Shipped

From this list to the console.

Shipped proposed as Auto Indexing

Index Advisor

Index Advisor reads a managed PostgreSQL databaseโ€™s own workload and recommends indexes to add, with the evidence behind each one, plus unused, duplicate and invalid indexes to review. It is on by default for PostgreSQL databases created since 27 October 2026; an older database turns it on with one restart.

Shipped proposed as Database Job Scheduler

Scheduled start and stop

Every managed database can stop and start on a schedule: pick a preset or your own days and times in the console, in your local time. A three-broker Kafka cluster stops and starts as one and the MCP server sets the same schedules from your editor.

Exploring

Ideas we are still weighing.

Database Storage Downsizing

AWS locks storage at its peak - once autoscaling bumps up your volume, you pay for that size forever. Selfhost.dev can shrink it back transparently, something RDS structurally cannot do.

Cost Monitoring

AWS Cost Anomaly Detection waits up to 24 hours. Selfhost.dev flags active cost anomalies in 5-15 minutes, maps the likely culprit even with incomplete tags and gives your team context to act before the bill compounds.
