Migrate SQLite to Postgres with Apito
sqlitepostgresql
Apito Cloud Free and Pro run on SQLite. That does not change when you want Postgres. Postgres runs when you self-host the engine, or on Dedicated ($45+/mo). Cloud does not take a Postgres connection string.
The project you already modeled can move with you. You keep the same models. The engine you run is the one that talks to Postgres. The steps for installing that engine are in the self-hosting guide. What Postgres looks like on that engine is on the Postgres page.
There is no import button that turns a Cloud SQLite file into a hosted Postgres database. If you need the rows in Postgres, you export them and load them into the database you operate.
Start free on Cloud if SQLite is enough. Use Dedicated or self-host when you need Postgres.
