Heroku announce: Launch of Heroku Postgres as standalone db service

Today we're excited to announce the launch of <https://postgres.heroku.com>
Heroku Postgres as a standalone service.

With measured service uptime of four nines (99.99%), and designed data
durability of eleven nines (99.999999999%), the service is trustworthy for
mission-critical data. As of today, these production-quality Heroku Postgres
databases are independently available for use from any cloud platform,
provisioned instantly, metered by the second, and without contract. Heroku
Postgres is battle-tested and in operation since 2007 and has successfully
and safely written 19 billion customer transactions, and another 400 million
write-transactions are processed every day.
