ParadeDB is Officially on Render

By Ming Ying on May 12, 2026

We're excited to announce that Render now supports ParadeDB as an official integration. This means one-click deployment of ParadeDB onto Render, allowing you to go from zero to a running ParadeDB instance in under a minute.

Why Render?

Render is one of the leading platforms for deploying AI applications, databases, and backend services. Its developer experience is exceptional: push-to-deploy, automatic environment variables, and a clean dashboard for managing services.

Deploy ParadeDB in One Click

The ParadeDB Render Blueprint deploys ParadeDB Community as a private service with persistent SSD storage. Click the button below to provision it in your account, or use Render's official ParadeDB template.

Behind the scenes, the Blueprint will:

• Create a private service named paradedb running the official ParadeDB Docker image.
• Attach a 10 GB persistent disk for your database data, mounted at /var/lib/postgresql.
• Configure the following environment variables for you:

Connect to Your Instance

ParadeDB runs as a private service on Render, which means it is not exposed to the public internet.

To connect from another service in your Render private network, use the service name as the host:

psql -h paradedb -U postgres -d paradedb

To connect from your local machine, SSH into the service and run psql from inside the container:

ssh srv-XXXXXXXXXXXXX@ssh.<region>.render.com
psql -U postgres -d paradedb

Replace srv-XXXXXXXXXXXXX with your service ID from the Render dashboard, and make sure you've added an SSH key to your Render account first.

Try a Quick Search Query

Once connected, you can immediately start using ParadeDB's search features. Load the sample table, create a BM25 index, and run a full-text search:

CALL paradedb.create_bm25_test_table(
  schema_name => 'public',
  table_name => 'mock_items'
);

CREATE INDEX search_idx ON mock_items
USING bm25 (id, description, category, rating, in_stock, created_at, metadata, weight_range)
WITH (key_field='id');

SELECT description, pdb.score(id)
FROM mock_items
WHERE description ||| 'running shoes' AND rating > 2
ORDER BY score DESC
LIMIT 5;
