Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using Pulumi and need to manage PostgreSQL resources as code. The provider is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and integrates cleanly with Pulumi's workflow. Install only if you have Pulumi CLI set up and a PostgreSQL server you can connect to.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Pulumi CLI to be installed first and a running PostgreSQL server with network access configured via environment variables or Pulumi config (PGHOST, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, etc.).
- Low install friction; a pure Python wheel with four lightweight runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained as of 2026-08-14 with recent releases.

What it is and what it does
pulumi-postgresql is a Pulumi resource provider that lets you define PostgreSQL infrastructure—databases, users, roles, permissions, and other objects—using Python code instead of manual SQL or imperative scripts. It integrates with Pulumi's state management and deployment workflow, so you can version-control your database schema and apply changes consistently across environments.
The provider connects to a PostgreSQL server using standard connection parameters (host, port, username, password) supplied via environment variables or Pulumi configuration. It supports SSL connections, connection pooling, and superuser-level operations. You write Python code to declare the resources you want, and Pulumi handles creating, updating, and destroying them on your PostgreSQL instance.
Use it for
- Define and version-control database schemas and user permissions as part of your infrastructure-as-code stack.
- Automate PostgreSQL setup in CI/CD pipelines without writing raw SQL scripts.
- Manage multiple PostgreSQL environments (dev, staging, production) with consistent, reproducible configurations.
- Provision database users and roles with specific permissions as part of application deployment.
- Coordinate PostgreSQL resource creation with application infrastructure defined in the same Pulumi program.
