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.

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.
