One global database
A globally distributed proxy for low-latency queries. Like Cloudflare Hyperdrive, but cloud agnostic.

Everything your database needs
Drop in a connection string and get production-grade infrastructure instantly. Read replicas, custom domains, query insights, and more included out of the box.
Query Caching
Opt-in stale-while-revalidate caching. Enable per query from Cache Rules. Results served locally from the nearest region.
Connection Pooling
Built-in connection pooling with session, transaction, and statement modes. Thousands of application connections share a small pool of database connections.
Zero Code Changes
Drop-in replacement connection string. Every PostgreSQL driver and ORM works unmodified. No SDK required.
Read Replicas
Route read queries to replicas automatically. Round-robin load balancing across replicas with writes going to the primary.
Performance
Faster reads, wherever your users are.
First-query latency (TLS connect + p50 query) measured from serverless functions. MISS benefits from connection pooling; HIT serves from the edge cache without touching the database.

Get Started
How it works
Four steps to globally distributed PostgreSQL. No code changes, no infrastructure to manage.
Add your database
Paste your PostgreSQL connection string into the dashboard. PgBeam gives you a proxy URL that drops into your existing code with zero changes.
GeoDNS routes to nearest region
When your app connects, GeoDNS resolves to the closest of 6 global regions. TLS/SNI extracts the project ID automatically - no extra config needed.
Routing to N. Virginia
Private backbone to your origin
TLS is terminated at the edge so your app gets fast handshakes. Connections between regions and your origin stay open over private VPC peering with persistent connection pools.
Optional query caching
Enable query caching per-project to serve reads from the edge in microseconds. Writes always go straight to your origin. Off by default, opt in when you're ready.
