oddk: Postgres for the 3 a.m. failure

oddk.dev Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A self-hosted Postgres control plane for provisioning instances, tuning them, making whole-deployment snapshots, monitoring health, and rebuilding a failed host.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

oddk provisions PostgreSQL through a static Go binary and Docker, waiting for the database to answer before marking an instance ready. Its parameter groups derive settings such as shared_buffers and max_connections from the instance's CPU and RAM, while snapshots combine database data with oddk configuration. The documented recovery model targets both single-instance restoration and reconstruction of a host from an archive and a key.
