PostgreSQL 18 is now available

PostgreSQL 18 — with asynchronous I/O via io_uring, virtual generated columns, and native OAuth support — is now the default version when creating a new PostgreSQL instance.

Version 2.6.1FeatureDatabases

What's changed

  • PostgreSQL 18 (postgres:18-alpine) selectable as the default version on the database create page
  • New "PostgreSQL 18 General Purpose" parameter group enables asynchronous I/O (io_method=io_uring, io_workers=3) for lower-latency disk operations
  • Virtual generated columns and other PostgreSQL 18 features available out of the box
  • Existing PostgreSQL 17 / 16 / 15 instances continue to run on their selected version; choose PostgreSQL 18 when creating a new instance
  • Parameter groups are now version-scoped — a PostgreSQL 17 system parameter group cannot be attached to a PostgreSQL 18 instance, and the dropdown filters to compatible groups automatically. Custom parameter groups remain compatible across versions.
