PostgreSQL arrives

We know there are a number of developers who write applications which utilize PostgreSQL. We’re pleased to announce that we released PostgreSQL support on Stackable today.

The best part? PostgreSQL databases are free. Add as many as you like and use some for development, some for testing and of course your production databases which will run screaming fast on Stackable.

We’ve also vastly improved the speed of environment promotion along with some significant increases to the performance of MySQL databases.

For those using Stackable environments to manage versions of their sites, Stackable now offers environment cloning — a single-click way to copy the content of one environment to another. We think this feature makes testing new features for your site many times easier.

You’ll also notice brand-new graphs for each container which give you near real-time as well as historical information about processes running on your container as well as CPU/memory/bandwidth usage. The interface is well beyond what you see in most systems graphing applications though, so log in and take a look.

Of course, there are a number of smaller changes as well. If you have a Stackable account already be sure to check out the new features and to tell a friend. If you don’t have an account, now is the perfect time to create one because Stackable is still free for the first 30 days. Try and see if Stackable is right for you.
