Customer Information
After careful consideration, we want to inform you that ElephantSQL will be discontinuing its services. The process is expected to be completed within the next year , reaching end of life on January 27, 2025. During this transition, you will have the time to move to alternative solutions.
We are committed to providing support during this transition.
Why is this happening?
We have begun the process of discontinuing ElephantSQL. While this doesn't mean the service will cease immediately, it is time to consider your options.
In this process we've partnered with Aiven, a company offering an excellent alternative to ElephantSQL. To continue your journey with PostgreSQL, we feel confident that you will have a great experience with Aiven. Their team is ready to guide you through the migration.
