postgres — In-cluster SQL store#
The postgres
service is a very small PostgreSQL installation to provide relational storage for applications and environments where data loss is acceptable.
Two intended purposes for this service are:
The JupyterHub user session database
Backing store for Gafaelfawr’s authentication tokens
It may also be used by other applications, such as exposurelog
and narrativelog
.
Important
Do not use this service for important data. Use a managed relational database, such as Google CloudSQL, instead.
Production instances of the Science Platform use CloudSQL or a local external PostgreSQL server for the Gafaelfawr token database instead of this service.
