Can my agent read my database?

On while, yes, in SQL and read-only, with your permissions.

Can I go back to yesterday at 6 pm?

On while and at Scalingo, yes, to a precise moment. Render does it too on its paid plans, and Heroku from its Standard plan up.

How much for a small database?

On while, €5 per month for an S database.

Best managed PostgreSQL hosting in 2026: 6 options

A managed PostgreSQL database means backups you don’t have to make, and a way back when a migration goes wrong. Here is where to host one with its app.

The right choice depends on your app

Do your apps handle health data, or do your customers require certifications? Choose Scalingo: it is ISO 27001 certified and offers health data hosting¹.
Do you want a database in a few seconds, and does France not matter to you? Choose Railway: your agent creates it in one request².
Must your database stay in France, and should your AI agent be able to read it safely? Choose while: your agent reads it in SQL without being able to write to it, and it goes back to a precise moment.

Try while on your app, without an account. Copy the instructions
