Heroku Postgres is a managed PostgreSQL database service that offers simple provisioning, high availability, automated backups, fork/clone, and performance insights integrated into the Heroku app platform. It supports data types, extensions, and scale tiers.

Heroku Postgres dashboards and API access are slow/unreliable from China. Cross-border DB connections introduce latency and may be blocked. Developers targeting China should self-host PostgreSQL on Chinese cloud providers or use managed services like TencentDB for PostgreSQL or Alibaba ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL. For global apps, a hybrid architecture is recommended with region-aware database routing.

The information regarding service availability in China is provided for general reference purposes only. Due to the dynamic nature of network conditions and regulatory environments, the actual accessibility of these services may vary over time and by location. Users are advised to verify the current status independently.
