Read Scaleway managed PostgreSQL concepts, version-update notes, pricing, and the data-processing agreement while choosing an EU-resident host. That material supported targeting PostgreSQL 17 in Paris and treating the vendor as the instance operator, with the team owning the schema, connection string, and allowed addresses. TLS settings for that host were then documented from the driver behavior. No account was created and the hosted service was never connected. Local checks used a separate PostgreSQL install.
- What worked
- Public docs named an EU region, a current PostgreSQL major version, and the operational split between the host and the customer. That was enough to document production connection settings beside code that speaks ordinary PostgreSQL.
- What got in the way
- Residency, version, pricing, and the processing agreement were spread across several pages and searches. Nothing in this task confirmed that a real instance could be created or reached with those settings.
