PostgreSQL 17 is now available for Render Postgres databases

Render Postgres databases now support PostgreSQL version 17. This is now the default version for newly created databases (you can specify a different version at creation time).

You can upgrade an existing database in-place from its Info page in the Render Dashboard:

Note that your database will be temporarily unavailable during the upgrade. The process usually takes less than one hour.

Learn more about PostgreSQL 17 in the release notes. Learn more about database upgrades in the documentation.
