ParadeDB is an advanced database solution built on PostgreSQL, designed for real-time search and analytics. It serves as an alternative to Elasticsearch, modernizing its features while leveraging PostgreSQL's robust capabilities. ParadeDB offers full-text search with BM25, dense and sparse vector search with pgvector, and hybrid search functionalities. For analytics, it includes an analytical query engine that can handle data within PostgreSQL or any object store, column-oriented table access for fast analytics, and high-volume data ingestion from sources like Kafka.
ParadeDB supports specialized workloads, including geospatial data handling with PostGIS, scheduling with pg_cron, and basic incremental view maintenance through pg_ivm. The platform is available for self-hosted deployments via Docker and Kubernetes, with prebuilt binaries for major Linux distributions and PostgreSQL versions 14, 15, and 16.
The tool is currently in public beta, with a roadmap that includes enhancing search and analytics features. Users can deploy ParadeDB locally or in self-hosted environments using Docker images or Kubernetes Helm charts. Community contributions are welcomed, and commercial support is available for enterprise users. ParadeDB is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, with options for commercial licensing.
