Create a PostgreSQL database in WoWSQL's Mumbai, India region and we run it for you: provisioning, updates, backups and connection pooling. Unlike a plain database host, every WoWSQL project also includes Auth, file storage, realtime subscriptions and auto-generated REST APIs, so you can use as much of the backend as you need.
WoWSQL is run by WoWSQL Technologies Private Limited, a company registered in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. WoWSQL Technologies is a DPIIT-recognised startup and a member of the NVIDIA Inception program.

psql, pgAdmin, Prisma, Drizzle or any Postgres driver. - Fully managed. Instant provisioning, automatic updates, built-in connection pooling, and encryption at rest and in transit.
- Backups. Daily backups with 7-day retention on Pro and Scale.
- REST APIs generated from your schema at
/rest/v1/<table>, enforcing your RLS policies. - Auth, Storage and Realtime in the same project, at no extra module cost.
- SQL editor with MERA, an AI assistant that writes PostgreSQL from plain English.
- MCP server for Claude, Cursor and VS Code, with OAuth sign-in and a read-only mode.
Why host Postgres in Mumbai?
- Latency. If your users and app servers are in India, keeping the database in the same country cuts round-trip time compared with a US or European region. Put the database in the same region as your app servers.
- Data location. Some customers and contracts ask for the primary database to be in India. A Mumbai project keeps your Postgres data there.
- One vendor, one region. Database, auth, files and realtime live in the same project and region, instead of being spread across several services.
WoWSQL has two regions: Mumbai and US East 1. The US East 1 region runs on the same platform, for North American and global users.

WoWSQL vs other ways to run Postgres in India
| Option | You get | You manage |
|---|---|---|
| WoWSQL (Mumbai) | Managed Postgres + Auth, Storage, Realtime, REST, MCP | Schema, policies, app code |
| Database-only Postgres hosts in India | Managed Postgres | Auth, APIs, storage and realtime yourself |
| Hyperscaler Postgres in Mumbai (Amazon RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure) | Managed Postgres, many enterprise options | API layer, auth, storage, and usually higher cost at small sizes |
| Postgres on your own VPS | Full control | Patching, backups, failover, monitoring |
If you only need a database and want the lowest price from a database-only host, that path may suit you better. If you're building an app and would otherwise wire up auth, an API and file storage yourself, WoWSQL saves that work.
Moving an existing Postgres database to WoWSQL
- Create a project and select Mumbai, India.
- Run
pg_dumpagainst your current database, then restore withpsqlorpg_restoreusing your WoWSQL connection string. - Turn on RLS and add policies for the tables your frontend will call.
- Point your app at the new connection string, or use
@wowsql/sdkand the REST API:
import WowSQLClient from '@wowsql/sdk'
const client = new WowSQLClient({
projectUrl: 'myproject',
apiKey: 'wowsql_anon_your_key_here',
})
const users = await client.table('users').select('*').get()
