Announcing our $12M Series A

Simple, Elastic-Quality Search for Postgres

You want better search, not the burden of Elasticsearch. ParadeDB is the modern Elastic alternative built as a Postgres extension.

Features

The complete toolkit for search

ParadeDB brings everything you need from a modern search engine into Postgres, including text, hybrid, and faceted search.

CREATE INDEX ON animals
USING bm25 (
    id,
    (name::pdb.ngram(3,3)),
    (description::pdb.unicode_words('stemmer=english'))
);
  • Advanced tokenization

    12+ different tokenizers to break apart text into searchable tokens.

  • Multi-language support

    Support for 20+ languages, including dictionary-based tokenizers.

Benefits

Zero ETL means
zero headache

Because ParadeDB is just Postgres, it can run as a logical replica of any managed Postgres, or be installed inside any self-hosted Postgres.

ParadeDB can replicate from any managed Postgres — RDS, Supabase, Google Cloud/Azure Postgres, Neon, etc.
