PostgreSQL is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.
Go to siteOn Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.
import postgresql from "@pipedream/postgresql"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
postgresql,
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Component source code:
// https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/tree/master/components/postgresql
const queryObj = {
text: "SELECT NOW()",
values: [], // Ignored since query does not contain placeholders
};
return await this.postgresql.executeQuery(queryObj);
},
})
Real-time Data Sync: Keep your PostgreSQL database in sync with another data store, like Google Sheets. Each time a new row is added to a PostgreSQL table, a Pipedream workflow can insert the corresponding data into a Google Sheet, ensuring that your team has access to the latest information without manual updates.
Automated Backups: Set up a workflow that triggers on a schedule to perform database backups. The workflow could export data from selected PostgreSQL tables and save them to a cloud storage platform like Dropbox or Google Drive, providing regular and reliable backups without manual intervention.
Event-Driven Notifications: Create a Pipedream workflow that watches for specific changes in your PostgreSQL database, such as a new customer sign-up or reaching a stock threshold. Upon detecting the change, it can send a notification through platforms like Slack or email, keeping relevant stakeholders informed instantly and facilitating timely responses.

PostgreSQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your PostgreSQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to PostgreSQL APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.
Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
