Feature Flags

SysEleven DBaas provides feature flags to turn specific features on or off.

How Feature Flags Work

Each feature has a default state (on or off) defined by the platform. You can override the default per instance. When updating an instance, only the features you explicitly change are affected — other features retain their current state.

Some features require an instance rollover, which may cause a brief downtime (for single-instance setups) or trigger a failover (for multi-instance setups). The Rollover column in the table below indicates which features require this.

Available Features

Feature	Default	Description	Rollover required
provisioned_metrics	off	Enables provisioned observability for your PostgreSQL instance
extensions	off	Allows installing additional PostgreSQL extensions on your instance

Viewing Available Features

data "sys11dbaas_features" "this" {
  type = "postgresql"
}

The data source returns the list of available features and their default states.

Enabling Features on an Instance

resource "sys11dbaas_database" "this" {
  # ... other configuration ...

  application_config = {
    features = {
      provisioned_metrics = "on"
    }
  }
}
