pgAgroal Enterprise
Enterprise operations for standard pgagroal: fleet control, hardened Kubernetes deployment, observability, patch delivery, support, and compliance evidence.
The enterprise operations layer for standard pgagroal. The Enterprise image bundles standard pgagroal — the same pooler as the free pgAgroal Container, included — so you deploy one product, not two. The control plane attaches alongside the pooler (never in the data path), and pgagroal is never forked — fixes go upstream.
What you get
The operations layer that turns standard pgagroal into a managed fleet platform.
- Fleet inventory & drift detection across every pooler instance
- Kubernetes operator & Helm chart for declarative deployment
- Non-root, read-only-root defaults with all capabilities dropped
- NetworkPolicies & PodDisruptionBudgets by default
- Prometheus alerts & Grafana dashboards, curated and drift-guarded
- Health-gated upgrades — canary, health gate, automatic rollback
- Signed artifacts, SBOMs, and a VEX policy on every release
- CVE-response SLA with patch delivery to your fleet
- Audit export for compliance evidence
- Redacted support bundle for fast, safe diagnostics
- PgBouncer migration tooling — config import + migration report
- Cloud marketplace or direct procurement, with support
Free pgAgroal Container vs pgAgroal Enterprise
The free container is production-ready and self-managed. Enterprise adds the operations layer around it — same pooler underneath.
| Capability | Free pgAgroal Container | pgAgroal Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Standard pgagroal pooler | ||
| Operating model | Self-managed | Managed operations layer |
| Hardened deployment | Hardened container defaults | Operator + PDBs, NetworkPolicies, Kyverno policies |
| Fleet inventory & drift detection | — | |
| Grafana dashboards + Prometheus alerts | — | |
| Signed artifacts & SBOM | Per release | + VEX + CVE-response SLA + patch delivery |
| Audit export, support bundle, health-gated upgrades | — | |
| PgBouncer migration tooling | — | |
| Support | Community / optional contract | Included |
| Procurement | Docker Hub — free | Cloud marketplace or direct subscription |
| Price | Free | Commercial subscription |
Running pgagroal yourself? The free container is a great fit and stays free. Enterprise is for teams that want the operation, support, and compliance evidence handled for them.
Buy through your cloud
Procure on existing cloud spend and deploy on your managed Kubernetes.
Cloud marketplace
Procure against existing cloud commitments on a single invoice, with terms accepted at subscribe time, and deploy on EKS / AKS / GKE alongside your platform standards. AWS Marketplace is available; Azure and Google Cloud are planned.
Direct & air-gapped
For on-premises, private-cloud, or air-gapped environments, a direct subscription delivers a signed, digest-pinned bundle (images, SBOMs, chart, dashboards, policies) for offline install.
Open core, by commitment
pgAgroal Enterprise is not a fork and not in the data path. It attaches alongside the pooler; if the control plane is unavailable, your pools keep serving traffic. Security and correctness fixes for the pooler go upstream — standard pgagroal stays standard, and the open container stays free and source-available.
Enterprise value is operational delivery, support, packaging, automation, compliance evidence, and procurement — not exclusive fixes. Read the open-core boundary for the exact split.
