Hi, Database Labs founder here. That phrase could be a little clearer, I agree. I'm going to update the site soon to incorporate the feedback I've gotten. What we mean is that the Postgres system itself is "server / OS level" management. We set up a reasonable set of defaults for a generic workload per server type, and you get superuser access to the Postgres server to do what you like with in terms of internal structure (schema, indices, users/roles, and so on.) We handle backups, OS upgrades, Postgres upgrades, monitoring, OS-level security, firewalling, intrusion detection, and other sysadmin-like stuff. We are on call 24 hours a day to deal with the issues that will inevitably arise, and we proactively work to minimize the frequency with which they happen. The value proposition lies in how you want to spend your time. Our feedback so far indicates that a significant number of people would rather pay someone to handle all of the sysadmin chores and focus their time on their core app. Thanks for the feedback. I'll be updating the page soon to try to make the value proposition clearer.
