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 Cloud SQL, instead.

Production instances of the Science Platform use Cloud SQL or a local external PostgreSQL server for the Gafaelfawr token database instead of this service.
