pgfence Cloud Beta

The open-source CLI stays free. Cloud is currently a design partner program for teams helping shape approvals, audit history, and shared policy around risky migrations.

What design partners are shaping

  • Approval workflows: sign-off paths for HIGH and CRITICAL migrations before merge.
  • Exemptions with justification and expiry: recorded bypasses with ownership and expiration.
  • Shared policies: org-wide rules for thresholds and required migration guardrails.
  • Audit history: a review trail for analyses, approvals, and exemptions.
  • Operational reporting: rollout and review visibility for migration-heavy teams.

No Database Credentials

The public analyzer already supports DB-size-aware scoring through a stats snapshot: your CI runs the snapshot step against your read replica, writes JSON, and pgfence consumes it locally. That trust boundary carries over to the governance work as well, so pgfence does not need direct production database credentials.

What exists today

The public product you can use today is the free analyzer: CLI, LSP, docs, trace mode, and reporting outputs. The Cloud page describes the beta program and product direction around that analyzer, not a generally available self-serve workspace.

Free CLI unchanged

All cloud work is additive. The open-source CLI works exactly the same without any account, login, or API key.

Launch Path

If you are evaluating the product, the fastest path is: read the pricing page, skim security, then try the quick start.
