Heroku launches cloud Postgres database
Heroku has launched a standalone PostgreSQL database that runs from the cloud.
The Heroku Postgres database-as-a-service product was announced by the company on Wednesday. It is a PostgreSQL database that sits on top of Heroku's platform-as-a-service, which is in turn mounted on top of Amazon's Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure-as-a-service cloud.
