Just use Postgres
One Postgres for your application data, full-text search, vector retrieval, and aggregations.
When queries get too slow, developers usually reach for systems like Elasticsearch. ParadeDB makes text and vector search, filters, facets, and joins fast in Postgres.
Built as a Postgres extension, ParadeDB pairs Postgres' transactional storage with a unified index combining inverted, vector, and columnar data structures. Keep your application data in one place and query it with standard SQL, with ACID transactions and the Postgres tools you already use. No Elasticsearch. Zero ETL.
Explore our documentation to learn how ParadeDB works and what you can build with it. When you're ready, get started locally with Docker or build on ParadeDB Cloud.
Companies use ParadeDB to replace Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and custom search stacks while keeping Postgres as their system of record. Explore customer stories to learn more.
