# Managed PostgreSQL Service
PostgreSQL is currently the leading choice among relational databases, known for its robust features and performance.
The Managed PostgreSQL Service takes advantage of platform-side implementation to provide a self-healing replicated cluster.
This cluster is efficiently managed using the highly acclaimed CloudNativePG operator, which has gained popularity within the community.
## Deployment Details
This managed service is controlled by the CloudNativePG operator, ensuring efficient management and seamless operation.

## Operations
### How to enable backups
To back up a PostgreSQL application, an external S3-compatible storage is required.
To start regular backups, update the application, setting `backup.enabled` to `true`, and fill in the path and credentials to an `backup.*`:
```yaml
## @param backup.enabled Enable regular backups
## @param backup.schedule Cron schedule for automated backups
## @param backup.retentionPolicy Retention policy
## @param backup.destinationPath Path to store the backup (i.e. s3://bucket/path/to/folder)
## @param backup.endpointURL S3 Endpoint used to upload data to the cloud
## @param backup.s3AccessKey Access key for S3, used for authentication
## @param backup.s3SecretKey Secret key for S3, used for authentication
backup:
enabled: false
retentionPolicy: 30d
destinationPath: s3://bucket/path/to/folder/
endpointURL: http://minio-gateway-service:9000
schedule: "0 2 * * * *"
s3AccessKey: oobaiRus9pah8PhohL1ThaeTa4UVa7gu
s3SecretKey: ju3eum4dekeich9ahM1te8waeGai0oog
```
### How to recover a backup
CloudNativePG supports point-in-time-recovery.
Recovering a backup is done by creating a new database instance and restoring the data in it.
Create a new PostgreSQL application with a different name, but identical configuration.
Set `bootstrap.enabled` to `true` and fill in the name of the database instance to recover from and the recovery time:
```yaml
## @param bootstrap.enabled Restore database cluster from a backup
## @param bootstrap.recoveryTime Timestamp (PITR) up to which recovery will proceed, expressed in RFC 3339 format. If left empty, will restore latest
## @param bootstrap.oldName Name of database cluster before deleting
##
bootstrap:
enabled: false
recoveryTime: "" # leave empty for latest or exact timestamp; example: 2020-11-26 15:22:00.00000+00
oldName: "<previous-postgres-instance>"
```
