Traffic spikes.Your database doesn't.
Every database sits behind a connection pooler. When launch day hits, extra requests wait a moment instead of knocking Postgres over.

Built to stay up.Priced to stay fair.
Five promises we build around, so you can stop worrying about the database and get back to the app.
- 01
Crash-proof Postgres
A connection pooler sits in front of every database. When traffic jumps, requests queue for a moment instead of crashing it.
- 02
Pay in naira by bank transfer
Pay from any Nigerian bank account. No dollar card, no exchange-rate markup, no declined card at midnight.
- 03
Bills you can predict
Every plan has hard caps. Reach one and your app slows down. You never get a surprise bill, and your data is never deleted.
- 04
Move in minutesEarly access
Importers for Supabase, Firebase, Appwrite Cloud and Railway bring your schema and data across with one command.
- 05
Your data stays yours
One-click export in standard formats, any time. We test restores every week, so backups are proven, not hoped for.
Moving?We carry the boxes.
One command copies your schema, data, users and files, then checks the counts match. Your old project stays untouched until you are ready to switch.

Prices in naira. No dollar card needed. 14-day refund.
Why most people pick Builder: it is only ₦2,500 more than Starter each month, for twice the reserved RAM, five times the storage (5 GB instead of 1 GB), 7 days of point-in-time recovery and email support.
Founding customers keep their price for 12 months.
Questions.Straight answers.
Still unsure? Talk to us. A real person will read it.
Why is there no free plan?
Free plans get paid for somehow: apps that fall asleep, projects that get deleted, or sudden upgrade walls. We would rather charge a small, fair price and keep your app awake. Starter is ₦5,000 a month, and the 14-day refund means you can try Procyon without risk.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer in naira, from any Nigerian bank. Choose monthly, quarterly or annual billing, send the amount on your invoice, and your plan starts once the payment is confirmed. No dollar card and no exchange-rate surprises.
What happens if I miss a payment?
Nothing is deleted. We remind you before your paid-through date. If a payment is late, your project is paused, not deleted, and you can still export your data. Pay, and it comes straight back.
Can I leave and take my data?
Yes, any time. One-click export gives you a standard Postgres dump plus your Appwrite data and files. There are no exit fees.
Where is my data hosted?
In Johannesburg, South Africa, today. If you need your data in Nigeria, we can host it in Lagos on request. Ask us about the Sovereign plan.
Is this built on open-source tools?
Yes. Procyon runs PostgreSQL, a proven open-source connection pooler and Appwrite. We manage, patch, back up and monitor them for you. Because everything is standard, your app is never locked in.
Who is behind Procyon?
Procyon is built by Ariyo Osuolale in Lagos State, a cross-platform mobile developer with four years of experience. You can reach Ariyo directly at stactplatforms@gmail.com.
