Public PostgreSQL hostnames start with the database's name

Peter Ekhator

When you turn on public access for a database, its hostname now starts with the database's name, for example orders-api-7k2m9q.us-east-1.db.computesphere.com.

Hostnames are public: they appear in DNS, so don't put anything sensitive in a database's name.

Existing hostnames don't change. See PostgreSQL: public endpoint.
