Tembo Update #2
You are recieving this email because you either joined the Tembo mailing list or waitlist (formerly CoreDB), or you have signed up for an account. Feel free to unsubscribe if you're not interested in what we're building :)
We are hard at work building Tembo Cloud, our managed Postgres service. Sign in below to see our progress yourself :)
If you deploy a (free) Postgres instance in Tembo Cloud, you'll get grandfathered pricing (when we start charging).
What's new in Tembo Cloud?
API v1 — we released v1 of the Tembo Cloud API. All the functionality of our UI is available, plus more. It is also the foundation for our other interfaces (upcoming CLI and newly-released Terraform Provider).
Instance Resizing — we now support the ability to change the CPU, memory, and storage of your instance. You can easily scale up and scale down the CPU and Memory of and instance as needed, and increase storage as the database grows, without having to create a new deployment and migrate data.
Improved Monitoring — We added more dahsboards to the "Instance details page that including 'longest transaction time', 'transactione per second' and 'connection count' to name a few.
Terraform Provider — The Tembo Terraform Provider is now published to the Terraform Registry and supports provisioning instances on Tembo Cloud.
Read-only connection string — we now provide all users with several roles out of the box, including a role that has read-only access.
Still no waitlist! — Feel free to share https://cloud.tembo.io with anyone you think may want to join.
Trunk News
We made performance improvements to Trunk (our Postgres extension registry), speeding up extension management in Tembo Cloud 30x.
We enriched extension usage and use case examples. These will eventually be used as test cases for the
trunk test
feature. Follow

for all Trunk updates.
Our recent blog posts
Enter the Matrix: The 4 kinds of Postgres Extensions - Our founding engineer, Steven, goes over the different kinds of Postgres extensions, how they are built and installed. This blog also sheds light into why we decided to build Trunk.
Optimizing Postgres's Autovacuum for High-Churn Tables - Adam, also a founding engineer at Tembo, shows us detailed experiments to optimize the configuration of Autovacuum settings for Postgres. Read Adam's insight into how Postgres works under the covers.
ClerkFDW - at Tembo we believe that Postgres can serve all your data needs. With that in mind, we integrated our Postgres-based analytics database with Clerk, our user management solution. See what is a Postgres Foreign Data Wrapper, and how you can use it to reach data all across your organization.
Anatomy of a Postgres extension written in Rust: pgmq - disects the codebase of pgmq, our message queue extension for Postgres. If you would like to explore building your own extension, you should probably start here.
Postgres Guides - To help the community to get started in their Postgres journey, we are building a repository of task-oriented guides. Check out our first batch of guides, give us feedback or contribute.
Postgres 16 is out! — we are excited about the newest major version of Postgres and hard at work to add support. Read more about what we find exciting in Postgres 16 and the road to 17.
