ReleaseRun Badges for PostgreSQL
Live version freshness, EOL status, CVE counts, and health badges for PostgreSQL. Embed in your README, docs, or dashboard.

Why Use PostgreSQL Health Badges?
PostgreSQL’s 5-year support window means versions quietly drop off the patch list while teams assume they’re still covered. A health badge shows your users — and your own team — whether the Postgres version in your stack is still getting security fixes.
ReleaseRun badges go beyond Shields.io. While Shields.io shows a version number, our badges show security posture: CVE counts, EOL countdowns, and a composite health grade based on freshness (35%), security (35%), and support status (30%).
Common Use Cases
- ORM and driver maintainers: Show which PostgreSQL versions your library tests against and flag when any of them leave the support window. If you still test against Postgres 12, that badge will tell your users it’s time to move.
- Platform teams: Embed badges in runbooks or internal dashboards to track Postgres versions across RDS instances, self-hosted clusters, and dev environments. Picking the right database starts with knowing what you’re already running.
- Documentation sites: Add version health next to connection setup guides so developers verify their target Postgres version is still maintained.
What Makes These Different
Every badge pulls live data from the endoflife.date API and the NIST National Vulnerability Database. Data refreshes every 6 hours. Badges are edge-cached for 5 minutes — fast enough for CI pipelines, dashboards, and decision guides.
PostgreSQL Versions
Security Overview
CVE vulnerability data is sourced from the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and refreshed every 6 hours.
Check specific version CVEs using the badge builder above or visit our PostgreSQL hub page for detailed security analysis.
Upgrade Guidance
Running an older version of PostgreSQL? Here's what to consider when planning your upgrade:
- Check breaking changes in release notes
- Review EOL dates for your current version
- Test in staging before production rollout
- Consider LTS versions for stability
See the official PostgreSQL documentation for detailed upgrade instructions.
