About Autobase
Autobase is an internal database platform for PostgreSQL that brings the managed database experience of a cloud DBaaS onto infrastructure you control. You build and operate production-grade PostgreSQL clusters with high availability, and the tool aims to simplify deployment, reduce operating costs and make database management approachable even for teams without deep database expertise.
It automates deployment, failover, backups, restore, upgrades and scaling, with Patroni topics indicating a proven high-availability foundation, and offers a web interface written in TypeScript on top of automation scripts. The documentation includes an architecture overview. It is the successor to what was previously a PostgreSQL cluster automation project.
Autobase is MIT-licensed and self-hosted, running on your own servers, virtual machines or cloud accounts. It suits platform teams and companies that want managed-database convenience without paying for a hosted service, and that are ready to operate the underlying machines.
