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.
Architecture
No bespoke search engine. Zero ETL.
ParadeDB pairs Postgres' transactional storage with a unified index combining inverted, vector, and columnar data structures.
More than OLTP
OLTP databases are built for reliable transactions, but not for search. The ParadeDB index brings search-optimized data structures and query execution paths to Postgres.
More than search
Search engines and vector stores like Elasticsearch index a separate copy of your data for search. ParadeDB keeps your application data in one place without any schema changes
Foundation
Fully Postgres native.
Built on the world's most-admired open-source database, proven in production at every scale.
Shipped as an extension
Pure Postgres extension, not a fork. Drops into any self-managed Postgres. Or let us run it for you.
Built as an index
No sidecar process, no external cluster — just a native index on your tables.
Standard SQL
Joins, CTEs, window functions, JSONB, PL/pgSQL, row level security (RLS), materialized views. Search is a WHERE clause.
ACID transactions
Commits, rollbacks, and foreign keys, all with read after write guarantees.
Replicates like Postgres
High availability through physical replication, plus horizontal read scaling with read replicas, available on the Enterprise plan.
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.
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.”
