New features in ElephantSQL 2017

You have the option to get a High Availability (HA) plan. A database on an HA plan will be created with a follower and has automatic failover in the face of hardware or software failure.Read more!

Streaming replication across clouds

We have added support for streaming replication across clouds! You can now fork your GCE instance into an AWS instance, or set up a Softlayer leader with an Azure follower.Read more!

Point in time restore

In addition to resetting and restoring to pg_dump backups, you can now restore your instance to any point in time. This is done by resetting to our most recent base backup before the chosen time and then replaying the WAL.Read more!
