Hello world example using PostgreSQL

One of the easiest ways to get going is to leverage compose templates. You can existing templates or create your own. Here is a sample compose spec to create single writer Postgres SaaS:

version: '3.9'
services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres
    ports:
      - '5432:5432'
    environment:
      - SECURITY_CONTEXT_USER_ID=999
      - SECURITY_CONTEXT_GROUP_ID=999
      - POSTGRES_USER=username
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
      - PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/dbdata
    volumes:
      - ./data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

In the above case:

• We are using only 1 service component (postgres) with the standard image (postgres) and infra (port: 5432)
• Given no account config is specified, the infrastructure for your SaaS is provisioned in the Omnistrate account
• There are a few static environment variables that will be injected into the runtime process like POSTGRES_USER

In general, the compose config allows you to specify:

• Service components and relationship across them
• Image(s)
• Environment
• Infrastructure
• Capabilities
• Account config information
• Enable/Disable Integrations
• SaaS experience (input/output params with constraints)

Here is the generated Postgres SaaS from the above spec looks like:

In addition, Omnistrate fully automates scaling, monitoring, billing, observability, patching and much more.
