Postgres add-on

To provision a postgres instance, add the addons.postgres: section to the deployment manifest. The add-on deploys a Postgres 14 instance and injects variables with database connection params into the environment of the api and processor squid services.

Variable shadowing

Any of the following variables set globally or for api or processor squid services in the manifest will be overwritten with Cloud-supplied values:

• DB_SSL
• DB_HOST
• DB_PORT
• DB_NAME
• DB_USER
• DB_PASS
• DB_URL

Config options

The addon supports additional PG config options:

Name	Description	Type	Default value	Optional
config.statement_timeout	Max execution time after which any query is forcefully aborted, ms	number	60000	Optional
config. log_min_duration_statement	Log queries executing longer than the given threshold, ms	number	5000	Optional
config. max_pred_locks_per_transaction	See Lock Management	number	64	Optional
config.max_locks_per_transaction	See Lock Management	number	64	Optional

Direct access

SQD Cloud enables direct read access to the deployed PG instances. Go to the "DB access" tab of your squid deployment's card in the Cloud web app to get the PG connection string.

Scaling

The postgres add-on supports storage and compute resource scaling by extending the scale.addons.postgres section of the deploy manifest. The following options are supported

Name	Description	Type	Default value	Optional
storage	Volume size for the postgres container	memory resource units	10G	Optional
profile	Log queries executing longer than the given threshold, ms	small | medium | large	small	Optional

The profile specifications for a postgres service are as follows:

Profile	colocated vCPU (max)	colocated RAM (max)	dedicated vCPU (requested)	dedicated RAM (max)
small	0.2	768Mi	1	2Gi
medium	0.5	1.5Gi	2	4Gi
large	1	3Gi	4	4Gi
