description: Learn about Tiger Cloud, a fully managed cloud database service built on TimescaleDB and PostgreSQL for time-series and analytics workloads
---

Tiger Cloud is a fully managed cloud database service built on PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB. It is the same engine you would run yourself, operated for you, so you get hypertables, hypercore, continuous aggregates, and hyperfunctions without provisioning or maintaining any infrastructure.

## Who it's for

Tiger Cloud is for teams that want a production time-series and analytics database without operating it themselves:

- **Teams that can run in a public cloud** and want backups, high availability, scaling, upgrades, and observability handled for them.
- **Teams that want to move fast**, from a first project through to production, without building operational tooling along the way.

If your data must stay on infrastructure you operate, on-premises, at the edge, or air-gapped, see [TimescaleDB Enterprise](/learn/enterprise/index.md) or [self-hosted TimescaleDB](/deploy/self-hosted/index.md).

## How it works

Tiger Cloud runs your database on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, in regions across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America. You work with hypertables, continuous aggregates, and full PostgreSQL as usual, while operations like backups, upgrades, scaling, high availability, and observability are managed for you in Tiger Console. See [supported regions](/get-started/supported-regions/index.md) for the full list.

## One console for everything

Tiger Console is the command center for Tiger Cloud. From it you create and manage services, monitor performance, run queries, configure backups and high availability, scale compute and storage, and read logs and metrics.
