Postgres 12 and 13 are now generally available!
Documentation on database versions and upgrades is available here: https://render.com/docs/databases#database-versions--upgrades
For Postgres 13 databases most extensions are no longer enabled by default, documentation on extension support is available here: https://render.com/docs/databases#postgresql-extensions
Please reach out to support@render.com with any questions.

We've now launched the early access phase of our Postgres 12 / 13 support! All users who are following this feature request have had early access enabled on their accounts and can select a Postgres major version (11, 12, or 13) when creating a new database through the dashboard.
During the early access phase we do not recommend use for any production / critical systems. If you encounter any issues during early access, please contact us at support@render.com.
If you'd like to test Postgres 12 / 13 in early access but don't see the option available in the dashboard when creating a database, please email us at support@render.com to have the feature added to your account.

Hari Demirev: This is great news! I'd love to use it for my production app as I had some Postgres problems before. Could you elaborate on the stability or lack thereof during the beta? How hard would it be to rollback to an earlier version? I should probably be patient and wait for the official release, but I'm eager to give this a try 😅

Marc Köhlbrugge: We haven't observed any instability, but I'd definitely recommend waiting to see if any bugs are discovered before moving production apps over. We won't offer the ability to change major versions after a database has been created, so rolling back would involving dumping the contents of the database and restoring them to a new PG 11 database.

Some good news: based on our initial engineering work, we expect to be able to launch PG 12 and 13 in early access by July (next month).

Can you provide some transparency on the reason for supporting postgres 11 and not supporting newer versions like 13 and soon 14. I understand that you provide a lot of value added services on top, but if you there are plans of supporting postgres, then it needs to move faster.
Anurag Goel
Geries Handal: it has to do with how we’ve implemented Postgres 11. Upgrading isn’t as straightforward, but we’re actively working on a new way to support new Postgres versions shortly after they’re released. We will launch support for both v12 and v13 together.

Anurag Goel: hello, is there any chance you can provide a more accurate release date? Thanks
Anurag Goel
Dario Ielardi: I would've gladly shared an ETA but we don't have one just yet. Apologies! Still planned for this summer; likely Q3.
