systems, as admitted in the README's focus.
