Relay Documentation
The database control plane and security layer — provision managed databases, and govern access to the databases you already run.
Relay is a database control plane and security layer. It does two things:
- Managed databases — provision and operate PostgreSQL clusters, with backups, metrics, and lifecycle management.
- Access & governance — put a security layer in front of the databases you already run: masking, a query firewall, access grants, and a full audit trail, brokered by Relay agents.
