Search without a second system.
One Postgres for your application data, full-text search, vector retrieval, and aggregations.
To install ParadeDB locally in a fresh Docker container and drop straight into a psql session:
curl -fsSL https://paradedb.com/install.sh | shWhen you're ready to deploy, check out our hosting options.
ParadeDB upgrades Postgres with a custom index for fast full-text and vector search, BM25 scoring, filtering, and aggregations. Your application data and search engine live in one database, with no second system to deploy and nothing to sync.
Star and watch this repository to follow along. See our current projects and long-term roadmap.
ParadeDB integrates battle-tested Rust libraries for search and analytics inside Postgres, contributing upstream whenever possible. Our primary dependencies are:
- pgrx — bridges Postgres and Rust
- Tantivy — powers full-text and vector search
- Apache DataFusion — handles OLAP processing
For a deeper dive, see our architecture docs or CMU Database Group talk.
