A managed Postgres built like a precision tool: branches in a second, compute that disappears, recovery to the exact instant, and everything driven by API. Nothing invented — this is what the platform actually does.
No credit card — 3 projects included.
See also pricing and the API reference.
Postgres compute falls asleep on its own after idling and wakes on the first packet. You only pay for the seconds that are actually active.
-- compute suspended, resumed on connection $ psql "postgresql://…@db.lampion.cloud/ep-abc.postgres" SSL connection (protocol: TLSv1.3) -- you pay nothing while suspended mydb=> SELECT now(); 2026-08-04 10:42:01.234+00
Copy-on-write: a branch only stores its delta. Create one to test a migration, fill it with fixtures, throw it away afterwards.
# copy-on-write fork, isolated, in ~0.4s $ lampion branches create abc123 staging --parent abc123 → br-staging · ep-staging · 0.4s # delete it when you are done $ lampion branches delete abc123 stg-tid
A full SQL editor, real-time observability and regression detection — all without ever leaving the browser.
-- Explain Analyze in one click from the editor mydb=> EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM users WHERE email ILIKE '%@corp.com'; Seq Scan on users Filter: (email ~~* '%@corp.com'::text) Planning Time: 0.08 ms Execution Time: 0.03 ms
Point-in-time recovery by LSN, restore to a fresh branch without touching production, and a standard SQL export so you can leave whenever you want.
# capture a restore point (LSN) $ lampion backups create abc123 main before-migration → bk-42 · lsn 0/15A2C08 # restore into a fresh branch $ lampion backups restore abc123 bk-42 → branch restored-bk-42 · ep-new
Cloud-to-cloud migration has its own page — see how it works
Every connection is authenticated, PostgreSQL traffic runs over TLS, and every project gets its own secrets.
# sslmode=require — TLS 1.3 negotiated, 1.2 minimum $ psql "postgresql://…@db.lampion.cloud/…?sslmode=require" SSL connection (TLSv1.3, cipher: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384) # API: Bearer token scoped per organization $ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer lmp_live_…" \ api.lampion.cloud/v1/projects
Today, the whole data plane (compute, K8s, S3) runs on Scaleway, in Paris — a single console. No lock-in: the infrastructure is described as multi-provider Terraform, and portability to a second sovereign French cloud is on the roadmap.
