PostgreSQL-powered search engine for real‑time analytics and update‑heavy workloads.
ParadeDB offers full‑text search and analytics inside PostgreSQL, with real‑time updates, hybrid and vector capabilities, deployable via Docker or Helm.
ParadeDB targets developers, data engineers, and analysts who need powerful full‑text and vector search without managing a separate search cluster. It fits applications that already use PostgreSQL and want to add search, analytics, or similarity capabilities directly in the database.
Built as an extension to PostgreSQL 14+, ParadeDB implements Elasticsearch‑compatible query operators, BM25 ranking, hybrid search (text + sparse/dense vectors), and real‑time indexing. Because it runs inside the same transaction engine, updates are instantly searchable, enabling use cases such as live product catalogs, log monitoring, and recommendation pipelines.
ParadeDB can be launched with a single Docker command or deployed on Kubernetes via a Helm chart backed by CloudNativePG. Pre‑compiled binaries are available for major Linux distributions and macOS, and the extensions can be compiled for other PostgreSQL versions. Documentation provides step‑by‑step guides for installation, schema design, and query tuning.
When teams consider ParadeDB, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Managed search service to index and query text & structured data
AI-powered enterprise search service that indexes and searches across various content repositories with natural language queries
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
E‑commerce product catalog search
Customers find relevant products instantly, with up‑to‑date inventory reflected in search results.
Log monitoring and alerting
Operators query logs in real time, combining keyword search with anomaly detection vectors.
Personalized recommendation engine
Hybrid queries match user queries to item embeddings, delivering context‑aware suggestions.
Compliance reporting
Analysts run full‑text and numeric aggregations across transactional data without exporting to external tools.
Yes, it works as a standard PostgreSQL extension, so tools like psql, pgAdmin, and ORMs operate unchanged.
ParadeDB supports PostgreSQL 14 and newer; earlier versions are not compatible.
Pre‑built packages are available for Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, and you can also compile from source following the README.
Currently there is no hosted service; you can join the waitlist for future cloud offerings.
ParadeDB is released under the AGPL‑3.0 license.
