# Introduction

> Managed PostgreSQL services you can create, connect to and operate from one dashboard

SabaothCloud runs managed PostgreSQL for you. You create a service in a couple of minutes, connect your application, and the platform handles provisioning, backups, point-in-time recovery, connection pooling and upgrades to the resources behind it.
