ParadeDB

The transactional Elasticsearch alternative built on Postgres

ParadeDB

Postgres for Search and Analytics

WebsiteDocsCommunityBlogChangelog


You want better search, not the burden of Elasticsearch.

ParadeDB is the modern Elasticsearch alternative built as a Postgres extension. It brings full-text, hybrid, and faceted search directly into PostgreSQL — no separate search system required.

Because ParadeDB is just Postgres, it can run as a logical replica of any managed Postgres instance or be installed within any self-hosted Postgres cluster. No new infrastructure, no sync pipelines, no eventual consistency.

🚀 Getting Started

🤝 Who's Using ParadeDB?
