How to Edit Production PostgreSQL Data Without Sweating: Staged Commits in SQL Studio

A hand-written UPDATE against production is the scariest query you will run all week. This walkthrough shows how SQL Studio's staged editing model takes the fear out of it: read-only by default, pending changes you can review, one atomic commit, explicit NULL vs DEFAULT, typed confirmation for drops, and an audit log of everything.

Do You Still Need a Desktop Database Client? SQL Studio vs TablePlus, pgAdmin and DBeaver

TablePlus, pgAdmin and DBeaver are excellent tools — but for a managed PostgreSQL database, a desktop client means installing software, copying credentials around, and paying per seat for the polished options.

Tired of Docker Hub Rate Limits? Run Your Own Container Registry for €3.99/month

Price adjustment effective July 1, 2026

Sustained cost pressure across components, power, and leased infrastructure has reached the point where we can no longer hold our current prices. The complete list of changes is below.
