PostgreSQL versions

Crunchy Bridge maintains support for several versions of PostgreSQL at any given time. As the PostgreSQL Global Development Group sunsets an older version, Crunchy Bridge also removes support for that version well in advance, and we'll notify you so you can prepare to upgrade. We also provide tools and support so you can upgrade your cluster to a newer version.

Postgres versions on Crunchy Bridge

Crunchy Bridge currently supports PostgreSQL versions 13, 14, 15, and 16. PostgreSQL 12 is currently being phased out and is available on a limited basis to customers who were already using that version. Note that hobby-0 and hobby-1 tier clusters can only run PG 15 or 16.

Each Postgres major version will be available to provision new Crunchy Bridge clusters until 18 months before the PostgreSQL Global Development Group sunsets their support. We will completely remove the availability of that major version six months in advance of the end of community support. You'll receive advance notification via Support ticket if your clusters are running a version that's being phased out.

Major version support timeline

To ensure the security and operability of a cluster, we must phase out Postgres versions before the community/PostgreSQL Global Development Group ends their support. If a cluster is still running a Postgres version when Bridge availability ends, it will be automatically upgraded it to a newer version.

Minor version upgrades

The community releases minor versions at least four times a year, and sometimes more often. Crunchy Bridge clusters are automatically updated with new minor versions automatically in the course of other operations, such as plan or storage changes, failovers, and other maintenance.
