Cloud Managed
NeuralDB Cloud is the fully managed version of NeuralDB. It handles provisioning, patching, backups, monitoring, and scaling — so you can focus on building your application rather than managing database infrastructure.
Getting Started
1. Create an Account
Sign up at cloud.neuraldb.io. You can authenticate with Google, GitHub, or an email address.
2. Create a Cluster
Click New Cluster and configure:
- Region: choose the cloud region closest to your application servers
- Tier: select based on your workload requirements (see tier comparison below)
- Storage: initial storage allocation (can be scaled later)
- High Availability: enable for production workloads
3. Connect
Once the cluster is provisioned (typically under 3 minutes), your connection string appears in the dashboard:
postgresql://neuraldb:[password]@[cluster-id].cloud.neuraldb.io:5432/[database]?sslmode=require
Use this with any PostgreSQL-compatible driver or psql:
psql "postgresql://neuraldb:mypassword@abc123.cloud.neuraldb.io:5432/mydb?sslmode=require"
Available Regions
NeuralDB Cloud is available in the following regions:
| Region | Cloud Provider | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| us-east-1 (N. Virginia) | AWS | GA |
| us-west-2 (Oregon) | AWS | GA |
| eu-west-1 (Ireland) | AWS | GA |
| eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) | AWS | GA |
| ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo) | AWS | GA |
| ap-southeast-1 (Singapore) | AWS | GA |
| us-central1 (Iowa) | GCP | Beta |
| europe-west4 (Netherlands) | GCP | Beta |
| eastus (Virginia) | Azure | Beta |
Multi-region replication (primary in one region, read replicas in others) is available on Business and Enterprise tiers.
Pricing Tiers

Connecting from Your Application
Connection Pooling
NeuralDB Cloud includes PgBouncer-based connection pooling. Use the pooler endpoint for serverless and short-lived connections:
postgresql://neuraldb:[password]@[cluster-id]-pooler.cloud.neuraldb.io:5432/[database]
| Connection type | Endpoint suffix | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| Direct | (none) | Long-lived connections, COPY operations |
| Transaction pooling | -pooler |
Serverless, short-lived connections |
| Session pooling | -session-pooler |
Prepared statements |
IP Allow-listing
Restrict access to specific IP ranges in the Security tab of your cluster dashboard. Enter your application servers' CIDR ranges (e.g., 10.0.0.0/8 for private VPC, or specific public IPs).
SSL/TLS
All connections require TLS. Download the cluster CA certificate from the dashboard and verify it in your connection string:
sslmode=verify-full&sslrootcert=/path/to/ca.pem
Monitoring and Alerting
NeuralDB Cloud includes a built-in monitoring dashboard with:
- Query throughput and latency percentiles (p50, p95, p99)
- Connection count
- Storage usage
- Vector index size
- Replication lag
Configure alerts for:
- Storage > 80% full
- Average query latency > 500ms
- Replication lag > 30s
- Failed connections
Metrics are also available via the NeuralDB Cloud API for ingestion into your own monitoring stack (Datadog, Grafana Cloud, New Relic).
Branching (Database Branches)
NeuralDB Cloud supports branching — create an instant copy-on-write clone of your production database for development, testing, or migrations:
neuraldb-cloud branch create staging --from production
Branches share storage pages with the parent until they diverge (copy-on-write). A branch of a 100 GB database costs storage only for the pages that change.
