Here's how I do it with Heroku. Are there some cloud services that don't have an equivalent?

  heroku pg:backups:capture --app x
  heroku pg:backups:download --app x
  pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -U postgres -d y local_db_for_robots_etc.dump

This takes more than 6 seconds. I'm curious how they achieved that for arbitrary DBs!
