PostgreSQL 16 on Managed DB

PostgreSQL 16 is now available when creating a new Managed DB cluster. Existing clusters can upgrade in-place from 14 or 15 with the dashboard upgrade wizard.

What’s notable in PG 16

  • Logical replication from standbys
  • SQL/JSON constructors and IS JSON predicate
  • Faster vacuum on large tables
  • Improved monitoring views

Upgrading

$ibee db cluster upgrade <cluster-name> --version 16

Average upgrade window: 5–10 minutes per replica.
