ParadeDB Cloud is coming

Just use Postgres.

ParadeDB makes your hardest queries fast. One Postgres platform for transactions, text and vector search, filters, facets, and joins, so you don’t need to move your data to Elasticsearch.

Performance

Ordinary SQL at extraordinary speeds.

See how ParadeDB performs where Postgres falls short. Measured against the 28M row Hacker News dataset, reproducible with paradedb/benchmarker.

SELECT id, title, by, score
FROM hn_items
WHERE text ||| 'rust'
ORDER BY pdb.score(id) DESC
LIMIT 10

  • Powered by Tantivy, the Rust port of Lucene, for state-of-the-art full-text search performance.
  • Tunable BM25 scoring, the same lexical ranking used by dedicated search engines.
  • Elastic-style search: typo tolerance, highlighting, phrase, fuzzy, proximity, and regex queries.

Architecture

No bespoke search engine. Zero ETL.

ParadeDB pairs Postgres' transactional storage with a unified index combining inverted, vector, and columnar data structures.

Foundation

Fully Postgres native.

Built on the world's most-admired open-source database, proven in production at every scale.

what you get06 / 06
01

Shipped as an extension

Pure Postgres extension, not a fork. Drops into any self-managed Postgres. Or let us run it for you.

CREATE EXTENSION pg_search;
02

Built as an index

No sidecar process, no external cluster — just a native index on your tables.

CREATE INDEX … USING paradedb;
03

Standard SQL

Joins, CTEs, window functions, JSONB, PL/pgSQL, row level security (RLS), materialized views. Search is a WHERE clause.

SELECT … WHERE body &&& 'postgres'
04

ACID transactions

Commits, rollbacks, and foreign keys, all with read after write guarantees.

BEGIN; … COMMIT;
05

Replicates like Postgres

High availability through physical replication, plus horizontal read scaling with read replicas, available on the Enterprise plan.

pg_basebackup -R …

The Postgres ecosystem

pg_dump, logical replication, pgBackRest, and the tooling your team already trusts — plus pg_partman, pg_cron, PostGIS, and the rest of the extension catalog.

CREATE EXTENSION pg_cron;

Case Studies

Trusted by enterprises.

The most innovative companies use ParadeDB to do more with Postgres.

“Built on the solid foundation of Postgres, ParadeDB provides the good parts of Elasticsearch we actually need, without the infrastructure and hassle of data synchronization.”
